Very nice place, they nailed the Tex-Mex atmosphere with their design and decorations. Comfy seating, too. Unfortunately we were not very wow'd by the food (apart from one exception; see below). Nacho chips, tortillas, and queso (cheese) dip all tasted store-bought. Salsa was a bit too sweet and chunky (stewed style). Enchilada Santa Fe had a slice of somewhat-melted mozzarella in it rather than a sharper tasting cheese like cheddar, and bell peppers were too large/crudely cut. The Beef in the fajitas was tender and nicely seasoned, but was not served sizzling hot, nor were the onions or peppers fried enough. No cheese served. Only sauce was the same sweet salsa.
None of this was bad. It was just very standard "Euro-Mex", which tends to not be very exciting. And in Tallinn, we discovered at least one Mexican place making exceptional tacos, and another making much better food, as well, albeit at ridiculously high prices. At least the prices at Cantina Carramba are fair.
The one exceptional item we had was the Chilie Soup. It was like a blended chili con carne, probably a bean base, that was proper hot and sour. That was phenomenal. If I lived in Tallinn, I would come here regularly just to eat this soup. And since I don't, I fully intend on experimenting and trying to duplicate it!
Drink wise, the Margarita was very tasty, but it was tiny and weak and definitely not worth Є10, so I only had one instead of my usual 3-4 (for this size). I ordered a beer and it was served way too warm, but they did have ice, so it wasn't a big problem.
I think this place has a lot of potential but definitely needs a few tweak to become...
Read moreI recently visited this place for a meal with friends and was thoroughly impressed with the experience.
The food was absolutely delicious and authentic, with traditional dishes like enchiladas and tortillas that were expertly prepared. The service was also top-notch, with a friendly and attentive waitstaff.
Prices were also very reasonable, especially for the quality of the food and drinks, and the portions were generous. The interior had a fun and unique Mexican design, and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. We also enjoyed the margaritas, which were a great value at €7.
They also have vegetarian options - I had the vegetarian enchilada "Santa Fe" and it was amazing.
I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a great Mexican dining experience. I will definitely be back!

Read moreWhat I wanna say! This restaurant is great from entering to food. When I entered I felt myself in Mexico or some Latin country because atmosphere was made pretty good and music is amazing. Officiant at my day was great, gave me reccomendations on food, drinks etc. Spicy food is really spicy and they have a cream made of milk next to food if it's gets too hot and this is one big plus. Portions are big in my opinion, but I'm a big eater so I didn't left hungry which is great. Choose of drinks are big and tequilas are great, they are served with salt and lemon so that tequila taste wouldn't be that bad if you are first trier. Just great place to feel Mexican, Latin atmosphere and have a great spicy food for...
