I ordered fish and chicken tacos. I would have eaten in house, but the sound level was ridiculously loud, so I opted for takeout. The food came quickly and it was better than I expected though not at all authentically Mexican. But the shocking aspect was the size of the tacos; absolutely minuscule! Three tacos for $18 and I was left hungry. You need to double your order. This would make it $36 for lunch. Absurd. I can't get over the dumb reviews in Hamilton. Everyone raves about this place. What do Hamiltonians never leave the house - travel the world? Total bumpkins or what? The food was OK but the value was not here. The guy working cash, was decent. read more

Great place for a snack/lunch. Tables are tiny. Nice vibe. Servers are friendly. I ordered the patatas bravas and a few tacos (fish, ginger carrot). I think patatas bravas is a hidden gem. I've had it before and I had to order this the second I saw the menu. It was a little different with the addition of an egg but the potatoes were delicious and crispy. Portion size was small but enough for one. The tacos were good. I wouldn't say amazing or something I would crave.the tacos are less authentic and more fusion. I think this is a place worth exploring. The have jarrito on the menu. Real ones know read more

Went here with 3 of myfriends felt like the waiters were very rude and racist. It was just like they did not want to serve us.

Went back again a few weeks ago and had a great experience. Looking forward to returning once they reopen

This is a place to go to if you want a quick drink and quite bite to eat. We were a little peeved about the wait time to get a table (40-45mins on a Friday) but I don't blame them because the place was PACKED! The food and the service however, was quick and efficient, and extremely tasty! I had their mango shrimp cerviche but I would definitely go back for their pork belly tacos! read more

food was not bad but was way overprice for tacos. service and atmsphere were pretty good. read more

Been lucky to have some very good Mexican food. The pork belly, chicken tacos; average at best, extremely small portion/size. $12 for a small snack essentially, plus full of boring hipsters w bad tattoos and stupid septum piercings. Worst. read more

Everyone raves about this place, and we love tacos so we figured why not give it a try?! Unfortunately, as cute as the vintage looking glass bottles on the table are (used to fill customer's water glasses), I am a bit of a stickler for cleanliness in restaurants and the INSIDE of the glass bottles was filthy. We thought maybe it was just one bottle, so we check the tables on either side of us which were empty when we arrived; both bottles were equally as disgusting. We didn't stay to eat. read more

If you want authentic tacos - don't come here. If you want fun creative modern tacos - also don't come. Their menu looks great, but the result is disappointing. First, the flavors just aren't there. The mole taco had barely any mole, the fish taco was just bland, and the halloumi taco was chewy and uninspiring. On top of it, it was all lukewarm, and we were there on Wednesday at 6pm, not exactly the busiest time. The most upsetting of all was their queso fundido. $12 for a barely warmed up cheeze whip with store bought pickled jalapeños and few tomatoes or smth. What? Also their beer selection is boring. read more

This is hands down the best Mexican place in Hamilton!! We had such an amazing experience there our first time that we went again a week later! The tacos are super tasty and amazing prices. We also tried the baja wings and although they were small, they were super delicious, some of the best flavour i've ever had on a chicken wing! We also tried the guacamole with chips and... wow the guacamole was so good we had to get 2 more orders of chips!! Extremely friendly staff here with super tasty food and great prices, and the interior and music is awesome too!! Highly recommend this place if you're in or around the Hamilton area read more

Came here with a bunch of foodies and decided to try a couple tacos. To be honest I was a bit underwhelmed. I was expecting a much higher quality taco but didn't quite get that. The place has a great vibe though, friendly staff and fun atmosphere. Willing to give it a second chance and will update if I have a better experience. read more

Been here a couple times because the food is great. But the last time I went, my sister and I ordered tacos, she took a bite out of one of her tacos when she noticed a bug- fruit fly or something of the sort. So she told our server. The server did not apologize, or offer her a new one or discount our bill or even some little discount for next time. What our server asked was "did we serve it to you with the bug in it?" Again, food was amazing but just annoyed with the overall experience read more

