• "Lovely restaurant. Cozy interiors, lovely staff. Their service was absolutely great."

• "Service was good and fast, the waitress was lovely and friendly."

Cons:

• "The waiting time to be served took a while, this was the only negative."
• "Service could have been better. Waitress who took our order was a bit grumpy and unfortunately one of our table didn't get their main meal and it had to be re-ordered."
• "Service was so bad. I made the reservation a week prior, got there and the waitress at the door told us to pick a seat.. we were later told that they had reserved seats for us upstairs and proceeded to seat me in front of an active door that hit my back every time someone walked through."
• "Service has definitely improved since last visit, and the place has had a bit of a revamp which looks great, comfy chairs and warm."
• "We arrived and due to the layout was unsure where to go, I asked at the bar of this was the right place and the staff member replied yes and then ignored me and my young family and left us standing there."
• "Whilst the food was ok, I had a Burrito and the only thing Mexican about it was the name. Social distancing could've been alot better as I was literally sitting back to back to the lady on the next table."
• "It was really busy but they coped very well. Looks and sounds like authentic Mexico. Food, limited menu but the food was absolutely beautiful. Will be back for sure."
• "Whilst the food at selminas is usually very good the service is abysmal. Had table booked tonight at 20.00 arrived no table and several people also waiting."
