Great night out, staff are fantastic, and food is delicious. Will be heading back to try the rest of the taco list. So nice to go out for dinner and have staff check in on you throughout the night, with smiles on their faces. Well done.

We weren’t sat next to a door in the cold and the door was continually left open. The waitress was overly attentive and took away glasses that were not empty and plates prior to our meal being finished. Food was amazing might be better in the summwr

It was a nice venue for a birthday party and the food and alcohol was served quickly however the staff seemed to have poor attitudes.

Quite possibly the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced, so disappointed, I was really looking forward to trying this place. Staff issues happen, but don’t take it out on the customer.

Great place, awesome decor and food is ace. Seemed a bit understaffed or like all the staff on the night were new so there was a lot of confusion and missed/incorrect orders. However they were very accommodating when we pointed this out :)

Service very poor. Waited 40 minutes for our order to be taken. Food was good but not worth the experience. Could see the waiter and kitchen staff doing shots while we were waiting for our mains. There was also a person in the kitchen, with gloves on, on her phone. Surely that defeats the purpose of wearing gloves.

Fun atmosphere. It’s a nice place for a date night or summer drinks with friends. The staff were attentive. The cocktails were really good and I’d recommend the fish taco.

Food was delicious but service was terrible. Booked a table 4 weeks ago via quandoo and was not given the option of where to sit (i.e outside or inside). It was cold and raining when we arrived, we were seated outside and told it was our fault for not booking a table inside. I understand that it is difficult to reseat a group of 4 people but it was the attitude of the staff towards us that was hard to get past.

Great atmosphere, food was yummy and our waitor was great. Up for some banter and gave good suggestions. Getting our food/drinks was a little slow but I think something happened with their computer systems and our order was missed. Rectified very fast was notified:)

Not enough staff on for the number of tables, food not the greatest assume this is due to number of orders being pumped into the kitchen at one time!

Nice casual atmosphere with friendly staff. Great selection of traditional mexican food and also a more modern selection of food choices. Full bar and outdoor dinning options available.

Ran out of Guacamole. Ran out of wine glasses. Ran out of ice. We had to wipe down our own seats that were wet from the rain. Not the best experience, but something to talk about...

Staff were very stressed and telling everyone about it. Not a great vibe due to this so we left. It’s christmas I understand but still need to keep their emotions to themselves

Great food ,(fish taco and pickled cactus were stand-outs), great service. A little noisy (empty bottles getting chucked into the bin as loudly as possible, clearly for the fun of it), but will go back & tell others.

Worst dinning experience, the rudest staff I've come across. They only had one decent waitress with commonsense and hospitality. Don't waste your time, it seems like they don't want customers in the restaurant anyway. Dine somewhere else.
