Every year we visit Ottawa and make a point of visiting our favorite Mexican restaurant. Thank you to our server Paige for making our visit memorable. Once again, the Mole Enchiladas were fantastic. Combo platter for newbie to the restaurant, and he enjoyed it.

The food was good. Main dishes are big enough to share, but a little too big for one person. I would personally prefer somewhat less expensive and smaller plates; as the prices do tend to be a little on the expensive side. Service was very friendly and proactive. My only real critic would be the awful smell in the mens washroom.