3.5/5. This was a pretty good experience considering I was just a cold walk-in. Like others have mentioned, the big minus here are the prices: they definitely feel a bit steep considering the modest portion sizes. Aside from that, the achiote chicken and pork belly tacos I ordered were reasonably good, though if I had to nitpick, there was really nothing about the flavors which "popped". Battered fish taco was a bit dry, and again, taste was pleasing but not anything to write home about. Service was friendly. Atmosphere is casual and maybe a bit rambunctious depending on the crowd size. I can see this being a really popular hangout for the locals considering it doubles as a bar. read more

Loveddd this place. I was looking for some good tacos since moving from Texas, and these really hit the spot. The vibe was awesome - great music and really friendly service. I had the achiote chicken and pork belly tacos. I preferred the achiote chicken, but the pork belly was still delicious. My friend had the pork belly, fish taco, and haloumi, and liked all of them. The margaritas were also quite good. There was plenty of parking nearby, which was a plus for me. If I had to find something to complain about, it would be the tiny tables and chairs, but on my next visit I'll just sit at the bar. Texan approved - I'll be back next time I'm looking for a taco fix. read more

Great Taco place. This bar and restaurant has real character with a very interesting atmosphere. Try the Fried Calamari and Cheese Fondue for starter. Fish, Greek and Brussels sprouts Taco read more

Okay at it's best. Portion sizes aren't that big and certainly don't think their tacos are worth $5-6 each. However, the place it self is quite neat and staff are friendly! read more

Came here a few weeks ago during the weekend of Hamilton's Super Crawl and really happy I did. This place is GREAT. Capital G great. Sat at the bar and ordered some mixed drinks, tequila, & plates of food to share. We had 2 types of tacos, wings, and the salmon ceviche....ALL fantastic At one point we had waited about 10 minutes for 2 tequila shots & the bartender had forgot. When I reminded him he gave us 2 shots of tequila on the house! Talk about amazing service :) High recommend this joint. 5/5 across the board (food, service, decor) read more

Came here with 2 others, upon arrival the place was pretty empty. We were seated against the window and honestly the table was way too small for 3 people to fit. Anyways, we ordered fish tacos, calamari, and some sort of nacho I don't quite remember. Hands down the best fish tacos I've ever had! Pleaaaase get this when you come here because it's so worth it. The calamari came with only 6 pieces which isn't a lot when it's an appetizer and is being shared between 3 people. The nachos were a good sized portion to share but nothing really stood out to me from this dish. This is a good place to grab a quick meal or a place to hang out and drink with your friends! read more

Loved the tacos here. But it is definitely a Univeristy crowd - so be prepared for loud, drunk people.

Great spot for tacos. Not very big portions, but very tasty. If you want a big taco try "the doors" on hess, but I think this place has it beat on flavour. The atmosphere is really inviting here and the staff seem really chill. There's a sobi station right outside too. read more

RUN DON'T WALK to this place. WOW the food is DA BOMB. So amazing. Limited menu but everything is excellent. Homemade goodness. And what a super friendly staff. Everyone was just so nice and helpful. Our waitress Aaron was the best. Had great suggestions n even remembered to not put cilantro on my husbands tacos as he didn't want it on his guacamole appetizer. Notice for detail was amazing. Wish I lived in Hamilton. Would be there at least once a week! read more

I went here with a few friends to have a drink for my birthday. This was my first outing in Hamilton as I have just moved from Toronto. Got to the bar around 12:45 with three girlfriends and immediately was told there was no table and that we'd have to wait 20 mins. We also couldn't sit at the bar. We just had to stand awkwardly at the front and got in the customers and servers way. After about 20 mins when we still weren't seated and no one left, I decided to take a walk into the bar and check it out. That's when our table was suddenly ready. At the back. With at least three vacant, clean tables. Why didn't the manager seat us upon arrival when no one left? And also, not allowed to sit at the four stools at the bar and have a drink while we waited? I couldn't believe the customer service. Manager came over and took care of my birthday drink and fries. She was nice enough but had to ruin a good vibe by holding us at the front. So uninviting. Server was excellent though. read more

They have Wu-Tang on the walls people! WU. TANG. Does anything else really matter after that?

I really enjoyed my time here with great music...the place serve very good cocktails. The taco could be better but still delicious and worth to try. read more

Awesome place! Great attitude from the staff. Brought in a friend with dietary restrictions and they made it work no issues

This is the hot spot in Hamilton for some delicious tacos! I tried four options from the menu and wow they are absolutely fantastic! I usually would share my favorite pick but here it is impossible to have just one favorite! The customer service is above average and overall I had a great experience here! The environment is a cool industrial with low lighting and very chill music. You have to check it out! read more

Tacos are soooooo good and the waitress is so friendly! Experience was great. Drink options are amazing too.

