Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Food is nice, quite spicy even for the medium ones."
  • "The burrito was very nice and filling - it was quite big so did save some for the next day!"
  • "The food was great. The service was not something I'm used to...with sitting down, ordering from your phone and waiting with minimal interaction from staff."
  • "Beef Biria tacos were really nice, wings were not great.. Chops were a little on the rubbery side.. But flavours were all banging."
  • "Absolutely stunning food: the birria tacos were some of the best I've had outside of Mexico - especially the dipping sauce, which was spot on."
  • "Amazing food!! Can not fault any of it. The Beef Birria Tacos were perfectly slow cooked and tender."
  • "The birria tacos and quesadillas were very tasty. However, you used to be able to get 4 tacos for the same price."
  • "Amazing food!! Really recommend this place. I had the birria tacos and a taste of the soft chicken tacos and they were so good."

Cons:

  • "I came after my baptism because we were told to fast in the morning… the chicken was falling off the bone, the birria tacos were overflowing with juice and beef."
  • "My tinga chicken tacos were quite bland in flavour, which was disappointing and the soft shell fell apart before I even took a bite."
  • "The lamb birria tacos were bursting at the seams with more than ample amounts of meat, cheese, coriander, and some charred vegetables."
  • "Food: Wasn't great wasn't bad either. It was on the bland side, not much flavour."
  • "Whilst the food is really nice, the portion sizes and the pricing are not."
  • "Gross food, gross customer service. You pay first so that they can scam and overcharge you without realising."
  • "The food was tasty and fresh. Ordering system using QR code is very messy as there were misunderstandings and incorrect items brought back to our table."
  • "Most unseasoned dry food I have ever tasted."

  • "Me and my wife went for an iftar and the service was great. The food packed such flavour and was tasty."

Cons:

  • "Don Tacos, a supposed haven of Mexican authenticity, left me bitterly disappointed."
  • "The rest of my party got quesadillas, I tried some and these were really good, probably the highlight for me."
  • "The only thing I would say they definitely need expanding as there is just not enough space for all customers."

  • "Customer service was absolutely despicable.I would never recommend going if you don’t have a smartphone."
  • "Had the chicken tacos as beef ones contain way touch fat and gristle. Must say they were to die for and I will keep coming back for them, shame about the beef ones as I would like to try them but I can't stand fat n gristle."
  • "Failed to deliver drinks and then when we contacted them to rectify this they essentially blamed it on us for ordering through Uber Eats."
