• "Delicious tacos, especially the pork taco."

Cons:

• "It’s just a shame you only get two tacos per portion because I wanted more."

Cons:

• "I have a severe food allergy which has always been accommodated but tonight I was made to feel like I was being an imposition."

• "The table was cleared whilst I was still eating which was a bit bizarre."
• "The staff just kind of ignored us but did their jobs."

Ambiance

Pros:

• "Great vibe and cosy little place. Really enjoyable cocktails and great tacos! What is more to ask!?"
• "The restaurant had a great atmosphere and the service was friendly and quick."
• "One of the best Mexican restaurants in London! The ambience it’s beautiful, very nice decor."
• "This is a quirky little spot in Clapham with good energy for a dinner with friends."
• "I found this place by accident when another brunch spot I wanted to visit was full. It was empty and looks a bit dubious from the outside but I'm so glad I went in. It's a lovely looking place and deceptively spacious."
• "Colourful place serving tasty food, with own twist on Mexican dishes. Great decor, very cosy."
• "Fantastic alternative brunch place! Great in the sun outside, brilliant atmosphere, and friendly, fun staff on hand at all times."

Cons:

• "The only negative was we felt that it was quite expensive."
• "Unfortunately, after our initial drinks and food order, none of the servers came up to us again so we weren’t able to order any more drinks."
• "We got nachos, tuna ceviche, mini chorizo, beans, halloumi, and pico de gallo with chips as a starter. All the starters were generous portions, all which could be shared between 2 people. The starters were the star of the meal."
• "The menu isn't huge (pretty much tacos or tacos) but it's absolutely delicious."
• "It was just okay. The vibe was good and the food was fine, but the portions are tiny for the price. Additionally, they need to expand the menu as there's not much variety here."
• "We went there for food, but ending up having just drinks instead. Food is pricey, 11 pounds for 2 tacos... There are few options to choose from, but there's no quesadillas or burritos."
