    We had the chicken tinga tacos and the carnitas for our main dish, guacamole to start and the corn cake for desert. Everything was amazing. The best item was the amazing carnitas which were perfectly carmelized and seasoned. Not to be missed really! The tacos also come with a couple sauces (chipotle and verde). Our server Ronald was very kind and on top of everything and we usually need frequent drink refills.

    Good prices with a lunch menu at 10.90€ but the food is very averae. I love the agua de Tamarindo but here it was awful, bitter at the bottom and tasteless at the top, probably made from a cheap syrup. The Choriqueso was good but the presentation made t difficuñt to eat. The burrito was dry, small and not really good. The dessert Platanito was tasty but they should change the presetation as it looked like poo 😄

    Highly recommend this down to earth Mexican restaurant. Being from North America, this is what I look for in a classic Mexican restaurant. I started with a classic margarita on the rocks which appeared to be made the real way without any mix. It tasted strong yet smooth, and wasn’t too sweet. For food I started with the guacamole which was perfect for my liking. It was thick, had large pieces of avocado (my favorite) and wasn’t “watered down” with watery tomatoes which is how I see a lot of places do it. While it was salted, it wasn’t overly salted either. I also ordered the Centro Pastor which is a platter to make six Al Pastor tacos with corn tortillas. The meat was fresh and flavorful. The whole meal definitely hit the spot for an uncomplicated dinner. One recommendation would be to add Shrimp Tacos.

    The food and the service was amazing. The host was very courteous , food was fresh and delicious. The Mariachi band that comes and plays at dinner time is very entertaining

    If you're in Madrid you have to come here at least once to try the amazing nachos and the "jarras" of margaritas. Suggested place, amazing quality food and staff. Highly recommend. Great prices.

    Great place with mexican food, but unfortunately noone spoke english. We Just used google translate together with the waitress. She was super kind and helpfull. We ate the daily menu, the food is great, super fresh and tasty. Would definately go there again to try some other dishes.

    We had the Guacamole and Centro tinga de Pollo. Both meals were unbevielably good! We loved it. Also, cocktails are only 5 euros from 17 to 21 every day which is another plus. Can only recommend to visit this lovely little place.

    Ordered Enchiladas from UberEats. Selected vegetarian and also requested vegetarian in the special requests just in case. I received... chicken enchiladas. Very disappointed and won’t be ordering from here again.
