    It is a nice restaurant they have many vegetarian food options available 😋. Their chimichanga is delicious 😋 and must try. They also have seating at basement which is spacious and decorated by an Mexican artist 🎨. Awesome music in background always plays and it is a budget friendly place 😄

    The music was great and the staff were friendly - however I do feel for them since the restaurant felt very understaffed especially during their busy hours. The basement dining area was humid and getting service for things like water was tough even after asking multiple times. The food had great portion sizes (huge) but was dry and almost all 3 dishes ordered felt either microwaved or very stale and reheated. The restroom was also lacking in terms of maintenance, and there was quite a buildup from the amount of people using it due to not being able to flush.

    The vibe of the restaurant pulled us. Food and ambiance was good. Deep fried ice creams was very unique.

    Tacos meat was cold but very meaty + Chimichangas was hot and tasty + Dips are not free + Rye River beer was okay + No hand sanitizer was available + Music is too loud

    The food is amazing - very filling and tasty with lots of vegan options. The vibe is great too- It just desperately needs a deep clean.. tables, walls, corners, floors... I understand the table is plywood but there were stains and it feels unhygienic.. maybe they could replace these? Also the shared toilets feel they need a deep clean.. I found myself trying not to touch any of the surfaces in there.

    Potions have a good size. Mojito seems like something is missing,more alcohol maybe. We had, tacos Al pastor (good), chimichangas, and nachos. Started came together with the other plates.

    Small place, but fun atmosphere! Plenty of vegetarian options to choose from. We enjoyed margaritas, enchiladas, "The largest chimichanga in Ireland", and grand nachos. The fried plantain and soya chili fillings were delicious! Service was friendly and our party of 9 had a great meal!

    I got the plantain enfrijoladas and they were SO GOOD. Probably the best food I had during my time in Dublin. There are lots of vegetarian and vegan options here for people who need it! And plenty of meat, too.

    Although all the places are quite full on Friday, we really wanted to try mexican food, so this was worth the wait. Side note: portion size is enormous and luckily we didn’t order appetisers, because this burrito takes so much time to eat. Burrito was tasty and medium salsa can be quite spicy for some people 😂

    Pretty good nachos and the sizzling fajitas were also pretty decent. Wasn’t blown away tho, so not more than 4 stars. But a very pretty atmosphere and great decoration. A very picturesque restaurant.

    The restaurant is well located, the food is very good and the portions are very generous! We took our leftovers with us and that’s always a good sign. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere in the restaurant in general is really nice.

    Dined at this restaurant twice and disappointed each time with food making me leave with half the food eaten. I ordered ribs that were very dry and still had the back skin on, which made it hard to eat. The chips were fine. Secondly I ordered a burrito for 11 euro which had little meat(pulled pork) that was also dry. Mostly beans and cheese. The staff are nice, alongside the small restaurant which had good music and decorated up. Unlikely to return when there are better Mexican restaurants in Dublin.

    Really authentic Mexican food. If you cannot tolerate spice say so because even the mild spice was spicy to me 😅 I am not a spice eater, though. Portions are big and filling; I highly recommend sharing them.

    Really tasty food! Burritos are delicious and love the healthier plantain chips and other options. Great gauc too! Just wish more came in the side portion. Burrito really blew us away with how delicious it was.. you gotta try it.

    The food was absolutely gorgeous and they accommodated the size of our group quite well. However because we were a very large group, many orders got mixed up and some people got their food 3 hours after ordering it. So I would probably suggest going in a group of up to 10 people. But overall food was so good the wait was worth it. Staff was very understanding and very helpful and we got the service fee off the bill because of the wait. So for sure would do it again.

    Very enjoyable. The extra spicy IS extra spicy. One man run show when we went so expect slow service, he didn't have much time to talk. But it was delicious!

  • 2/5 Justine K. 10 months ago on Google
    Service was good, but in my opinion it is below average as far as Mexican food goes. Ordered the enfrijoladas. The beef was tough and chewy which I haven’t encountered in any other Mexican restaurant that I have eaten at. It’s usually soft, and would melt in your mouth. It wasn’t very flavourful either. The description of the dish on their menu sounded incredible. When it arrived at the table it was missing some of the ingredients, no plantain, no queso and no coriander. We were in a rush to get to a concert so just ate and left. Would not return.

    I understand they have a shortage of staff and a lot of stress but the service is very slow and the waiter does not really listen to you. I got my chimichanga wrong. The taste is good. Portions depends on what you order. Great margaritas.

    Amazing food, atmosphere, and service, just everything is amazing ! First time coming to Dublin and first place I’ve eaten since arriving, no disappointment whatsoever! Best Mexican food I’ve had!

  • 5/5 Jitka R. 4 months ago on Google
    My favorite tacos 🌮.. Couldn’t decide on whether beef or chicken so I got both. My friend got Pork tacos.. both yummy. margaritas are nice but couldn’t really feel the alcohol in them 😅😅😅

  • 4/5 saumya m. 5 months ago on Google
    Loved every dish I tried in this place 😍 I have already been here multiple times as I find this spot trustworthy enough to get my friends to try it too. Have tried their plain flour, grande chicken nachos, buritto bowl, chicken wings etc. I'm not a big fan of the drinks they have on the menu, but highly recommend the food.

    Got the biggest chimichonga and they weren't kidding! Was delicious and massive. The 1 litre cocktails tasty and fresh.

  • 4/5 Michaël Van K. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing food! Best taco’s I ever had. Still had to wait some time before getting them, but very much worth it!!

  • 5/5 Kevin J. 2 years ago on Google

    This place has to be my favorite in Dublin. Love the vibes, the food, the customer service. Been here so many times and it never disappoints. Loving it guys ! Thanks so much ♥️

  • 5/5 Eugene J. 3 years ago on Google
    Oh i love this place. Its unassuming outside, yet welcoming inside. I love the ambiance, the bar and the wall decors are funk. The food are reasonably priced. Food are tasty and my cravings for mexican food were satisfied. Warm food and freshly made. The plantain chips were superb. The staff is amazing, i went there lunch time but it was almost empty. This place deserves more patron. Id def be going back for more.

    Random stop but had delicious starters. The strawberry and Passion fruit margaritas were delicious.

  • 3/5 Colleen B. 1 year ago on Google
    Not particularly Mexican (stating this as an American who enjoys Tex Mex and proper Mexican regularly)... but the interpretation was okay. Enjoyed my nachos, though I had ordered them with corn chips but received flour chips. They were really busy and I didn't mind the mix up... but the flour chips did make the dish soggy. I thought the guacamole was great. We also got the burrito. It was more rice and beans than anything else and was heavily seasoned with curry... not much of a Mexican spice at all.. a little off-putting to me, but maybe others will enjoy it. I liked that they had good wine options. Cool space. Cramped quarters but it is a small restaurant. Service was wonderful even though they were quite busy

    Margaritas are 10/10 and really good price. This is my new go to Mexican restaurant. Staff are amazing too!

  • 4/5 Kevin M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great Mexican meal and spectacular margaritas. Kind of tough to find in Ireland. And spicy too! They offer a variety of salsa. Most food in Ireland will not be very spicy even if labeled as so, but this had a kick. Service was good and didn’t wait too long for food. Depending on the time of day, if possible I would suggest sitting upstairs. We sat downstairs, but vibe upstairs seemed more exciting and energized.
