The staff were slow, not attentive, seemed disinterested and poorly presented. We waited for service for over 15 mins, ordered drinks and dinner, and our dinner came before our drinks. We had to ask for our drinks. The magaritas tasted like syrup. Tables around us took ages to be cleared.
The food was average. The brisket taco was good though, and the fried chicken a large portion. Overall a disappointing dinner experience.

Fabulous service & great flavours.
Big selection to choose from. Staff very friendly and great at explaining some of the dishes that we were unsure of.

Dropped in without a booking, restaurant was busy and we were quickly seated. Staff were attentive and friendly. Sharing plates were served as they became available. Camarones would definitely be recommended. Estallido cauliflower was flavoursome but not very crispy. Chicken quesadilla was tasty. Fried chicken was a bit dry and unexciting. Nice atmosphere but not fantastic food.

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)
