One of my girlfriends always raves about this breakfast spot. She lives close to the one downtown. We were available on Saturday and thought we'd give it a try. Right off the bat I would say the service was quite fast. Also not sure if it's because we arrived an hour before they were closing and it was not as busy. But super loved how fast our server was at getting our food and checking in on us. The food was super flavourful. My husband ordered a Caesar and it was nice and spicy. He also ordered the Mexican breakfast and he never gets bacon because it's one of those things where you really need to know how to cook it properly to get it nice and crispy. A lot of breakfast spots I believe don't know how to make it like that. However, his meal came with bacon and it was absolutely delicious the way it was made! For my meal I asked the server for a recommendation and she gave me a reco to order the huevos rancheros . I added on the chorizo. What an amazing recommendation. My food was full of flavor with a kick of spice. My eggs were cooked perfectly. Loved the baguettes instead of having a full-on slice of toast. The salad was a nice little touch. Super super love the food! It was so tasty and I would totally come back. In terms of the decor, it was a little bit confusing. It's a Mexican breakfast spot, but they had a very European feel with the wallpaper. Other than that, It's a small little quaint spot with a very bright and open concept. I gave the spot a five out of five based on a combination of the service we received, the quality of food and location.

If you’re looking for a twist on the ‘all day breakfast’ or brunch this is a place for you. It’s a small quaint restaurant with friendly service, outdoor patio and good food. We had the Mexican Benedict ($22), Eggs Salmon ($21.50), and Nachos Benedict ($19.99). Each of us enjoyed our plates. I had the Mexican Benedict that came with 2 soft poached eggs on guacamole, chorizo, English muffin and hollandaise sauce with a touch of habanero sauce. I asked for half salad and half home fries. I felt it could have used more hollandaise sauce and more heat (spice). My sister-in-law gave me the jalapeños from her Nachos Benedict so I was satisfied. The dish also could have been hotter (temperature wise) but I still enjoyed it. We also shared a Raspberry Lemon Water in a Jar which was good for the three of us. It would be refreshing on a hot day. We were there on a Tuesday, early afternoon, so it wasn’t busy and found street parking in front of the restaurant.

Worst dining experience ever! I arrived here at noon and waited over 25 mins for food that arrived cold and poorly made. The Vegan Chorizo Tacos had no toppings whatsoever. The menu description: Ground chorizo, with sautéed onions, beans and mozzarella cheese with red salsa and lime wedges on the side. Salsa only on the side. After inquiring with the waitress, the reply was the onions are mixed up in the chorizo. I asked her to take them back as they were never touched . I told her I have never been served naked tacos before and could not eat them. My Friend's dish Tex-Mex Quesadillas with chorizo same thing, menu description: Chorizo (Pork): Ground chorizo, with sautéed onions, beans and mozzarella cheese with red salsa and lime wedges on the side. Some of the quesadilla had chorizo and some had very little, sprinkling of cheese no onions or beans. Definitely no where close to Mexican gourmet. The bill was asked for and we were still billed for both dishes even though Rebecca the waitress told us the tacos would be not be included. We asked for the owner and as soon as he came over he immediately began berating us and yelling at us "You are going to pay like every one else here". We could not believe what was happening. We stated calmly that the food was not made properly and was missing items and we were not going to pay for something poorly made and a dish that was never touched. The offer was made to pay for half my friend's meal and the drinks but he refused and he threatened to call the cops. He then started shouting that we were haters and my friend and I got up to go inside (patio is falling apart). My friend showed his plate to the other patrons and explained what happened and the owner came up to him and told him to shut up and it looked like he was going to get physical with my friend. My friend told him calmly not to touch him. He said ok ok pay for half the dish and your drinks and get out. We paid the bill tipped the waitress well as this was not her fault and as we were walking out he kept on yelling at us and embarrassing himself and we told him we will never come back and he said he did not care. Don't go here and expect anything resembling Mexican food just the worse I have ever seen. He never offered to fix anything and for him it is all about the money. Very embarrassed to be yelled and be berated for complaining about poor quality of food. Instead of making amends, the owner began a tirade in front other patrons and compromised his integrity if he had any semblance of one to begin with. I am a huge foodie, when I do reviews I address the good and the bad and this was one of the worse for me.

First time here. We were 3 people and had brunch at 12:00 noon on a Saturday. Food was alright. What I’m unhappy about are all the other parts of being in a restaurant. Firstly, we sat down and within 5 minutes, 3 different waitresses asked us for our food orders. My husband never had the chance to read through the entire menu, and I was interrupted 3 times in our conversations. Literally 5 min. Anyway, we ordered, the food arrive fast. Bottomless coffee was not refilled, so we saw the bottom of the cups plenty of times. I asked for egg white, and there was an additional charge. See receipt under “open food, $2”. Then I asked for some peanut butter and jam, which were also extra, see receipt at $1 each, and I got a small portion of both. I could understand the egg white being extra, as lots of places do have surcharge for that, but $2 is STEEP for egg whites. But, surcharge for peanut butter and jam??? Halfway through the meal, my husband put his fork down for a minute, and the waitress took it away. LOL he wasn’t even done his food.....we had to ask for a new fork. Anyway, once we’re done, we had 3 different waitresses asking us if we’d like the bill at different times. I told one of them, “We’d like to wait a bit for the bill. You have open tables available and there’s no line up right now.” She walked away, but literally 3 min later, someone else came and asked, “Just wanting to see if you want your bill together or separate.” Omg!!! CHILL. It’s Brunch! What’s the rush?? I get that you want table turn over to maximize profit, but like I pointed out to them, there were open tables and no line up. By the time we left, it was exactly 54 min. LOL.....we were hustled out fast. Did not leave a tip.

I have no idea why this place has a rating as high as it does. I came here for brunch with my wife and we both barely ate half of our plates. For a restaurant described as "Mexican-inspired," it's a very poor homage. The restaurant is extremely noisy, as the magic bullet smoothie maker running every few minutes sounds like a construction jackhammer. We could barely have a conversation. The food was tasteless. Mexican cuisine is meant to have plenty of exciting flavours, but the empanada I had tasted like cardboard with completely unseasoned, stale chicken and cold, hardened mozzarella cheese. My wife had the eggs benedict on a waffle. The Hollandaise sauce on the benedict was more like a dry crust over poorly-cooked eggs, days-old pulled chicken, and a sponge of a waffle. Even the potatoes were barely seasoned, but at least they were cooked through. The servers were professional and friendly, and relatively quick - so I have no complaints with the staff. However, I just can't understand how anyone would put the words 'Huevos Gourmet' and 'delicious' or 'tasty' in the same sentence.

I personally had a less than pleasant experience at this restaurant, first of all we ordered a mango juice for $4.99 which was a boxed juice because I saw one of their waiters serving it, the size for that price is too small, if you order a juice it should be prepared in the restaurant not one that you can buy in a supermarket and charge you that price. Second, the potatoes were raw and burnt when I mentioned it to one of your waitresses she only said "sorry" an unprofessional response to something so unpleasant, my husband practically left all the potatoes, ahh the sandwich had burnt bread... third their waitresses on several occasions wanted to take the plates off the table when we had not finished eating, finally I had to beg for a glass of water 3 times. Unfortunately I had high expectations for this place (even more on Mother's Day) and we’re was disappointed.
