    This spot is perfect for a fun gathering with friends! The food was delicious, and the drinks were great. We had an amazing time and can't wait to come back. Although the service was a bit slow, we understood they were fully booked, and the staff did their best to accommodate us. The lively atmosphere made up for the wait, and we'd definitely recommend it!

    4.5/5 Stars Authentic Mexican flavors shine at this newcomer! Despite being open for only three weeks, the restaurant's passion for traditional cuisine is evident. Standout dishes include the soft tacos, quesadillas, fajitas, and incredible nachos. While the food is top-notch (solid 5/5), the service is still finding its footing. Some menu items were unavailable, and stocks ran out quickly. A minor tweak to serving starters separately would ensure dishes arrive hot and fresh. With a bit of refinement, this spot has huge potential. For now, foodies will appreciate the authentic flavors and generous portions. Can't wait to see how they improve!

    We went on a Friday night and it was extremely full which resulted in slow service. The cocktails and food took a very long time to arrive. Our waitress Aimee was lovely. It was loud and buzzing and good fun. The guacamole was excellent and the rest of the food was good but didn’t blow my socks off. I think this is going to be a great venue once they sort out their teething pains.

    great evening in an authentic Mexican venue. Superb and interesting Mexican food with perfect Margaritas on the side. Friendly staff who just need to learn the menu items a little better. Highly recommend for a fun evening

    This new Mexican right at the back of Kloof Street has everything you could ask for: excellent food, cool vibes, very attentive service - generously sized portions. We fell instantaneously in love with this place, have been twice since and can vouch for the quality of food, service and ambiance through which the love for detail makes a it truly a Mexican feast. We had from Empanads and Taquitos, over Burritos, Nachos, Taccos, Fajitas to Enchiladas and tried a variety of different Margherita, beers and wines, and all was exceptionally good. We definitely will be back for more. Happy to have this Mexican as a new edition to our other regular eateries.
