Ambience

Pros:

• "Lovely atmosphere, very interesting cocktails, and food cooked from scratch that was soooo tasty!"

• "The vibe is very much 'family run', and all the more authentic for that."

Cons:

• "It's a small venue so I recommend booking in advance, even on weekdays. I heard you can park in the Hayes carpark but we always find a spot on the road close by."
• "Just get there early or book a table as it's popular (rightly so) and closes pretty early."

Authenticity

Pros:

• "This is a real Mexican place, we have just come back from south California where we had many Mexican style meal and we were looking for a place to revive the experience and I must say I was delighted."
• "The owner and his family are so kind and forthcoming ready to help and explain the different dishes. The Enchilada is one of the best dish I ever tasted."

Cons:

• "I hadn't had good Mexican food since I moved to the UK from California and it was honestly one of the things I missed most."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "All staff members were chatty and humble. The price point of food was perfect."
• "The menu will be familiar to most and best of all it has all the dishes is westerners love."

Cons:

• "The only thing I would change would be to offer smaller, cheaper meals at lunchtime - something around £7-8 rather than the HUGE £11-12 offerings."
• "Good luck, but this one’s a no from me. The prices are pretty steep for what you get and where you are."
