I am giving it a one star and that is because there is no option to give this restaurant/bar a negative rating. The location is great because it's near the metro stop and very easy to access and find. Inside the location, it seems to be clean, atmosphere: has low lighting, it is loud but it is a restaurant/bar so it's expected. The staff was very nice, even though our waitress did make a mistake of ordering the wrong nachos (unless what we ate was REALLY what we saw on the menu and we pointed it to her) but she was also nice. There are rules that need to be followed due to COVID-19, one rule which really surprised me is that there is a 2 hour limit per table and sure enough a very nice waiter came by to tell us our time was up. The drink/cocktail selection is very varied, too big for my taste because your head spins and you tend to look at the menu a thousand times before you decide what you want to drink. I ordered a San Francisco because i was driving and my husband and friend ordered a Mezcal Mule which we thought would come as presented on menu but it was very far from it. My drink was 7.90 size small and other drinks/cocktails range from 9.90 to 15.00 euro 😱! My biggest issue with this place is the food. We ordered nachos and unfortunately our waitress brought us the wrong version of nachos, the nachos was basically tortilla chips thrown on a baking sheet, thrown in the microwave, with melted cheese which you can clearly taste that it was melted by microwave (it was dry microwave melted cheese) with chopped up onions and some peppers, for almost 9.00 euro a plate I think I ate better nachos from 7'11. It was a huge disappointment. Then I ordered the tamale (i was very surprised that they even had this option), yet again another disappointment, it wasn't a tamale, it was polenta, slapped on a dish with dry corn and little spicy peppers cut around it (i am guessing to give it a color). I think if the tamale can talk he would probably cuss out the cook for calling him tamale, the tamale was heated up in a microwave. My husband ordered a corn on a cob (Mexican street food), i kid you not, the corn was the size of my thumb and in the menu they have advertised it with french fries and it didn't come this way, it was extra, we think. I ordered tacos with carnitas, complete fail, it was basically chucks of fat with sauces which hid the flavor of the carnitas but that might be a good thing. As a Latin American who has lived in Mexico and around South America i felt some what embarrassed about the food. I thought to myself, "is this what many Bavarians think is Mexican food?". This is the biggest problem with big franchise chain restaurant/pubs, they definitely do not reflect the delicious REAL Mexican street food or it's cuisine. All in all it's a good place to have a couple of drinks maybe to be on the safe side order french fries and have a good time with your friends but PLEASE don't think this is Mexican food.

Read moreDuring my visit last week, my dining companion and I were initially seated at a small table near the entrance. Unfortunately, this table was unstable and made us feel uncomfortable. I kindly asked the waiter if we could be relocated to a more secure table inside, but our request was declined.
I noticed that the lighting in the restaurant was insufficient for reading the menu comfortably. It hindered my dining experience and made it challenging to select my meal. Also, we encountered an issue with hanging our jackets. There was no proper space available at our assigned table, so I placed my jacket on a nearby table. However, the bartender approached me and requested that I remove the jacket from that table. I understand that the availability of space for hanging jackets may be limited, especially during the winter season when jackets tend to be bulkier. While there was a small hanging option at the small table we were initially seated at, it was not sufficient for hanging two jackets simultaneously.
Regarding the food, it was satisfactory, although the preparation time was longer than expected and the portion sizes were smaller than desired. I also found the prices at Sausalitos to be on the higher side. The small and unstable table I was seated at proved to be quite inconvenient. It made it difficult to enjoy my meal and affected my overall comfort...
Read morePlace looked empty when we arrived, but the first question they asked was without even a hello, was whether we had a reservation. The tone made it seem like they wouldn’t have let us in if we didn’t. Luckily we did but rather than sit us in the outdoor seating or near the front where several separate groups were seated, we were placed in the very back counter by ourselves. I understand social distancing, but we were literally the only people in the back while other groups enjoyed the fresh air. We would have been happy to show our vaccination status had they asked but it seems more anti foreigner. Drinks seemed pricy, even at happy hour prices but were pretty good. Waitress while very nice, did tell us all cocktails would be on happy hour but when delivering the bill said she was incorrect and one was full price. She did bring us some shots to make up for it, but would have preferred to spend the amount we thought we were going to spend. 5 stars for the...
