MIRIAM

Great Mexican restaurant! The guacamole is excellent! We got the sampler and tried the traditional, goat cheese, and cactus. They were all amazing (specially the goat cheese one). The spicy mango margarita is delicious. They have a wide range of cocktails and wines. The tacos and taquitos were very good too. The service is friendly and attentive. In the summer they have an outdoor patio which is lovely.... I look forward to returning!

A must visit spot for authentic Mexican cuisine, the owners and staff were amazing, super friendly. The food is delicious, the portions were perfect size, the restaurant is charming with beautiful colourful art and indoor outdoor dining, I highly recommend this city Gem!

I would like to say that this is my favourite Mexican restaurant in Toronto. The food was absolutely outstanding; very unique, vibrant, flavourful and generous portions. My husband and I ordered some house specials and drinks. We were delightedly full at the end. Restaurant owners and staff were all professional and friendly...At the end of the meal, we were already planning to return to this restaurant to try other dishes. Thanks Xola! It was a great dinner.
