Ambiance and Setting

Pros:

  • "The restaurant is built in one of the cargos near the harbour-side and it is perfect for summers."
  • "It has an intimate feel to it, which we loved."
  • "Buzzing place on the upper deck of the containers."
  • "Great vibe, fantastic staff and yummy food!"
  • "This was only the start of what was a great experience, friendly, knowledgeable staff, tasty food and great cocktails."
  • "Great atmosphere, friendly staff, open kitchen which is always interesting to watch."
  • "One of my absolute favourite places to eat in Bristol! The margaritas are epic, the nachos are lush."
  • "Really cool little place! It's an amazing concept of turning cargo containers into places to get some good food."

Cons:

  • "Whilst I waited it started to get very busy and it felt like there was a complete disregard to any Covid safety measures."
  • "We were seated under a heater which was okay, but the outside seating could feel a bit cramped if full."
  • "We popped in for a couple of margaritas before dinner elsewhere. It took us 20 minutes to get served."
  • "TINY portions! Tasty food, friendly service...but guys come on! We paid £17 for a couple of tiny tacos and small sides."

Food Quality and Variety

Pros:

  • "The chicken tacos was on my list to try and they did not disappoint."
  • "The sharing tacos were a great option for a couple as gives a good opportunity to try lots on the menu."
  • "The food was delicious - we tried the fully loaded nachos and their current special of Lamb tacos."
  • "Pork tacos were the highlight even if they are not my favorite."
  • "Fantastic mexican food, the taco sharing platter has incredible variety."
  • "Absolutely the best Mexican we’ve ever had. The food was so fresh and well balanced."
  • "We had the Taco sharing board. Every aspect of the sharing board was amazing, tender meat and tasty toppings."
  • "Been here 4 times and I'll be coming again. Absolutely love this place, delicious every single time."

Cons:

  • "The tortillas used for the tacos were a bit soggy, they felt as if they had been cooked in a microwave."
  • "The tacos were soggy and not hot. The portion size was extremely small."
  • "I ordered the vegetarian nachos (£10) they were okay but very pricey for a bowl of nachos."
  • "The Nachos and Margs were good but unfortunately the Tacos were disappointing, which is what we came for."
  • "Nachos were tiny, beetroot tacos were terrible, ceviche tacos super salty and not too thrilling."
  • "Very little meat, mostly rice and I am not expecting much, I am not fussy! I can see why the Greek one next door had a constant queue!"
  • "Ordered via Uber Eats. Tasty enough burritos but for what I paid, we were hoping for ones the size of a baby rather than Guinea pig."
  • "The burritos were very filling, with lots of rice and beans but not too much meat."

Service and Staff

Pros:

  • "Didn't get the ladies name who served us but she was amazing, friendly, memorised our whole order!"
  • "The staff were extra kind and found us 2 tables to accommodate all of us within 10 minutes."
  • "Lovely food! 10/10 service from Darci, she was lovely and always happy to help, really made our experience better!"
  • "The staff are the loveliest people and so passionate about the food."
  • "Waitress (I think her name was Mika?) was so warm and accommodating."
  • "Staff are kind, they do their best to make their space accessible to Disabled people."
  • "Highly recommended. Moderately priced and worth it. The food is tasty and great for sharing. The cocktails are great."
  • "These guys do the best veggie burrito I have ever tasted - the staff are super friendly and always make you welcome."

Cons:

  • "Really friendly but slow service. Had to wait over 30 minutes for 2 cocktails."
  • "Our visit was tainted by the manager carrying out a performance review with one of the team who had served us right in the middle of the restaurant."
  • "It took us 20 minutes to get served and 20 minutes before we walked out because our drinks still hadn't been brought over."
  • "Service started out great but got less attentive as the staff member who greeted us wasn't the same as the one who brought food or bill."
  • "The 'a voluntary 10% will be added to your bill' has obviously been a standard restaurant ploy for years but they do at least usually flag this up somewhere."
  • "Slow service... Ignored for quite a while food isn't great I found it tasteless staff seemed a little bit cocky when there spoke to you."
  • "We ordered the pulled pork burritos, should have been named pulled rice burrito! Was quite looking forward to trying this place, but not again!"
