The food is great, really delicious tacos... all the tacos! The vibe is cool, if not a little loud, although it was full so you have to expect that. Staff weren't overly accommodating though... best pop next door to the studio for some yoga to get in a calm frame of mind before starting work perhaps?!? Great food can only be a means to forgive staff with attitude once, so I'd visit again to see if the team vibe is more uplifted, if not, there are plenty of other options in the area

Delicious food, a little more than I’d usually pay (at Los Hermanos). Average service - took a while to get noticed just for a drink order. Server was also quite brash with my friend, not a good experience overall.

Mixture of bar and cafe with Latin music, mescal aplenty and snacky food. Don't come for an intimate date but a good venue to catch up with friends. Try the watermelom margherita with chilli salt - a must.

It was very noisy, but they turned the music down. The key issue is that their toilets are outside and we were the table right in front of the door. It was freezing all night. It may have been better if we'd actually been outside, bc then we would have had a heater. We had our coats on and over our knees and wrapped around our legs. The food was good, but don't expect Tex-Mex - no nachos. They have chips and guacamole. Very limited menu in comparison to other Mexican restaurants I've been to. But good staff, food was pretty tasty. It may be nice in summer on the rooftop. The cantina is just old shipping crates.

You let people reserve tables and then when we arrive (after calling ahead to let you know we’d be 5 minutes late) you sit us outside. In the middle of winter. You could have mentioned this to ya prior to us driving 40 minutes to get there. It was less than 10° outside , why would we want to sit out there after reserving a table ? Don’t be greedy, just say you are booked out.

I was very disappointed with the restaurant as I made a reservation 3 weeks ago, for my sons birthday- on confirming a day before I was told I would be inside . When I got there we were put outside, it was a very cold night and I was given an explanation that they had a last minute booking for twenty so there was no room inside for our table of 5! the service was poor as we were outside! Will no be going there again!!

I booked for 2 in advance but we we’re seated on a tiny table behind a large group of noisy diners when the restaurant was empty. I asked to be moved to somewhere quieter and were relocated to an even smaller table. Not really happy with the dining experience.
