We dropped in on a Tuesday night without booking, it was busy but they were turning over the tables quickly. Tuesday’s is two for one taco night so we took that up and got a bunch of other dishes to share. That’s a great way to eat here, sharing dishes, between friends. The margaritas were good with lots of interesting flavours with local lime juice used. The service was good, they gave our fried chicken to the wrong table but rectified the issue when we asked where it had got too. Overall the food was tasty, margaritas great and the service was good. Would definitely eat here again. Try the spicy fries in the starters, they were delicious!

I loved the Margaritas, best drinks- I hade the rose margarita and the livin la vida loca ! However the food was very disappointing except the Mamacita Fried chicjen that was delicious. The tacos were very small and not worth the price I paid, I ordered the de pollo. It was a good service, the girls were nice and I enjoyed watching the drinks get made. Very small space inside though.

We have visited this establishment before, unfortunately the service has slipped. Incorrect meals and repeated wrong drink deliveries. Portions have also got smaller. Unlikely to return.

We visited for dinner with two families recently. The first annoying thing was we couldn’t book a table despite there being more than 10 of us so we waited close to an hour when we were told
It would be 10mins. I suspect the table was given to another party.
The fried chicken was amazing, best I’ve ever had but that’s where it stopped. $10+ for a single taco. All meals were small and expensive. My husband left hungry so if you are going order lots!
The restaurant was so hot and jammed with people. After complaining several times about the heat they finally turned the aircon on and it was much more pleasant.
Staff seemed like they were lacking direction so I’m assuming whoever normally is in charge was away on the night we attended.
Not the best Mexican experience I’ve had sadly as it was referred to me by friends.

Everything we ordered was delicious and service was great. They have Tuesday 2 for 1 tacos but be aware the tacos are smaller than the normal and they cost around $10 each. I could easily have about 5 or 6.
We also ordered the prawn burrito for $14. It’s larger and delicious :)
