A l'Aldea Antigua — Restaurant in Carate Brianza

If I could give this "street food vendor" less than 1 star, I would. This experience was the absolute worst I've ever had. I feel so bad because I was expecting authentic Mexican food but what I got was absolute garbage. I ordered 3 shrimp tacos for 14 Euros so my expectations were high but so absolutely disappointing, to say the least, because the tacos were cold and served with a very thick mayonaise sauce that they called "Aztec" - really strange and gross. I wish it was written on the menu that they were cold tacos so I wouldn't have ordered them in the first place. When I complained that I could not eat the dish, instead of helping me out or offering a substitute the "lady" said, "Oh, but you are very first one not to like this." I replied that I would write some comments about this fake Mexican food and bad service. Finally, she agreed to make a substitute dish - a plate of salty nachos with some cold beans and guacamole that was 8 Euros. I would not have written this review, but she would not return the 6 Euros owed to me to compensate for the other dish. Listen, the customer is always right. They had the nerve to tell me that I should have respect instead of being kind or maybe even offering me a sangria or an item of equal value. I would say to avoid this place at all costs unless you like fake and overpriced nasty "Mexican food." NB: If your staff had only offered me a substitute of the same value with a smile instead of insulting me for not liking the tacos, I would not be writing...

What can I say, I've eaten here many many times and always loved it. Inside or out (When the weather is good they open the roof looking out onto the river and bridge), we have always enjoyed it. The atmosphere is always upbeat, with south American music and lots of laughter (It is usually full of happy families, friends, groups and couples) and super Latin decor which gives it a very Mexican feel. The menu is extensive and the drinks and deserts are in line with Mexican foods. They don't do what many places do, and Italianize it, which is great. I think I've tried nearly every dish. My only complaints, the dishes are not spicy enough for me and the service can be slow (There a lots of staff, but there are always many people dining so I understand the delay)! During Covid they reduced their prices for takeout, unlike some places, which was very appreciated and made me want to go even more. You must try this place, overall it is a great package (Food, decor, Ambiance, service, Price). Hard to find a...

Just been here because of the very good memories about fajitas (which we had always eaten the previous times, years ago). The place it self is super nice; kind waiters and good Margarita. Food was not that good though: Tasteless nachos, covered by a very thick layer of cheese. Other servings such as black beans and meat were very dry and the various ingredients didn't link together. Fried food not really fragrant. Churros dough was not properly cooked. Burned coffee. Very disappointed, we are not...
