This is officially my favorite Mexican restaurant in Canada. The attention given to the food prep and ingredients used make this place that much better than other Mexican restaurants. We have tried many of their dishes and all have been excellent. Their flan is one of the best I have ever had. I have to also mention that the traditional use of clay plates and pitchers adds a very nice touch. The owners are beautiful people. They came over to introduce themselves and were very personable on our first visit. Our family always enjoys coming here. It's a much better experience in person and portions seem slightly more in person.

This quaint Mexican cafe serves brunch to dinner with the finest authentic traditional dishes. Very friendly, warm and inviting atmosphere. Definitely good seating for individuals, couples or families. Great value, fresh and delicious made from scratch for such a modest price. With cafe de olla (spiced coffee) and Modela we enjoyed sopes, a quesadilla and a burrito and had to bring some home because we couldn't finish the generous servings. And none too spicy for my husband's taste. We will definitely be back.

Authentic Mexican food with cute merchandise. The wait was longer than anticipated, so it’s not a fast-food place by any stretch. We came for brunch. My friends were not so impressed with the Benny eggs twist. My tacos were great, although I found the pastries to be a bit too sweet for my taste.

I love Mexican food and this place hit the spot! Delicious authentic food and excellent service in an adorable cafe style setting with gorgeous art throughout. I had the Chilaquiles with beef and my friend had the Split Decisions with chicken, and we both had the Churro Cheesecake for dessert. Delicioso!

Great place, family owned and super nice. Service was a bit slow when we went but super attentive and a very small show so makes sense. Well worth the wait for the food, delicious and amazing!! Recommend everything on the menu, had most of it and all delicious!
