Food Quality
Pros:
"The pork burrito was delicious."
"Fab Burrito! My other half and I couldn't decide on which burrito to have and so shared the pork and chicken, both of which were delicious!"
"I had the Vegetarian tacos and chilli fries both of which were really good."
"The tacos were amazing, like Wahaca but much nicer and more authentic."
"The vegan nachos were fab, really tasty."
"The food was SO GOOD! Hot, fresh, and delicious."
"Great Mexican food! Tried the pork burrito and it was so good."
Cons:
"Unfortunately I am craving tacos from Mexico or even California, but regardless we ordered a variety of 5 different tacos and most of the meats were dry and flavours were pretty mild."
"The tacos are average with most of the times the cheese being burned or hard."
"Looks good, tastes mediocre."
"The fish tacos kind of reminded me of breaded tacos versus battered tacos."
"The burrito however was bland, overstuffed, and a nightmare to eat: it squished and dripped all over the place."
"The tacos were really tasteless and the aubergine was really undercooked."
"Food is not good, had guacamole, tacos, salad and it was ok."
Service
Pros:
"All the staff were lovely, it seemed like they wanted us to have a good experience."
"The staff were excellent, they managed to accommodate us on the large table."
"Super friendly staff with phone chargers available for emergencies."
"Really friendly staff, especially a young lady called Olly, who greeted us with a warm welcome."
"Great, quick and friendly service. Very good value!"
"Staff were lovely, the food came out in minutes of ordering and was delicious."
"Service was great, food was fantastic and it was affordable."
Cons:
"Service although quick was laboured and lacked politeness/charisma."
"The staff went and got the manager when we asked whether an ingredient was in the food. The manager was extremely rude."
"Finally the staff member told me that my order had mysteriously disappeared, without an apology or any reassurance that it would be re-made asap."
"Unfortunately, the waiter was so rude that we left before even ordering."
"Staff are friendly but on our last visit we had to wait a long time for food while the person who ordered with us had eaten and left all while we still waited."
"Service can be slow, so prepare for a frustrating wait at busy times."
"Food was good but the staff and manager were rude."
Value
Pros:
"It's a nice option to go out with friends."
"Good selection of beers or fresh juices and amazing drinks!"
"Very good value!"
"Good value for money and friendly staff."
"Pure perfection with a mexican cuisine.. The food is great and affordable, the staff is very friendly and nice."
"Value for money was extraordinarily good (40 pounds for two people's food + bottomless soft drinks + a beer each)."
"The prices are very low compared to other places."
Cons:
"The portion sizes are not that large for the money you are paying so be aware."
"The portions here are pitiful."
"Ordered the tacos to share (there were 6 of them), thought they were okay; a little pricey for the portion size though."
"Our group thought the food was decent but felt that they were pretty stingy with the portions."
"I believe that their non-discounted prices are far too expensive for the value received."
"Personally I was disappointed with the lack of tequila... food was good. Expensive."
"Overall, the food was overpriced for the size."
Ambiance
Pros:
"DF's industrial interior looked cool."
"Owned by the same people as Wahacca, DF/Mexico had a much more chilled out and open ambiance."
"Cool atmosphere."
"The variety of food is great, as well as the interior design. It’s rarely packed and great to relax as well."
"Cute, Brick Lane esque decor makes this a cool, casual spot for catching up with friends."
"The ambiance was so fresh and fun- a hidden gem."
"Excellent atmosphere, I liked the decor inside, reminded me of taquerias in California."
Cons:
"Both male and female toilets were disgusting with urine on both floors and generally dishevelled."
"The music is too loud and the central table too big. You have to shout to be heard by more than one person in your party."
"However, the tables in the middle area are not suitable for gathering, because the tables are too large and the place is quite noisy."
"Didn't like the electro-hipster music they were playing but it wasn't intolerable."
"Very confusing doors."
"Another 'restaurant' that thinks it's ok for customers to spend their meal messing about with phones, QR codes and ordering via a website."
