Food Quality and Variety
Pros:
"Guacamole, tuna tostadas, salsas, and short rib sharing plate were all so good."
"The crab was fresh and tasty. The quesadilla with the crispy cheese and sweetness of the pineapple but also enough spice."
"The best tacos for sure was the octopus and confit pork."
"All of the tacos that we had were good but the highlight were the fish tacos."
"The crab tostadas, crab & pork tacos, esquites and corn cake were all delicious and beautifully textured."
"This is as close as it will get to authentic Mexican food."
"The carnitas are so good and authentic you'd think you are in a food market in Mexico."
"Super generous with guacamole portions and the salsas pack such a punch."
"The food is always great."
Cons:
"We got the bone marrow but would probably skip next time as the short rib didn't need it."
"Nachos with some guacamole was a good compliment before the tacos."
"The gringa didn’t have any flavor."
"Food was ok. The best one among the ones we ordered was the short rib but I wouldn’t say it’s anything extraordinary."
"Not authentic Mexican food, but decent flavors."
"The pastor tacos were fine. Strawberry & basil margarita was warm, tasted old somehow?"
"Food lacked the acidity and fiery kick that you expect from Mexican."
"The guac was not fresh the chips were store bought. The tacos were flavorless and the corn tasted exactly like nothing."
"The food is very average and nothing tasty. The short rib taco was dry and lacked flavour."
Service and Staff
Pros:
"The service was great. The drinks and appetizers came out so quickly."
"Very nice authentic tacos and nice friendly waiters."
"The staff were friendly but may not be well trained."
"We were there for lunch and the food was superb. We had our own room, which is great for larger parties."
"Service- 5/5 stars. Everyone was really nice to us."
"Pleasantly surprised with this fun Mexican spot in Soho! Came for dinner and drinks on a Sunday night and enjoyed everything from the service to the food to the vibe."
"Absolutely amazing place. Delicious food, awesome drinks, super nice waiters and beautiful ambiance."
"The place has a very nice atmosphere, but what makes the place amazing is the delicious food and the cheerful staff."
"The staff were very friendly and work very hard to be on top of everything."
Cons:
"Sadly, the service was poor. When we showed up, it was really difficult just to get a waiter's attention, and they were kinda rude when we ordered."
"The service itself was solid if unspectacular that night, nothing of note made me think that the service was exceptional, but nothing which made me think that it was terrible either."
"We ordered margaritas, short rib, a variety of tacos, stuffed peppers and a desert. The food took close to an hour to arrive and 20 minutes after completing our meals the plates were still not removed."
"Food and drinks were very tasty - huge range of frozen margs which I could have again right now! Only downside, and we did mention on the night was the bass from the DJ....."
"We ordered but they forgot some of the order. Had to remind them and they still didn't seem concerned and were either at the pass on their phones or chatting to each other at the till."
"Tiny tasteless tacos at exorbitant prices. Didn’t like the chicken, fish or prawn tacos - all were terrible."
Ambiance and Location
Pros:
"Nice, relaxed atmosphere that still feels special but not stuffy."
"Lovely restaurant, decor and atmosphere were very nice."
"A really noisy venue and the acoustics didn't help, but the hustle and bustle was welcomed."
"It's notoriously difficult to find good Mexican food in London, so I was very glad my friend recommended this to me."
"Fab vibe, the interior is gorgeous. Service was good and the food was good."
"The atmoshpere is cute and it gives the impression of very best quality Mexican."
"On the pricier side, especially considering the food is predominantly small plates. However, everything we had was delicious and fresh."
"Oof! Buena! We were taken downstairs to the den “Goodfellas” style and loved the atmosphere and decor of the place."
"A cool place with friendly service, the food is a little lacklustre."
Cons:
"Only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is due to it only having one toilet for the entire floor. Quite the line and you have to time it right..."
"It is a bit on the pricey side. Good 3 course meal with no drinks will be around £70~."
"The food and service is not worth the money. Restaurant is very loud, not a place for a catch up!"
"The restaurant was practically empty, and they managed to forget to bring a dish, and the waiters were nowhere to be seen, very hard to get someone’s attention."
"The service was inattentive, the food was below average, lacking flavor all over, and the whole meal was overpriced."
"I had the two vegan starters they have on the menu. "Refriqueso tostadas" which was very simple, super small, bland mashed beans."
