    This is the definitive mexican place in Uppsala. The food is top notch with a genuine mexican flavour. The service is excellent, both professional and very welcoming. However it is the drinks that take this joint to a whole other level. Best Margarita in Sweden, hands off! And also a very good selection of Mescals . This is THE place to visit when looking for a fine dining experience. Could not recommend it enough!

    Tastes store bought and very little. Drinks taste like soda. Service was bad and hoooorribly slow. I had to scavenge the restaurant myself to even get a napkin.

    The drinks were terrible, the food portions tiny and overpriced, the waitress started to remove our plates when we were still eating as if she was hurrying Us to leave. We had planned to stay drinking but we bounced to the next place with better service. I mean she wasn’t rude, just has no idea on how to wait a table. At least the tortillas taste real and you get points for that

    Very good food. Not what some would think of as "authentic" mexican. But it is similar to what you might find in a fancy restaurant in a mexican city.

    The food is nothing like taquerias in California. I am not even sure what the sprinkle things were on top of my tacos which were just OK. The waitress was very nice and service was good, but the place was seriously depressing inside. People would look thorough the windows, see it was empty and the lights were very very dim and then they’d walk away.

    The food was great and the drinks were tasty. There wasn't a lot of booze in the cocktails, though.

    Edit: After coming back here a couple more times, I found the food not to necessarily be consistent in quality. It's better sometimes than others. Maybe for lunch it wasn't quite as nice. The mushroom tacos are actually probably my favorite, which is funny considering normally I'm a meat guy. The Elote's this second time barely had any cheese or mayo and was mostly just corn. When it's good though, it's good. I don't want this place to go away. I'm from California and grew up right next to Mexico, so I've been eating good Mexican food my whole life. This is the best Mexican food in Uppsala! It depends on who you ask and where they're from for people to say what is "authentic" Mexican food, but either way the food here is really tasty. The staff was friendly and the drinks all paired well for being a Mexican restaurant. And they had Elote's Mexican Street corn. One of my favorites! Will be back again whenever I'm craving some Mexican food

    The best tasteless tacos ever! If you want watery sauce and spiceless habanero, this is your place. And if u are unlucky, you don't get hair on your tacos. Wow!

    The best Mexican food in a long time and the only place in Sweden where you can find tequila that tastes good. Great service from staff that apparently really love their job (and have a sense of humor). Love the place.

    As someone who comes from a city that’s particularly snobby about their Mexican food, I think this place was surprisingly tasty! There are a wide variety of taco options, each with decent flavors, though mild on the spice. While many dishes are more fusion instead of traditional, the food still contains familiar and delicious flavors, and the tacos are still better than most Mexican places in Stockholm. I think if the place was livened up with a bit more music and decoration outside, they might bring in more people. But all in all, definitely would recommend!
