    We came across this place accidentally beacuse it was raining cats and dogs in Thessaloniki. 😂 We didnt have knowledge about this place before and we took a shot. Inside environment is pretty great, we had a feeling that we were in Mexico in some authentic restaurant. We ordered a daily menu for 2 persons and it costed 35 euros. The food came in five sequences. First came nachos with two sauces, next came quesadillas with chese, chilli con carne and big tortilla cone with salad inside. At that moment we were pretty full and then it came... Fresh fajitas de pollo flaimingly hot from the oven with 8 mini tortillas and toppings aside. Also we got fresh sangria for drink included in the price. It was amazing, the portions are enourmous and everything was so tasty. I would recommend this place to anyone coming to Thessaloniki. It was one of the best decisions for me and girlfriend to come to this place. 5/5 stars

    Very good food quality and big portions - the chefs there know what their doing with flavors! They really know their kitchen. The location of the restaurant is also very nice, and the tables outside are so comfortable, giving a summery felling (: I suggest you book a table before going, because otherwise there is a high possibility you wait in line to sit. There are cool combos to get with your friends, combining different dishes. I tried Tacos. Awesome ♡

    Disappointing service. After being recommended a dish instead of the one I chose, which was unavailable, I found that it was actually for two persons. I had not been informed of this when it was recommended and therefore had no choice but to waste the food as I was not allowed to bring it to my hotel room. When I raised the fact that I'd been recommended a dish for two people but had not been informed of this when I ordered it, the restaurant refused to take any responsibility for this and basically told me I could take the remaining food with me. I was very unhappy about the waste of food and lack of responsibility for the mis/lack of information given me.

    Amazing place to have something for everyone's taste. If you like to watch people walking around try sitting outside. If you want to use the air-conditioned inside avoiding the heat you do that as well. Both options are correct. The food is tasty and the presentation of every dish is mouthwatering. You will find youself ordering something then seeing the waiter bringing something to another table leaving you wanting to try what they are having as well. Staff is really helpful, quick, precise and friendly. Really recommend this place. You will not be dissapointed.

    Well, you know how I feel about Mexican food outside of north America. Never do it. But I always try just to see - maybe this one is the place. Sadly no, tho this is better than many. The atmosphere is very good - it has the right vibe. and they put chips & salsa on the table. They have guacamole & it was not bad. But the salsa tastes like tomato sauce, and the guac was smooth & salty. Tortillas were flour & store kind. Pastor was not the right kind of spicy (not very spicy actually) & fruit didn't pop. Flavors are wrong. But if their margaritas are good & you have to have a tortilla chip, this is probably the best you can hope for in Europe.

    Maybe the food in the local it’s ok but delivery it’s so bad. Guacamole bad and the rest with no salt. 👎🏽

    This place is a great choice for Mexican food! The verity of dishes it has is amazing! Every kind of Mexican dish you can think of, they have it! As for the taste, they are pretty good and tasty, the portions are a little smaller than I want them though. Apart from the Mexican dishes, the menu has a great veriety of cocktails. It is a little bit pricey but I think it is worth a try.

    One of my absolute favourites in Thessaloniki. Good food, quick service and the people working there are very friendly!

  • 5/5 Vasiliki C. 1 year ago on Google
    Very tasty menu even if Mexican isn't your thing, there are choices that are not spicy. I have eaten a few times but recently I tried the siesta menu and it was incredible. I loved the salad even though I don't normally like lettuce. The fajitas were really tasty and we couldn't eat them all. We were no longer hungry so we took the rest home, we didn't want the food to go to waste. The white sauce is something I would love to have in my every day diet. The lemonade is refreshing and the dessert was nice.

    I recently dined at this Mexican restaurant in Thessaloniki, and it's definitely a contender for the title of the best. The authentic flavors of the dishes were impressive, and the menu offered a good variety. I don't like that the tables outside are on the sidewalk. It's also a bit overpriced. It definitely has room for improvement

👍👍 Possibly one of the best restaurants I've been to around Europe. This is couple of traditional Greek traditional dishes at its best, especially if you're avoiding meat.

👍 Good burgers & beer, great fries. We tried the Boss Burger and Jalapeños Burger and were pleased with both. The Jalapeños Burger had a nice kick, I would ask for extra jalapeños if I were to order it again. My burger had maybe 5-6 pickled jalapeños on it, which is probably plenty for most but I lik...
