    unfortunately. this is not mexican food, this is a nightmare. how could guacamole be ruined? to taste it is something with mayonnaise, the legend of Mexican cuisine (tacos al pastor) is just awful. I'm sorry, very sorry. this place is not worth your time. expensive! very expensive. never again. Mango-margarita - good, barmen respect❤️

    I visited the restaurant on a Monday night, mostly because on Mondays they offer a margarita with your order. I had cauliflower tacos, guacamole and tried the new shrimp tacos. The guacamole tasted store bought, but it wasn’t bad. The shrimp tacos were good, but the cauliflower tacos were a huge disappointment. The desert was the La Bomba, which was alright, but I’m sure you can find better alternatives for the price. Overall, if you want a quick bite and there’s nothing around, this will do, but don’t go out of your way to visit it.

    The menu has been changed to something plain and tasteless. Before there were tasty dishes that you couldn’t find in any other Mexican restaurant. Today, this restaurant doesn’t distinguish itself from the crowd. It lost its competitive advantage.

    Authentic Mexican, a little on the pricey side, but good eating! We keep going back to the Taco Loco dish. It's better value for the money. For me I would have given 5 stars if prices were a little cheaper.

    Great service, friendly staff. The food and drinks could be better. Not so tasty as the Mexican food is generally.

    Gréât location by the beach. Go for drinks but don’t bother to eat food. It’s taste less and out of flavour. Quite expensive in general but not worth the visit, time and money.

    The food is a bit pricey for the quality. However the view and thr decor make up for it. They have some vegetarian options, not that many though. The waiters were really nice with us, and the place was clean.

  • 5/5 João P. 2 years ago on Google
    There are two queues to enter: with and without reservation. Although the queues are long, the staff accommodates also the people on the no-reservation queue as they set aside some space in the restaurante for them and they do a fair 3:1 inbound groups. Good food. Efficient staff.

  • 5/5 Sarah Krumbeck (. 1 year ago on Google
    I love it! Super nice service. Tbh if you speak portuguese even better cause they were a little shy to approach us since we tried to speak English. Next time I'll have improved my portuguese 😊👍🏾 The ambience is really nice. The food is super yummy. And filling. The margaritas amazing. Definitely worth going. I will becone a regular for sure. 🌮

  • 5/5 Ricardo C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very lovely experience. Went with my family and was a great lunch. It's not a very cheap restaurant but its worth it. Different dishes and all were good. The margaritas also are very nice, with and without alcohol. Definitely is a place to go again. I reserved a table before going there. Sometimes is necessary. We stayed indoors but outside is very pleasant when the weather is nice

  • 4/5 Ricardo A. 1 year ago on Google
    Great space, very pleasant. The food, drink and service are good.

  • 4/5 João L. 1 year ago on Google
    It is a very nice and charming place to dinner. Although it's a bit expensive and the live music's just to loud, it makes hard to chat.

  • 4/5 Justine C. 8 months ago on Google
    Lovely spot by the shore. Great outside eating area. Very helpful young waiter who did his best to help us understand the menu. The sharing nachos were delicious as were the margaritas not sure if there was any alcohol in them but ....very busy so attention from staff could have been better. Mains arrived with no cutlery which we had to chase down. Otherwise top notch.

  • 4/5 Yassmine Abd e. 8 months ago on Google
    It is nice original mexicano restaurant Was expecting more to be hones but overall it is nice experience Most of the plates have pork Which limits the options for those who don’t eat it Prices above average

  • 4/5 Elaine 4 months ago on Google
    The food was very nice, especially the taco roasted meat gringas!! The race shrimp was a bit dry… Unfortunately the staff can’t speak English. But the Ambiente seemed very authentic and cute. Also the location had a nice view but it was a bit offsite.

  • 5/5 Baiba B. 10 months ago on Google
    Looks like the restaurant changed the menu, this time food was not as good as expected, so it was a bit of disappointment. Sangria as good as usual -light and tasty ☺️ Atmosphere and service excellent.

  • 5/5 E D. 9 months ago on Google
    Stumbled upon this place as it was the only one near the beach so basically our only option. It did not disappoint. Honestly some of the best Mexican I’ve had. Great views and atmosphere. Margherita’s were tasty but to be critical maybe just slightly watery. Overall a fantastic meal with refreshing cocktails. If I’m ever back in the area I’ll be back here for sure. Definitely recommend. Great prices as well

  • 4/5 Mysti S. 10 months ago on Google
    The margaritas are very refreshing! The salsa and tortilla chips are tasty. The menu 2 gave much variety. The pan de elote was very good: creamy, crispy, sweet, and moist corn cake. Al pastor tacos tasted great with the pineapple on top and we loved that it came with guacamole. Nachos tasted of tomatillos but the cheese was low quality.

