★★★★★“Most authentic Mexican food I have had in the UK. I got the lamb quesadilla, it was a bit pricey but well worth it. The flavors of the sides, the richness of the meat, the quality of the tortillas were all excellent. I have had Mexican food in the U.S., and this is def as authentic.”
★★★★★“Came in here at lunch time and ordered the pardon peppers, watermelon salad, cauliflower tacos and black beans sweet potato tacos. Enjoyed every bit of it! The avo and watermelon in the salad were fresh and sweet. The sauce with the pardon peppers was flavourful and tomatoey. The tacos were loaded and also very fresh and flavourful. My only complaint was the lack of heat in the food, but there were hot sauces on the table. Server was very attentive and gave us water when we sat down. Took our order promptly and checked in with every table. Would definitely recommend!”
★★★★★“Excellent food and service but place is freezing cold. They said heating is not working 😮, they should work on it as in this winter not fair with people paying to sit in a cold place in their hats and scarf.”
