    Super disappointing experience. The food and service were average at best. The vibe and decor have so much potential to be amazing.

    Absolutely loved everything about to, it was certainly a proper Mexican flare in the heart of Jozi.

    The food quality and service were less good than when we came the first time a few months ago. We had had a memorable experience and this time it did not live up to our expectations. We were stunned to hear that there were no lemons left at 8.30 PM Likewise, the chocolate flan was finished by 9PM. For a Saturday evening when half the diners were still having their mains, it was a deception. Further, it was the only desert we could have given our food allergies and the contents of the other deserts Last but not least the cocktail quality was not consistent throughout the evening. The margaritas were not prepared the same way for our first and second round. The second round was VERY sweet compared to the first one and we sent these back. We were told the barman put more triple sec but never offered to change these glasses.

    The service of the staff was outstanding, from the door until we sat down. Our waiter Kenneth was amazing, had full knowledge of rhe menu. He made our dining experience exceptional. The restaurant itself, it's aesthetics we're stunning it felt like something out of a movie. The ambience was cosy and warm. My friend and I really had an amazing experience. Thank you The Library Food Club.
