    Absolutely delicious food. Home made and such good sauces too. Friendly staff and great cocktails. We will come back and eat the rest of the menu next time ! Thank you for your hospitality :)

    This place is wonderful on so many levels. The flavors of the dishes are so impressive - close your eyes and you’ll think you’re in Latin America. The presentation of the dishes and cocktails were out of this world… like miniature pieces of art. Not to mention the hospitality and the decor were outstanding. Truly a memorable lunch we had. This will be the first place we visit when I come back to Brugge!

    Mexican food elevated to a higher level. Presentation was perfect, food quality perfect, ingredients spot on, authentic salsas, salsa macha was just too good to be true, this place is a hidden gem in Brugges. Best Mexican food I had in years and I go to Mexico 3 times a year.

    Good and tasty food, prices are ok, not a large menu but is a wine bar. Is a small place with nice mexican decorations!! The service is a bit slow; Overall a good place!

    There are cheaper places, but worth a check if there is a live show!! And the famous view is very nearby.

    Lazy Sunday with wine and jazz! Is there anything better? If you are in Brugge during the weekend enjoy this wine bar's Lazy Sunday. The place is small and cozy, with nice wine options and a good menu. Attention was warm and I really did not fell like leaving.

    Very pleasant experience. The owner was friendly. Food was incredibly tasty. I like the mango sorbet with their special "salty & spicy" sauce. Not relevant but it reminds me of my own country where we eat mango with chili salt "muα»‘i α»›t". Only one point needs improvement is that better knife could be used. It was difficult to cut steak and bread nicely with the knife yesterday.

    We visited Saturday evening for a glass of wine and had a wonderful time! The wine list is well thought out, with tasty varieties from Mexico, Spain, South Africa for example. The barman was friendly and knowledgeable on the wines and regions. Thank you also to the local gentlemen for the entertaining and informative conversation for the evening!

    Great for wine lovers! Wonderfully knowledgeable owner, gives great tips, always several types of wine available per glass rather than per bottle, great atmosphere, live music on Sunday evenings. Very small, though, so not suitable for large groups.

    Best Brazilian food and snacks, bite with recommended wine from chef! Totally enjoying it :)

    Fantastic little wine bar serving great food. I went a couple of times and ended up coming back for the raclette which was spectacular. Worth a visit to be served by the lovely and attentive owner.

    The most delicious tapas that you can find in Bruges, it has a great service and the location is just perfect, great place to have a romantic evening or share with a small group of friends.

    Wow! What a find. A hidden Gem in Bruges. The service, hospitality and food is incredible. Could not have asked for more. We tried for 2 days to get a table and were lucky to find a table had canceled so they could accommodate us. The choice of drinks were spot on and similarly to the food, the drinks had a lot of attention to detail. The food came with additional sauces, all packed with flavor and variety. We left with very happy bellies and hearts and will certainly return when we are next in the city. Highly recommend for fans of Mexican food, Mezcal and great hospitality

    Absolutely loved this place. Fabulous experience. Can't claim to have eaten much Mexican, but these guys do it brilliantly. A modern take, with new & exciting flavours and great presentation. I should have had another cocktail!!

    Food is very good, very nicely presented. Nice atmosphere and great service from the owner. It's a family business, where everything is prepared with care, so don't expect your food to be ready fast. Don't go if you are hungry and cannot wait, have a drink, sit down and relax.

    The food was amazing! Atmosphere and venue was really nice and the waitress (think she was co owner as the gentlemen said his wife would serve us when we entered) was lovely and took the time to explain dishes to us. We ordered 4 small plates for 2 ppl an fit was plenty. 10/10

    Great Mexican place with a variety of options. Food comes tapas style. We had the discovery menu and it was more than enough for 2 people - everything was super fresh. Cocktails were nice, too. Highly recommend booking ahead as the place is rather small.

    Definitely one of the best culinary surprises that Brugge can offer. A restaurant with a colorful atmosphere, Latin music and excellent service that definitely make you feel at home. The food is delicious. You can get different tapas inspired by Mexican food. Quite good taste!!! Very good tacos. I would definitely like to come back. ...

    Perfect. A bit long wait for the food, but you forget that when it comes! Big drinks with the money as well 89 euros for a filling and pleasing dinner for 2 people. Incl wine and drink

  • 5/5 Paul V. 1 year ago on Google
    Perfect experience, the moment you enter you feel the warmth of mexican people. The music, kindness, food, drinks. Perfect. You share your dishes all together. Everything is a tastebom. Perfect mixture of tastes. We come again!

    A cosy small restaurant serving Mexican food. Dishes are very well presented and service is good. Cocktails are also decent.

    Service was kind and amazing, food was very, very tasty, but chicharrones were disappointing tbh, because I am used to a completely different kind, but maybe check before you order ;)

  • 5/5 James T. 2 years ago on Google
    From the very beginning of my interaction with this restaurant the owners were caring. We booked a table and requested to be outside and they fulfilled this request. When we got there we were seated and the chef and part owner helped us to chose a wine. His wife then helped us understand the menu and what to expect from portion sizes etc. Everything was very clear after that. We ordered 4 things. I am not going to describe each dish for you in detail because I don't want to ruin the surprise. You can tell that the chef has put care into every little detail. I spoke to the wife (part owner) and she told me one of the dishes takes a minimum of 4 days to prepare. It was my girlfriend and my anniversary and we could not have chosen a better place. Each dish was so exciting on the taste buds. The wine was also exquisite and sparked some good conversation. It was definitely worth the price as each dish is carefully prepared and absolutely mouth wateringly good. We are still thinking about it now. Thank you so much !
