Coming from Montreal, I came with an air of arrogance, thinking that the 4.9 stars in Joliette were not comparable to Montreal. They humbled me with the quality of food they served me. I had a barbacoa burrito which was perfectly marinated. My pit stop in Joliette now!

The best authentic mexican cuisine in all of lanaudiere guaranteed. Simply tastes exquisite. Personally the tacos and chips with guacamole are my jam but the gringa torta and quesadillas are absolutely delicious too. The only downside to the restaurant is how big the restaurant is. Its mostly a take out place. I went twice as a group of 6 and luckily had the tables for us but you might want to consider that before dining in. There are counters with high chairs next to the windows to eat too but still very small.

First experience, to take away. Very well received, more than reasonable waiting time (7 minutes perhaps?) Its very small but its warm! Delicious tacos, tasty semi-hot sauces (my choice), perfect homemade nachos! The crispy fries are like those served by other restaurants but dipping them in sauces adds a nice kick! I ordered the aztecka combo and it easily fills two people. Since Im alone, I have lunch for the next day! I would happily go back!

Excellent food and service. I liked everything I tried and I think I tried the entire menu. Honestly, it s a gem for the region. Before the holidays they made special dishes every Sunday and it was delicious. I was able to taste an excellent pozole which reminded me of the first time I tasted it during a familys Mexico party. I hope they will start the Sunday catering menu again. Don t hesitate to come and taste. The wait can be a little longer during point hours, but its worth it if youre craving typical tacos.

The staff are friendly, theyre always kind and willing to help me with my Spanish while I order, the ambience is fun and quaint, and the food is hands down some of the best Ive had, period. Tortas, tacos, quesadillas and more. With homemade salsas that are delicious and guac and refried beans to match in quality. I can promise you that, any time Im in Joliette, this will be a must stop for me.
