Great place. I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you would like to have great food and conversation. The ambience was much better than the place next door and the staff was so attentive and knowledgeable. Loved it. I come from London where we are spoiled for choices but this was truly an authentic Mexican place ?

Super chilled Mexican spot in Hells kitchen and easy to walk in. Margaritas were strong! The service was a bit slow but the food was good. We went for a few tacos to start and then shared the fajitas - would defo recommend!

Most of the menu item portions are hugh and can be shared between a couple - though most patrons took their leftovers to go. I'm sad to say, I was neither!!!?There's one caution I must stress:Beware the combo libations!!!You may not be able to stop after the 2nd glass - they're refreshing and delicious!!!!!
