I’ve been here several times and it’s good food. Their lunch express is reasonably priced and quick. Recently the portions got a bit smaller and the complimentary nachos and salsa don’t come with the express which I thought lacked a bit of initiative if you are still dining-​in for lunch and waiting hungry for 15 min with co-​workers before your meal arrives.
Overall tasty and satisfying. I would highly recommend the shrimp tacos for a light meal and the chicken burrito if your really hungry! Both are excellent.

I had give up on this place back in 2013. The food was good but the price was too high and the service was beyond lousy. Jump ahead it’s now 2015 and they’re under new management. A lot has improved. The food is exceptional, The service vastly improved, overall a much better experience than it used to be.

1^st time we were back after reopening under new management.
The food was amazing, we had the platter for two, and my wife and I almost were not able to finish it.
The platter for two, is a great way to sample 4 different dishes and desert.

so i shared a combination platter A
and it was yummy, sadly you cannot order extra items like one more taco ;(
it was a bit pricey but yummy
parking is a nightmare unless you pay to park

It’s a bar. No strike that, it’s a giant Mexican themed bar.
This place is huge. And that’s even before I realized there was another room behind the bar I hadn’t seen walking in. I can only imagine what it’s like on a weekend with live music and an active crowd. As it was we went there for lunch and the staff outnumbered the patrons.
Service is slow, or would have been had the bartender not taken pity on the waitress and taken over our table. The lunch menu is reasonably priced and guaranteed to be served in 15 minutes. As a starter chips and salsa were brought out, the chips were slightly stale and the salsa was of poor quality store bought. The meal itself was good though lacking in spices and with plenty of cheese.
For a quick lunch that’s not the standard sandwich affair Don Pedros offers an alternative that’s worth trying out.

Best Mexican spot in Winnipeg! Upscale compared to Carlos. Dress nice, and enjoy! Lunch and dinner are both great. At night this place is known as The Pink Taco. I’m not making that up, nor do I know why it is called the Pink Taco… Great place though, and in the exchange district which is nice.

The beef taco was great but that was it.

Terrible! We went here for a birthday dinner. They neglected to tell us when booking our reservation that 19 people or more we would be provided with a small, terrible menu that lacked choice. Not only was the service slow and terrible but our waitress was a complete snot. The blended drinks, were bad tasteless half blended cups of ice chunks, as well as 4 people having to send drinks back due to bugs in them. What the worst part was having to pay 15% gratuity on a 6 choice entrée menu that had terrible rude service.

Went here as part Birthday party, was hoping for a lot more then provided. The décor was interesting, the food was ok, I am not sure of the blend between out of a jar verus scatch made, but I figure they are leaning towards fast and easy and the taste suffers. The final verdict is I will not repeat the experience.

The décor fits the theme and is interesting. The service is okay and the food is passable. If you’re not picky about Mexican food and like Carlos & Murphy’s version of Mexican, then you’ll probably like it this place.
My biggest pet peeve about this place is that they serve (yucky) pre-​made salsa from a jar and think that’s acceptable. That’s fine and all but just don’t call yourself and «authentic Mexican grill». If you don’t make salsa in house — you should just call yourself Taco Bell.
There’s very limited free street parking after 5:30 pm in that area and the rest are pay by the hour (or flat rate at night) lots.
