I went yesterday with my girlfriend for dinner.The place is friendly and gets pretty crowded. However, a nice looking place does not translates to "nice food". We got a serving of "nachos", "chicken nuggets" and "tacos combinados". From the moment I tried the tacos I knew what was coming.... It was a plate of 3 tacos: one with chilly concarne, one with chicken and one that was supposes to be vegetarian. The last one I did not finish because it was really bad. Very bad combination of the ingredients, with no special taste. Therefore, I was left with the other two. The chill concarne had extreme amounts of spices( paprica etc) and the chicken was cooked loooong before it was served. To make the long story short, sever stomach aches and 4hours of sleep ( spend the night in the bathroom) for only 10 Euros.... A nice restaurant experiece does not only come from its atmosphere and its design , but also comes from the...

Read moreThis place caught my attention by its name and as it was on my way to another location. At the time of my visit ( friday, 10 pm ) it was packed and I was lucky to catch a free table at all.
I went for some burrito and a jumbo tequila sunrise. The burrito was okay - just not spicy enough for my taste as it was declared as spicy. The cocktail wasn't that good and pricewise ( 15 EUR ) quite disappointing - hence 1 star reduction.
My waiter wasn't that attentive and even after telling her I wanted to pay she did not only serve other clients ( taking their orders ) but others which asked to pay were preferred - enough for another star reduction and...
