We went for drinks on Monday after work around 6pm. They have happy hour till 7pm everyday so we got cheap drinks for our first one for the night. There were 3 girls including me and one of us was a vegetarian. We shared Carlos nachos with guacamole, cheese crisp (tortilla pizza) and the strawberry dessert. Their portion is huge in general so we needed to carefully pick menu to be able to have a sweets in the end. But what we didn't know was how massive the dessert could be... It's flat doughnut like deep fried dough with glazed strawberry, vanilla icecream and whipping cream. Compare the size with my friends' hands in the pic!! I don't recall the name but there is only one with strawberry. Everything tasted good and reasonable price, especially with happy hour, and we definitely satisfied with their portion. We will for sure come back!!

Nice place for grub and drinks. They have good happy hour deals. The tacos we ordered were not so good since the chips were already soggy when it was served. The portions are big though and can be shared by 2 to 3 people.

Happy hour 4-7pm should not be missed! Great deals on draught beer (under $4 a pint), delicious nachos and wings, and very large mains (platter-sized). The sopapillas for dessert are massive too, and awesome with the strawberries and ice-cream

I wouldn't say that the food is life changing, a lot of americanized "mexican" style food. however its always consistently good. The servers are always very bubbly and quite friendly, its a cool atmosphere and a good place to hang out with friends. It's well known through Osborne and you have to go at least once.

A bit on the expensive side, especially considering the portion sizes are relatively modest. The nachos oaxa came on am 8" round plate with store bought chips, not even home made. The poutine had refried beans on it (weird), The server got my deinknorder wrong. The guacamole was plain and a 2oz portion for 3.50. Not impressed will.probably not be going back.

The service was great. No complains there. But the food unfortunately was not. The Mexican idea was there but the flavours were completely off. The refried beans looked like dry minced beef and was tasteless. The taco shell on the salad tastes like pure oil. Ill spare the details on the rest but it just kept getting worse. Truly disappointed. Gave two stars just for the service.

Been going here since the early eighties. Over the years has been amazingly consistent quality and the best 'Mexican' in town IMHO. One of my son's very favourites and it's a must stop for my daughter who lives out of the province now when she returns for a visit. And I don't think there's an awful lot else about Winnipeg she really has a craving for. Favourites are the wings, any flavour fine, but I like the hot ones. Always prefer the patio when weather is conducive.

Great beer selection. Tasty wings, nachos Oaxaca and taco salad and not to mention the chimichangas! Nothing has really disappointed me. And their dessert the sopapilla OMG! SO GOOD. The only reason for 4 stars is it can be a little cleaner.

Food was Mediocre and expensive. Service was unhelpful and slightly rude. The portions were a decent size but lacked the flavour and authenticity of good Mexican food. A lack of non-spicy ground beef made finding a dish for my friend difficult and the salsa was runny and bland. In the end the only thing any of us enjoyed was the nachos.

Good

The Guacamole dip is massive. Our server (not sure her name, but pretty girl, dark features) was a super good server and so nice. And I worked in the service industry for years.

Overall the food was good too and well priced

Haven't been there for awhile now. Not much has changed. Still great food,and service. We started with the nachos, she had the 3 tacos,and I had the chimichauga. Both great, and we both had a hard time eating it all. Hope to go back again,in the near future.
