    Very tasty Mexican/Latin American food! The sharing menus give you a sample of everything. The restaurant is quite small, but it is vibrant and colorful. Lively Spanish music plays in the background. There are also some interesting French posters on the walls, with inspirational quotes.

    We had an amazing experience here. The food was delicious, authentic latino food. The sizes were generous, and the price was very good. The staff was super friendly and the place very clean. Would definitely recommend and come back if we visit Lyon again!

    This place was just ok for me. The nachos and fries were subpar. The empanadas amd tacos were ok. In my opinion the prices were just too high to justify the food quality.

    It was quite busy since it was a holiday and the staff were realistic with the wait time which I appreciated. Ordered the Ecuador 🇪🇨 shrimp 🍤 ceviche which was good, comes with a salad and crunchy fries. The QR code to pay is quick and convenient with Apple Pay.

    Nice latino ambianced corner. Food platters are a less better option than individual dishes. Nice ceviviche, but comes with only too many fries instead of the variety of other options available on the menu. Nice cocktails dow.

    We went there around 8 pm when there weren't any other available places where to eat and drink in the area. We were sceptical but in the end, we liked the place and food very much. The food is very delicious and awesome companion mostly with beer rather than sangria. :) I wish if there were better beer choices, and at least one craft beer. The 4-star atmosphere experience is because there are no coat/jacket hangers and we had to wonder where to leave our jackets, so we had to sit on them - you can just install small hangers above the tables. It wasn't warm and gladly there was a small heater nearby.

    The bar looks great, it’s a great environment and the staff is very friendly. But the food is quite far from authentic. I’m from South America and have tried many of the foods in the menu before. The seasoning is not quite right for many of the dishes. I was even disappointed with the tacos. I would go back for the drinks, but definitely not for the food.

    Very authentic, delicious tacos and nachos…with big tasty portions - I’ll definitely recommend

  • 5/5 Dhwani J. 1 year ago on Google
    Amazing Latin American food. They have mix of Mexican, Chile, Argentinian, Peruvian and Cuban food! It’s perfect for a soirée to have a drink and to eat your hearts out. The portions is huge for the price to pay which is fantastic and you get to choose either meals to share or individual portions. A must try.

    Nice place but not that nice of an attitude. Felt rather unwelcoming if you visit during the day and want something to drink. Unfortunate. Can't judge about the food because we didn't order any.

    Had dinner at El Chivito, Lyon. The empanadas were fantastic. The tacos were also very good. An order of food for two people was quite large. The staff were very friendly; they speak speak Spanish, French and English.

    The food is fantastic, best Latino food I’ve ever had. Everything is fresh and they have good pricing. The staff is very friendly. Personally I don’t really enjoy the seats, it’s only barstools and high tables, but if you don’t mind that you should definitely try it out!

    Nice atmosphere and awesome steak cooked South American style. Reservations are available but not required. Friendly staff.

    Great Mexican American food place! We took the sharing meal, some items were great and some not so impressive. Over all, the place has good music and vibe.
