Our aim is to serve up a dynamic menu, and connect with the community through our love of art & music.

Located in the North end of the city at 130 Eglinton Ave E.

    It’s very very noisy and loud. Food was great and the service was good. There were 4 of us and they mixed all of the tacos together and we weren’t sure what was what and one person can’t have dairy and one didn’t eat meat. It would be nice if they just plated the tacos as ordered.

    Music is way too loud and booming for conversation. Completely unnecessary.

    This meal was a bit weird in that some dishes were delicious (chorizo, cod and pollo taco), the steak taco came out very cold, and the apps were a miss (guac used to me fresh but is now obviously not but the chips were good). It was relly weird having half our food delicious, half not very good at all. Service was excellent though.

    Nice little meal. Tuna tostada was super spicy! Only real complaint t is being charged $4 for each refill of soda water without being informed when we asked for refills…which were super necessary given how heavily laden the tuna tostada was with habaneros.

    The restaurant is cute, but you pay quite a lot for a very little amount of food. Also, the menu is very limited.

    The food was average, the service was faster than other reviews have mentioned. However the staff were not very friendly or helpful. The tables were sticky and poorly kept.
