Two of us had chicken which was boiled not fried so lacked texture and taste - disappointing. The other two in the group had beef and pork - very tasty and full of flavour. Service was very good however one member of staff didn't ever smile.

we had a great time here, as always. Our server was new to her role and could not have been more helpful despite our rather unusual requests. I wish I could have got her name so I could give her the credit she deserves! Couldn't have been more kind and attentive.

Fabulous meal! Food was delicious, staff friendly and fast service. Loved the decor and the authentic atmosphere. Recommended to a family on our way out who were looking in the window and they decided to go in, I'm sure they weren't disappointed!

All staff we met were knowledgeable and helpful. I am glad we were eating downstairs, we had a short wait for our table and the atmosphere upstairs was not nearly as good.

Excellent menu - everything you'd expect from a Mexican restaurant and a little bit more. Food was delicious and the service superb. Only thing lacking was a little bit of atmosphere. Perhaps some more lively music would help. But overall, would highly recommend.

Great for Gluten Free They have a very good allergens folder so, for me, it’s clear what contains gluten/what (I’m coeliac). I went for the ‘Pechuga de Pollo’ with the chipotle sauce. Spiced it up with the very hot sauce that they sell as a side. Food came piping hot. I’m never sure about how they use their fryers (cross contamination if they only have one and fry everything in it) – and this time I didn’t ask, but didn’t need to. Margaritas tasted a bit weak – too much lime juice. Red wine was really good, and they have Corona (which, having fewer than 20ppm, is gluten free – hooray!) Service was really good, but we were there early (6:45pm). Place got really packed by 7:30pm.

I’ve been before and have never had this issue of hot plate with only half of the food being hot and the other half cold. Rice and Beans hot, Enchiladas cold. I assume it was where the plate was under the warmer at the pass. Everything else was just lovely.
