Ambiance générale très agréable.
Nous avons pris l'expérience à partager, nous avons eu assez de nourriture & avons pu goûter à plein de chose.
Si vous recherchez une cuisine mexicaine authentique ce n'est peut-être pas exactement ça, mais c'est original & très bien!!

Juan was wonderful. From the moment we arrived, he made us feel genuinely welcomed with his warm & attentive approach. His suggestions were spot-on, & the service was impressively quick-from exquisite appetizers to beautifully prepared meals.

The quality of the food was nothing short of sensational. Combined with a great ambiance & excellent service throughout, it made for a memorable experience.

Salud to Juan once again-thank you so very much! 🍷✨

The food is truly spectacular, full of flavor & clearly made with care & creativity.

On top of that, the atmosphere is vibrant, energetic, & genuinely positive - it feels like a celebration the moment you walk in.

Perfect for a fun night out, great food, & even better vibes.

Highly recommend 😄

Last night i was extremely disappointed with my order. I ordered nachos & it was served with no tortilla chips but 5 dumplings with Mexican toppings. When i asked the waitress what was the reasoning for this she advised this restaurant is Asian fusion with Mexican. No where on the menu did it mention this or anywhere in the restaurant. Husband ordered 3 dips then when they were delivered to the table was advised if you want tortilla chips to go with the dip this will also cost extra. Not impressed & will needless to say will not be visiting this restaurant again.

Last note we had a 6 pm reservation & i called ahead to say we were running late at 5.30pm & if i could change our reservation to 6.15pm. Was advised sorry we only take reservations for every half hour therefore we could only have 6.30pm. No problem however when we arrived there were only 2 tables occupied, restaurant nearly empty. Again not impressed with the customer service. This was unnecessary. Totally understand if they were busy however no I know why the restaurant had barely any customers inside.

Good meal with my two young kids. The staff were friendly & the food excellent. Many different flavours & textures, which I love. This includes some creative interpretation of nachos & tacos which made it fun. Adult portions are on the smaller side, so if you're hungry, probably order two sets of two tacos (you can't mix & match). My only (very minor) complaint is that the dishes came very quickly, before we could even put a dent in the appetizers. Probably worth asking them to hold the mains until you're done if that's how you like to eat. Definitely recommend!
