“ Everything was great. The service is very busy but they managed to get everything really fast. I recommend you to get the beef taquitos as they were amazing as well as some frozen margaritas. The only thing that didn't enjoy as much was the nachos and the sauces as some felt a bit too watery. ”
“ Fantastic service, would recommend for the staff alone. The food was great, but the cheesecake was noticeably not great, though we didnt think it warranted a complaint or anything but it was definitely a frozen cheesecake that was recently defrosted... Other than that would highly recommend! ”

“ This is the most authentic Mexican I've had since being in the UK. I highly recommend you go there and try it for yourself. The tacos are amazing, as are the burritos. Good for sharing with a partner or friends; order a couple of different dishes and share them to see what you like. ”
“ This was just the welcome ‘home’ I needed - friendly welcome, fast service, offered tap water while I waited for my takeout burrito after a long flight. Nice atmosphere. If this is everyone’s first impression of Glasgow city and the people, I’ll be proud. Enjoyed the burrito very much. ”
“ Always INCREDIBLE food. Been coming here for years and never been let down. Tried the cauli wings for the first time and my husband was obsessed with them, so crispy but nice and soft on the outside. My faves will always be the steak taco and queso - literally crave it so bad sometimes. Staff are always lovely and the atmosphere is always brilliant. ”
“ Great food, and friendly staff, didn't wait around for food or drinks. ”
