Restaurant is located downtown Halifax so park spot is not tricky.They have few vegetarian options or they will remove meat and add veggies, ambience and services were perfect.

Really, really great service! Food was hot and everyone loved their meal. I guess my only criticism would be that I ordered the smashed potatoes as a side and they came out whole. Haha, maybe this is how they're supposed to be but I was expecting them to be smashed. Will be back!

I like to come here for taco Tuesday or for a casual drink and tacos. The atmosphere and decor is beautiful and very unique. Service is fast and food is delicious.

I am usually not one to comment on ethnic. Food being made by other cultures (white) like in this case where you're in the middle of Halifax, it is to be expected. But honestly, this place was offensive. It had a lot of food items that aren't typical of white Mexican restos, so I was expecting them to be good because it shows they are familiar with the deeper part of the culture. But it was all such a disappointment, especially the beans!! They tastes like they lacked iron... I just couldn't believe how mad the beans were...

I came with my family to celebrate my kid's birthday. Wow, a place for this event. Everything came out perfectly. The service, the food, the drinks and the atmosphere. 10 out of 10. Sure, we are coming back.

We visited Halifax for my birthday, and after ALOT of research, we landed on this restaurant for dinner as we don’t have anything like this at home. I had the Chile Relleno; a breaded stuffed poblano pepper, brimming with cream cheese, corn, jalapeños, and beans. It was an absolute revelation—rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor in every bite. The enmoladas were equally delightful, offering a deep, savory goodness that perfectly complemented the meal. Both dishes were exceptional. We had the beans and rice as a side, which complemented the dishes really well. We also had the Antojo Margarita, elderflower lemonade, & I highly recommend the anticuado no.3 if you enjoy Mezcal. The server was attentive and knowledgable & to top it off we were even allowed to bring our dog on the patio. I was very happy about this as we are from New Brunswick and I hate leaving her in the hotel if I don’t have to. All around first rate experience!

So nice that me and my friend went twice! The apps we tried was the guacamole trio and the Mexican street corn - definitely recommend the street corn but the trio was great too! I had the Quesabirria with a side of lime soup one night, and the Chicken Enmoladas with a side of rice and beans, the second night. The quesabirria was rich, filling, and the consumme had a super intense flavour. The lime soup was very flavourful as well, had a tarty, mouth watering taste and that was a great dinner that was only surpassed by the Chicken Enmoladas. The waiter said it would be a life changing experience if I've never had mole sauce before and it actually, literally, was. The enmoladas had a very complex, earthy flavour that tantalized and delighted the senses. I'm almost salivating at the thought of it, now. The rice and beans was well done and could have easily been a meal in itself - powerfully simple, it is a titan in the realm of rice and bean dishes. The rice is lightly flavoured and stir fried with something that makes them slightly buttered and green, and the refried beans was very tasty on its own. Overall, an amazing food experience that I would highly recommend.

My mom and I walked by here after a long day of travelling and wanted some tacos and tequila! We just happen to out that into our Google search and we were only 3 minutes away. The food was absolutely amazing, waitress was attentive, knowledgeable, quick, and friendly. The atmosphere was awesome, they allow dogs outside on the patio, which is a win in my books! Margaritas are fantastic! I had the fish taco, chicken taco, 3 margaritas (it was margarita Monday 🍹) and shared a smaller plate of nachos with my mom. Overall great spot and highly recommend and I will be coming back

Made a reservation for 8, we love the food here but this time the service was just not there, our server was very pleasant but just not attentive. Our meals were warm not hot so they were sitting there for a bit before being delivered and the server blamed the chef. He messed up one of the orders and missed a dessert request as well. We had to constantly flag down for drinks. The food was still yummy as always so no complaints there. Just an average experience unfortunately.

The worst experience at this restaurant. Ryan denied me food saying I was intoxicated after having 2 drinks served by them! I brought this up level to the manager Leon who was completely ignorant of a liquor license requirement and only tried to minimize his employees actions of not serving me food. There are federal laws against serving alcohol that require food be served at the least a limited menu. This goes against the requirement to have a liquor license and I will be reporting it first thing in the morning. I will also be bringing this up to legendary hospitality who Leon says is the company that oversees this establishment so that they are aware of the way their employees are representing their brand!

December 8, 2024

Initial service was good until about 40 minutes before our agreed time there was pressure by the server to get us out 15 minutes earlier. This the server verified and again we were told we had to leave earlier. So the manage was call and eventually she turned up to apologize for their mistake but by that time we had rushed our drinks and snacks. She wasnt interested in that our evening was spoilt. There was nothing back from her apart from a timid sorry in regards to spoiling our night. I have talk to a few people and they think the restaurant handled this disgracefully and I agree.

Deliciousness! Everything Ive tried as well as my companions has been excellent. Quality of food is exceptional, right down to the homemade ice cream for desert. Quantity of food is also generous portions, particularly given the cost of eating out these days. Service is warm, friendly and welcoming - love that. The non-alcoholic drink options are also delicious - its so nice to have healthy, yummy fancy drink options that are without alcohol - thank you! Vegetarian options: The Chile Relleno is a generous portion and VERY tasty!

