Well where to begin..... we went in & sat at the only table available. It was dirty & the server made no attempt to clean it when she finally came by 10 minutes later. We ordered a bottled drink & ordered our food at the same time. 20 minutes later she dropped one glass of water on the table (even though there were two of us) & then 5 minutes later dropped off the bottled drink. Another 15 minutes later our food showed up.....

In theory we ordered tacos del pastor, tacos suadero & a burrito but the reality was cold, bland, greasy meat on cold undercooked tortillas with half a pound of cilantro. I have been to Jalisco & any place that served food like this would not last cinco segundos. The salsas in small plastic bottles tasted like blended tomatoes with a hint of onion & a splash of tristeza. The one bottle slipped out of her hand & fell on the floor but she picked it up quickly (cinco segundo rule) & placed it on our table so we didn't have to wait for her to bring a clean one.

Thankfully she never came to ask us how our food was because I would have found it hard to look her in the face & tell her one a scale of one to ten, I would prefer taco bell out of a trash can over this.

To end this all off my wife went to use the bathroom (the bathroom was probably the only authentic Mexican thing in the building, kinda like a bathroom at a gas station in Michoacan) & after pumping some soap on her hands discovered that the sink was out of order & had no water but the tape holding it to the wall was a nice touch. She came out with her hands covered in soap & asked the server where she could finish washing her hands & she responded with a shrug of her shoulders & an'I don't know'.

Some experiences are memorable but for all the wrong reasons.

The best Mexican food I've tried in Quebec City! This restaurant truly captures the vibrant essence of a Mexican dining experience. The music is amazing, & the colorful décor creates a lively atmosphere. Upon arrival, the waiter was incredibly welcoming, even offering us free appetizers. The food was absolutely delicious, made with fresh ingredients, & I loved the self-serve salsa station-it's such a fun touch! The only downside was the restroom. It was dirty, the sink was clogged, & the space was extremely small. While the restaurant itself is wonderful, they really need to focus on improving the cleanliness & functionality of their facilities. Overall, it's a great place with fantastic food & ambiance, but there's room for improvement in the restroom area.