  • 5/5 Dominik A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very great place and absolutely insane location with fantastic view at the sea. Food was totally fine and staff was friendly. Prices were ok, if you consider the location.

  • 5/5 Danny M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great location, amazing Margaritas (especially Strawberry and Maracuja) and that for a really fair price, so give it a try. For my taste the food is quite good, no words against, but usually missing a bit spices. The stuff is friendly but needs some time to appear at the table once gone.

  • 5/5 Nicolás M. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing Margaritas, abundant food, loyal atmosphere with sights to the sea, varied food with vegan and gluten free options. Most dishes are for sharing. 11/10, Will definitely come again.

  • 3/5 Sarah M. 1 year ago on Google
    Best pico de gallo I’ve ever had… super yummy margaritas… I wasn’t a fan of the chorizo quesadilla… loved the jalapeño poppers they were 10/10. We were too full to have dessert. Nice ambience & lighting. I had to physically move forward in my chair several times though to accommodate waiters walking past way too close to me which was annoying & unnecessary as there was plenty of room for them to get by normally. Also a couple of the waiters had a huge staring problem which they should work on… not good to make guests uncomfortable.

  • 5/5 Débora K. 11 months ago on Google
    The amazing margaritas are what made us go there, and we ended up having dinner there. I was quite surprised by the enhance that the food took, I already had had meals there, which I didn't thought were nothing special, but yesterday, the food was really good. And even the service got better, faster and nice.

  • 2/5 Paul R. 1 year ago on Google
    The entries were good, but we the main dishes were a joke. Also, totally unjustified high prices for the doses served. However, the decor was nice and the service was efficient. The live music is a nice touch, but clearly too loud.

  • 2/5 Ellinor W. 1 year ago on Google
    Nicely decorated and friendly staff, food just ok. The fact that we were approached within 1 minute after receiving our coffee/tea with the ticket for the bill (you pay at the exit) and told that “your time is up now” felt less friendly. Imagine if we’d have chosen desserts, would they have given them to us in a doggy bag?! 🤣

  • 5/5 David P. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice restaurant, near the sea with great Mexican food. The staff is pleasant and efficient. Loved the decoration. Super cozy.

  • 1/5 Daniel W. 1 year ago on Google
    The service was good but the fajitas arrived cold with a meagre 2 tiny tortilla which was not enough for even a third of the meat. We had to ask for more and another 2 arrived which were charged at a further 1.60, while not much these were tiny and just felt rather an insult. The tortillas arrived in mangled plastic containers warning of their hot contents, they were at best luke warm. The black beans had clearly been sitting on the plate for quite some time to the point where they had dried up leaving an outline of where their hydrated prior outline once was. The meat was extremely oily and overall the experience one I would chose not to repeat.

  • 3/5 Valentina T. 1 year ago on Google
    For me it was one more Mexican restaurant in Lisbon, nothing special. I ordered the Tacos del Pastor which for me needed a bit more seasoning, it was pretty average. However, I didn’t get to try the margaritas which seemed to be delicious. I have no complaints about the staff, they were incredibly nice to us.

    (Translated by Google) Spectacular space and with the privilege of being located next to Algés beach. Margarita is a must. The food is satisfying and the service is good. In this context, it is possible to improve as prices are high. (Original) Espaço espetacular e com o privilégio de situar-se junto à praia de Algés. A Margarita é imperdível.

    (Translated by Google) It was the first time and it was not surprising. Service little interested and food made with little love. Shrimp ceviche without acid and plenty of tomato for reduced amount of shrimp, soft fries with no flavor, finally the experience. Not to repeat. (Original) Foi a primeira vez e não supreendeu. Atendimento pouco interessado e comida confecionada com pouco amor. Ceviche de camarão sem ácido e bastante tomate para quantidade de camarão reduzida, batatas fritas moles sem sabor, enfim fica a experiência. A não repetir.

  • 1/5 Alicia R. 3 years ago on Google
    As most reviews say - service is extremely slow. We had to ask for our starter after over 30 minutes wait, it turned out they had given our started to a different table by mistake . No apology for that was ever given. We had the kids with us and we had to chase them to bring the ice cream which is part of the kids menu. No apology either just the typical unfriendly “oh sim”. No classic margaritas in the menu which links back to the food - fast food for the wrong price. Won’t be going again! Too expensive for what it is. The front lady was extremely unfriendly - was making faces because we asked for a chair to put our coats (3 adults and 2 children in a 4 ppl table) the only good thing is the view.