Probably the first thing I should mention is this is Halifax. Dont expect the same level of spice as one might find further South. The food is very tasty, the servers friendly, the atmosphere is convivial. The food is tasty and service was prompt. I was dismayed at the lack of spice, but again, I live for extreme spice - so this place may be spicy enough for you - it is all subjective

I recently visited this restaurant for their Monday margaritas and ordered a quesadilla. I have to say, it s the best spot to go on Mondays! The margaritas were fantastic, and the quesadilla was delicious, perfectly cooked with just the right amount of cheese and fillings. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, making it a great place to unwind at the start of the week. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking to enjoy great food and drinks on a Monday night!

Long-term fan of this place. We return over and over because they consistently get everything right - the food, the service, and the vibe. A favourite. I ve never tried anything in the menu that wasn t awesome. The Sopa de Lima is great if soup is your jam. Tacos and burritos delicious, and the nachos are tops in town. They also have a great brunch on the weekends with excellent chilaquiles! Staff are all above and beyond.

This is an excellent spot. It s a bit removed from the harbour front so it s not chaotic, we stayed in the patio because we have a dog, which was fine since it was a pretty nice day, and the staff were super friendly. We ordered the mushroom cotija quesadilla for appetizers and it was very good. We then ordered carnita, al pastors, beef tongue, and chicken tinga tacos, all of which were delicious. They provide a selection of hot sauces to choose from. My wife liked them, even though they were a bit mild. They re too spicy for me but I m not a hot sauce guy. After travelling around Nova Scotia and having seafood every place we went to, this was a nice change of pace and we are definitely coming back whenever we return to Halifax.

Service was great but the food was not. The corn dip tasted like warmed up canned corn. The sauce and feta on top were great, but there wasn t nearly enough. All of the tacos that we tried we did not enjoy as they were cold and had little flavour. We had high hopes but unfortunately were disappointed. We did enjoy the drinks.

This visit was my second time here, and won t be my last. The food is incredible and so is the service. We had John serving us and he was spirit on with some recommendations! With the music being at a certain level, everyone s voice is also elevated so it s a little difficult to have a chat across the table. But the atmosphere and the decor is great! I had the Carne Asada this time and wow! The flavours are so amazing, and adding on a dab or two of the house hot sauces just make the meal! I found the steak to be a little tough, so having it in the corn tortillas made it a little messy when trying a bite. But the flavour was just so good. I ate everything I was given. Clean plate club! Will definitely be back on my future visits to Halifax! Vegetarian options: Friends daughter had the mushroom enchiladas and ate every bite!

Portion size was great for the quesadilla, a lot of bang for my buck, the drinks were good, and the service was as much as you can ask for when theyre packed on national Tequila day! Although the pride drink didnt come with all the same things my friends did, and the food was a little bland

I had a fantastic experience at Antojo! The food was flavorful and authentic, with standout dishes like their perfectly seasoned tacos and rich, savory enchiladas. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the staff was attentive and friendly. It s definitely a go-to spot for delicious Mexican cuisine.

I went in for lunch on Saturday, June 22, 2024. Service was wonderful! I was greeted warmly by the hostess (didn t catch her name, unfortunately). My server Chloe was amazing, you can tell she really cares!! Food was delicious - I had the quesabirria and it was so tasty. Side of rice and beans was good too, and Paloma was delicious and not too sweet. Highly recommend this place!

We came on Taco Tuesday night where all tacos were $4. The tacos were delicious and our server was great in assisting with our dairy allergy. It took a while for our tacos to come out, but it was busy that night, so understandable. We will definitely visit again the next time we are in Halifax.

The only reason the atmosphere got a 4/5 I s because the music was not quite the Mexican experience, like it was Mexican music don t get me wrong, but trap? Nah dude have some respect for the people eating

We were visiting Halifax and were looking for a Mexican restaurant within walking distance from our hotel. This one popped up as the #1 Mexican restaurant in town, only 11 minutes away. What a piece of luck! Unique ambience featuring the Mexican Day of the Dead, friendly and efficient service, excellent enchiladas and margaritas. So happy to have found this place and heartily recommend it.

Great evening for 6 of us. Sarah was able to make accomodations for 2 more when we only had a reservation for 4. Service was fantastic and as always, food was first rate. As a former owner of a southern California style Mexican restaurant, I can tell you they are doing it right here. Great vibe, awesome food and excellent service. Many thanks

We came to Halifax and went a little barhopping to four different restaurants to have drinks, appetizers, etc. Here we sat and waited 10 minutes and received no service. I had to go to the bar to order drinks. We ordered chips and salsa which never ever came. No one came back to check after the meal was served, overall very poor service.

We were very disappointed. We were at a conference and went for lunch at this establishment. We advised the server at the onset we were at a conference and had limited time for lunch (it wasn t that short 12:30 to 2:00) so a total 1.5 hours. We only got our meal at 1:50. We had to basically scarf down our meal / some people left their meals in order to get back on time. So needless to say we were upset, if the restaurant can t accommodate us, let us know.

Visited here from Toronto as part of my road trip with family and to celebrate father s day. Hannah is amazing. She knows what she s doing very experienced and attentive. She was constantly checking on us making sure we are doing okay. Has an amazing menu knowledge, made some suggestions which turned out to be finger licking good! She deserves a massive pay bump and a good meal for working this hard! Thank you again for hosting us. I will definitely see you guys next time i visit this beautiful city. Ishaan B.
