- PCPaul Clark1 day ago5.0Colby's sister, Hayley, was awesome and fun. Food was great, great experience all around. Thanks Colby’s sister!!! We will be back!
- CICally Islam4 days ago5.0The food was delish. I had a beautiful gluten free, dairy free tacos. My daughter said the best Ramen ever! We are coming back!
- JSJP Saroya6 days ago3.0Ordered to go and ordered 3 classic tacos and a classic burrito with shredded cheese inside the burrito. Burrito did not come with red sauce or ketchup with the fries. Burrito was missing shredded cheese inside the burrito, instead the cheese came on the side? Never had this happen at the Edmonton location.
- YDYuliia DAug 16, 20261.0The tacos were big, but unfortunately, that was about the only positive thing. The food was completely bland and lacked flavor. There are so many other restaurants where the tacos are much more enjoyable. In my opinion, this place just doesn’t stand up to the competition.
- FFFrancisco Linares FermosellAug 9, 20265.0Espectacular el sitio con el ambiente y el servicio de camareras, uno de los mejores mexicanos en los que he comido y más aun teniendo en cuenta la calidad/precio y el sabor natural de los ingredientes principales.
