I won't go again! I had fried chicken which was as tough as old boots. It was served with a sauce and nothing else - no salad or fries or anything. My husband had a prawn taco which was the size you would serve to a 3year old. There were 2 prawns! Neither of us finished our meal because it was so awful.

We enjoyed all the tastes and meals presented. Thought the margaritas were excellent and enjoyed our evening.
Service was great.
One issue all four of us noticed was...all surfaces felt tacky / sticky eg the table tops.
Hopefully that can be addressed so I will be allowed to return. (Women really notice these things)

Great little place, unfortunately you can’t reserve a table so it’s pot luck. We struck lucky as a table freed up as we arrived. Return visit after four years but it’s still the same standard. Tasty food and good service. Lots of parking nearby. Will definitely revisit next time we’re in town.

This place was busy but lacked appeal. The service was oaky but the food was very average. Won't be back.

Great Mexican restaurant in Havelock North. You must book ahead! Or be lucky and fluke it but could cause disappointment.
Food was delicious, service amazing.
