    Very impressed with this Mexican. Simple enough menu but the food was excellent and generous portions. Busy and good lively atmosphere. Hands down would go here over the other Mexican restaurant across the street.

    Good meal on a Sunday evening. We had multiple soft tacos for starters, and we had the Chimichangas for mains, with extra guacamole on the side (a must). For drinks, I recommend the frozen margaritas, best in town! My only issues were, the chimichangas could do with a salsa or a sauce, they were a little dry, also the toilets were very dirty and not a great experience. We mentioned this to the staff.

    Having tried multiple Mexican Restaurants, I wouldn’t recommend this place if you are looking for authentic flavours. Having said that, the food is tasty despite. It’s just that it doesn’t satisfy the need of having something close to what is Mexican flavours. The staff are really friendly and very pleasant to talk to. They make an effort to make you feel comfortable.

    This is a small Mexican restaurant located in the heart of the Dublin town. The atmosphere and decoration are genuine from a real Mexican place and the food is tasty and delicious, one of the most genuinely Mexican dishes I’ve eaten in Dublin, as Mexican myself I may say that if you want to experience real Mexican food and atmosphere you should try a dinner here. It is known that on Tuesdays they have special tacos and are even better that the permanent menu

    Very nice atmosphere, very nice food but since it was my first time no one instructed me that I can ask for spicy salsa on Chimichanga and I saw later other people next to me eating with spicy salsa and I felt I couldn't experience the food in its full glory. But except that everything else was amazing and we liked the vibe the place has to offer.

    The food is a quite expensive but the quantity is good. The place doesn’t have many kinds of beers so if you like, you’ll drink just corona. The second floor is small and dark so I recommend you take a table in the first floor but you have to book for 3 people or more. The waiters are really kind and friendly, loved it

    Delicious food, we are obsessed. Feels like as close to authentic Mexican food that you can get in Dublin. The deep-fried icecream was yummy, something new for us! Great atmosphere and the decor is gorgeous. Can’t wait to come back.

    First things first; the margaritas are fantastic. Food is also damn tasty. It's not cheap but it's worth it. It was my first visit and I'll definitely be going back. That's the main thing, right?

    Wow so much better than I anticipated! Everything was perfect, from me forgetting to say "no salt on my margarita" to finding out that they're rimmed with sugar anyway, getting served a bottle of water without asking, and the food coming down in record time. Can't wait to return with my friends!

    Got a booking here on Saturday evening - the only Mexican in the whole of Dublin I could book! Very happy with my choice. Had the sharer starter between 2, it was huge! Mains were lovely. Food was hot and came out within a good time! Deep fried ice cream for dessert was beautiful! Only let down for me was a lack of choice for drinks, only margaritas available for cocktails!

    Friendly staff sat us without reservations, great food. My daughter said best Mexican food she has had.

  • 1/5 Jonathan C. 1 year ago on Google
    Average if even, love Mexican food. They serve Eddie rocket's cheese sauce on their tiny portion of nachos. The fajitias were also tiny portion and dipping cheese sauce like who puts that on quality Mexican. Cocktails limited to margaritas and awful, desert some deep fried rock solid ice cream clearly days out. Worst Mexican by far u have ever had in Dublin. Crazy thing was although upstairs was closed the section open was kinda busy which made no sense to our group who all agreed it wasn't a good meal and needs a major refit.

    Frozen margarettias were lovely. Food was just fine. Friend found the fish tacos bland, neither of us like the potato bravas and we both thought cheese nachos were only OK. Staff great, efficent and friendly. Would try somewhere else next time.

    Have been here before and we love this place! The atmosphere is intimate and cosy. I love the lights and decor. Food portions are amazing and generous. Margaritas were unreal!!! Pricing is decent :) Staff are lovely and friendly - manager should be proud! Bathrooms are well looked after, generally clean, well presented place. Can't wait to be back next time!!

    Great place for Mexican food in the heart of Dublin! Overall was happy with the food. It tasted fresh, delicious and somewhat similar to Tex Mex style. The burritos are pretty large and filling. Margaritas are nice too and my friend enjoyed a spicy one though it's not on the menu 🌶️ but maybe it should be! The only thing to pay attention to is that for larger groups there is a mandatory service fee.

    The food here is amazing we had a sharing platter for starter it was delicious only thing that was left on the plate were 8 bones. For mains we had A pork burrito, Chicken Fajita, Chicken enchilada and Chili beef Flauta with a side of patatas bravas so so good . Margaritas were amazing and the staff were so friendly and efficient can't wait to go back.
