It was one of the best Mexican food we had. Staffs are very friendly and deco of resto is cute. Guacamole was so fresh and tasty. We loved their Birria, fish and vegetarian tacos. We will definitely come back to this restaurant when in the area.

We visited this gem to celebrate my wife's birthday, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. I had flowers sent in advance, and the staff had them arranged at our table before we arrived, a thoughtful touch that set the tone for the evening. The hospitality here is top-tier. One of the co-owners and chef, Jorge, personally came to our table to greet us and walk us through the menu. As someone who has traveled to Mexico many times and truly loves the cuisine, I can confidently say this is some of the best Mexican food I’ve had in Canada. The Drinks & Food Margaritas: We tried both the Tequila and Mezcal versions. Both were excellent, though the Mezcal margarita had a smoky depth that made it the standout. Appetizers: On the chef's recommendation, we had the **Guacamole** (served in a traditional stone molcajete) and the **Kibis**. Both were fresh and flavorful. Main Courses: We ordered the **Quesabirria Tacos** and the **Octopus**. Both were phenomenal. Octopus is notoriously difficult to get right, but here it was prepared flawlessly. Dessert: They treated us to freshly made **Churros with ice cream**, which were the perfect, delicious end to the meal. Verdict Even though we live in Quebec City and it was a 70-minute drive each way, it was worth every second of the trip. If you appreciate authentic, high-quality Mexican food, this place is special. **Pro Tip:** This place is popular for a reason, make sure to book a reservation in advance!

I was visiting town for the first time this weekend with my better half, and we were looking for somewhere warm and cozy to celebrate our anniversary. After coming across *Nixtamal* online and reading the reviews, our shared love for Mexican food made it an easy choice—and it absolutely delivered. From the moment we walked in, despite the place being packed, we were greeted with a genuine smile and a heartfelt welcome from the staff. We had arrived about 15 minutes early for our reservation (completely on us!), so we waited briefly until our table was ready. Right on time, we were seated at a clean table with menus in hand—perfectly organized and professional. The ambiance was exactly what we were hoping for: cozy, quaint, and inviting. The tables are fairly close together, but thanks to thoughtful acoustic treatment on the ceiling, you don’t hear surrounding conversations. A small detail, but one that made a big difference—clearly well thought out and well executed. Service throughout the evening was impeccable. Courteous, friendly, attentive without being overbearing—we never once felt rushed, even as the restaurant filled up again later in the evening. And then, the food… honestly, five stars don’t feel like enough. It’s rare that I leave a restaurant feeling both completely satisfied *and* like I got great value for what I paid, but this was definitely one of those times. Every dish was fresh, vibrant, and beautifully presented. The flavors were bold and perfectly balanced—spicy where it needed to be, but never overwhelming. And when something had more heat, we were given a heads-up, which I really appreciated. For transparency, we ordered the Nachos El Gringo (hands down the best nachos I’ve ever had), the kibis—served with a bit of history behind them, which was a nice touch—and for mains, the cochinita and birria tacos. Each taco was a soft-shell delight, packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. All in all, an outstanding experience from start to finish. We’ll absolutely be back the next time we’re in town.
