    Definitely my favourite Mexican food in Port Moody! Love the tortilla soup and the burrito. Highly recommend. The restaurant itself is really nothing special but I was there just for the food

    Atmosphere: medium in size, very family friendly.

    pricing: market value.

    Customer Service: i was lucky that i didn't have a bad experience but a neutral one, neither here nor there. i did read some of the reviews before coming down here so i did "brace" myself but it was good.

    Food: best for lunch. i had a short lunch, however, they served me in a timely manner which was appreciated. i love mexican food in general. it was okay mexican, nothing to write home about but wanted to sooth my craving.

    Came here on a whim... we were undecided where to go for a late lunch and as we're walking along the area we passed by this restaurant and decided to try it.

    I love the interior and decor... very Mexican and unique.     Actually makes you feel like you're in Mexico.

    I have to agree to most of the reviews that service can be unwelcoming and might seem rude or sarcastic. I have experienced it as well but very briefly. We tried to ignore it and just stayed calm and polite and it seems like the service turned a lot better after we ordered.

    My husband ordered the lunch special which is Nachito to start and burritos for main. I had the Milanesa for main and just shared the Nachito with my husband since it's good for 2-3 people.

    The Nachito is really good and I like that they put the salsa on the side so it doesn't drench the chips, so it can stay nice and crispy. The jalapeño on top is pretty spicy so make sure to only eat tiny pieces of it.

    My husband loved the burrito and finished the whole thing plus some of my order.

    The Milanesa is pretty big and not what I expected. It usually comes with mash potato but I asked for rice instead and it's actually a good combo.

    We both enjoyed our food and maybe we'll try something different next time we're in.

    Always great food but slow service and it never gets better. Too bad because we love coming here

    Extremely rude reception. Will never go back. We used to go here from time to time years ago and thought we'd go back. We were seated at a table by the window by the hostess, at our request. However, soon after Charlie comes by and asks me to a small table in a dark corner. When I asked to stay where I was, Charlie said he needs to keep the area clear in case he gets a larger group (it was a 4 person table and we were a group of 2). I told him that if a larger group comes in he could move us then and he walked away with a nasty look on his face shaking his head at me. We left immediately without ordering.