Awesome tacos. Had two of the chicken and one of the fish. Comes in soft tortillas with nice garnish (veggies and sauce). A little pricy, but the tacos are quite sizable. Service is quick and atmosphere is awesome. Must-go place for group of friends. read more

THIS PLACE has the BEST tacos I have had outside of Mexico. Awesome decor and drinks too. If you are a taco lover this is the place to go

They have cheese fries on the menu... once a week. It's one thing if zucchini is only at the farmer's market on Mondays, but what is so rare and difficult about cheese fries? No salsa except pico. Really limited menu. Food is ok but not great. Service is fine but the seating policy is ridiculous- they act like your requests about seating are super difficult. Guess lots of things are difficult for them! It's ok but they might want to think about welcoming instead of tolerating the people who come to eat here... drinks are strong though read more

The Mule in Hamilton has the best tacos north of the border. Everything that makes a restaurant great is covered at The Mule. The service is friendly and prompt. The ambiance is cool and vibrant at the same time. The food is fresh and delicious and the prices are reasonable. They have about 10 different tacos on the menu and a number of ceviches and a few daily specials. The nacho chips are the best I have ever tasted and the guacamole is also excellent. I had the pulled pork and beef tacos and will definitely be back to try some more. On my visit they had Sushi Nachos, Crab Tostidas and Katsu tacos as specials. Seating is varied with a nice large bar that would be perfect for a quick stop drink and taco, as well as 2 seat high tops and tables at the back of the restaurant. They have lots of gluten free options which really didn't matter to me, but there is more than just tacos to please many palettes. There is lots of parking in the area and the turnover seems quick so you should get a seat quickly even when they're busy. read more

As a big fan of Mexican food, I thoroughly enjoyed The Mule and found their fish taco quite flavourful. The sweet potato taco was delicious as well with the right amount of crispiness. The patatas bravas was cooked well and came with eggs which was an interesting combination. The atmosphere is very lively and is definitely a staple in Hamilton. read more

This place is always a great time for a date, a place to hang with friends, or somewhere to go for a drink and some damn good service. The staff there are always extremely kind and knowledgeable about whats going on at the bar and in the kitchen, they have great recommendations and they keep the water and chips coming. The menu is diverse and theres something for everyone. The tacos are great and not too much, you can eat here really well for under $20. Personally I love achiote chicken and the taco bell, but I come back every time for the queso. If you haven't had it you need tp try it. Its the perfect texture, the perfect heat level, and the endless homemade chips are the perfect addition to any meal. read more

The wife and I love this place. She eats a lot of gluten free stuff so its nice she can get anything here. I just lvoe tacos. And ceviche. They do both great here. Everything is great I just wish portions were a little bigger. Cool atmosphere. read more

We really liked the food and atmosphere of the restaurant and our waiter was fantastic. The guacamole and chips were extremely fresh - our waiter brought us more chips bc we gobbled them down quick. We had fish tacos, Brussels sprout taco, and a Haloumi taco. Favorite was the fish followed by brussel sprout and then haloumi. All of them were good. We were still hungry so we ordered the salmon ceviche. Omg: favorite item on the menu!!! Make sure you try it!! read more

I don't know why it took me so long to get here! The decor is charming and bold, love it. The menu had a great selection and deciding what to order was a challenge. Went with fish (my fav), chicken, (2nd fav), beef and then Brussels sprouts, both very good. It's all pretty spicy! The queso was the best I've had in Hamilton, fantastic! Crisp chips made fresh were a bonus on a great meal. Service was friendly and authentic. I'll be back soon for the pot de creme :) read more

What a "kick-ass-kick-starter" location. I was blown away here. The food is phenomenal, fresh, and creative. Simple items, made to order, cooked to perfection. Here, you don't need a complicated menu. Few choices, but you can't go wrong with anything you choose. Service was amazing, with courteous staff. Food came out expediently fast, and drinks were yummy. I believe I had the Kentucky mule, which is order again. I'm going to try all the tacos before I pick a favourite; will update when I do. 5/5 stars read more
