An amazing spot for Mexican food! Cozy, intimate restaurant with a lovely team behind it. The shrimp tacos were delicious and ending the dining experience with churros and good conversation with the staff members just leaves you warm and happy. Definitely worth a stop! Can’t wait to try more of their menu ❤️

We have eaten in Mexican restaurants...Mexico, US and Canada. I had the shrimp tacos with rice and salad, my wife had the burritos with same sides and we were blown away, The sauces and the chili oil added an extra punch to the food. The black chili oil I had never seen before and it's amazing. Charlotte (co-owner) made us feel right at home and we had a visit as well from her husband and owner/chef which added the extra touch to the meal. Highly recommend this excellent restaurant.

The old resto here El Tabarnaco was my favorite "Mexican" Place in Sherbrooke. I was eager to come out and SUPPORT this new ownership. As the other reviewer stated, the price was indeed VERY expensive however what they failed to mention was that it was a PRE OPENING with a selected menu so that is not to be expected with the actual opening. We had to reserve to be there and price was made known ahead of time so no surprise for us. Just happy to be supporting some local businesses. With that being said we were there on the first night and yes service was slow but it was to be expected as it was the pre- opening for them to get ready for the big day. The food was AMAZING and I cannot wait to return.. Later tonight for some more nachos. I HIGHLY suggest this restaurent, you will not be dissapointed

Everything was delicious and the service was really friendly and warm. We were a little worried about parking, but we were able to easily park on the street directly in front of the restaurant on a Friday evening. Wheelchair accessibility: There are high steps to go down to get to the restaurant.

★★★

The food is good - well, on the other hand, the tacos really lack sauce or fat, which are dry. In addition, the service is simply terrible, the people who served us honestly seemed like they wanted to be somewhere else and the woman who initially welcomed us was almost surprised to see customers coming in after 8 p.m.! (It was November 16)

Best Nachos ever I highly recommend El Chupa Nachos. Everything is homemade and you can feel it on the taste buds. The service is very warm and courteous. A unique little restaurant, cozy yet festive. The owners, young entrepreneurs, got it done!! First time for me and my partner and certainly not the last time. For aperitif fans, Sangria is truly delicious. Only negative point . I cant, unfortunately, bring this restaurant back to my corner of the country... Too bad!!! A special thank you to our server Jonathan!! But everyone seems as nice as him. Thank you to El Chupa for our excellent dinner and a wonderful evening!!!!

The festive but relaxed atmosphere, the delicious drinks and the food that makes you want to eat the same thing 3 days in a row before diving into another meal! Recipes with traditional flavors, simmered, tasty and without artificial flavors! Accessible owners, family values and love of partying! Vegetarian options: TASTY vegetarian options Tofu marinated like a good meat. Zero compromise, even carnivores choose it for its unique taste, which touches on cinnamon, cocoa and chili pepper. Impressive

Super friendly little restaurant, it was delicious! Absolutely nothing to say about the dishes and drinks, the Mexican flavor was 180%! The only thing missing was some Mexican music to match the ambiance (my only slight disappointment), but otherwise everything was perfect!

The food is good, the whole family liked it. For the rest, the experience is disappointing. Music is loud, service is slow. The employees talk to each other, loudly, even when they come to serve us. We hear everything that happens in the kitchen, and its not always pleasant. Prices are expensive for the experience. Ive been there twice and there wont be a third. I miss El Tabarnaco.

I am delighted to share my experience at the Mexican restaurant El Chupa. Upon our arrival, we were greeted by a lively and friendly atmosphere that immediately transported us to the heart of Mexico. The colorful decor and traditional accents added a touch of authenticity to our evening. The staff were extremely welcoming and attentive, which added to the pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. The quality of the food was truly exceptional. We ordered four different dishes - the burrito, Old El Paso tacos, chicken enchilada and El Chupa beef tacos - and each was delicious and spicy as hell, offering just the right amount of heat to tantalize the taste buds. Although the El Chupa cocktail was not quite to my personal taste, I found it very original due to its flavors of hibiscus and passion fruit. Overall, a remarkable dining experience that I highly recommend to Mexican food lovers.

I ordered the Al Pastor tacos, as I was nostalgic for my trip to Mexico earlier. My expectations were exceeded, it was nice to find the authentic taste, the small soft tortillas, the multiple sauces, just yum!!! I didnt think I could find it here, so I will definitely come back!

Its far from Mexican food. They dont even know how to make a michelada. Tacos without any Mexican taste and the tortillas are not made with corn at all, not to mention the long wait and we end up receiving it cold. 0.5/5
