    We had the Friday Fiesta set menu and, to be honest, I didn't think that it would be that good. Every single dish was amazing! The guacamole with the seasoned chips was spectacular. We tried all the meat tacos and they were very good; the quality of the tortilla was very good. The corn ribs were pretty good too (hard to mess them up). But the steak was the big surprise for me, not only because it was perfectly cooked with a birria sauce that didn't overpower the meat's flavour, but we got one steak each! Good value for money! And the churro dessert was quite good too, but a bit small. Cocktails are decent and standard price. Overall, I would go back again
