Saturday Eve just before theatre. Service a bit slow to get started but the staff were VERY busy and when our waitress arrived she was very apologetic and everything else went very smoothly. Also very good value. Broccoli, cauliflower, tacos and enchiladas all excellent

A good choice of menu. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. The venue was peaceful despite being in a busy part of the city. I would go again. Food was cooked to a high quality and well presented.

We arrived for a 4.45pm booking and it was pretty quiet, but filled up and was packed when we left at 7pm. Our waiter was very helpful in helping us to decide what to eat, and my friend has allergies so he was very helpful at making sure she didn't have anything she shouldn't. Food was good, and was served efficiently. We enjoyed our visit

Highly recommended 👏 -Great location! Along the riverside with beautiful view and vibrant atmosphere! -Very good food, everything slightly chilly (it’s Mexican) but give also some not chilly options. Advised dishes: 1.any tacos 2.cauliflowers 3.sweet potato & feta tortillas 4.churros with caramel (also nachos are very good) -cheap! -maybe a bit slow service cause the place is huge.. but gives you time to enjoy the company and atmosphere between corses

We made the mistake of frequenting a restaurant in a high-tourist area on a weekend. We were served the starter at the same time as my husband’s main course, which got cold by the time mine came. Wait staff were impossible to signal after the food was put down. Our very small table had three large starter plate and one empty glass by the end. There would probably have been more empty glasses, but it was impossible to order a second drink.
