" Such a hidden gem on 17th Ave! Came in for Taco Wednesday and was blown away by how good the food was. The tacos were fresh, flavourful, and really affordable. The bartenders were knowledgeable and recommended a great cocktail for me. The atmosphere was lively without being too loud. Definitely coming back for the live music nights! "
