This one is a tricky one to rate. Overall I would give this 4.4, but some of our party were not happy and would've given it much less. I really enjoyed my meal but it wasn't the best Mexican I have had. The starters were fantastic though but very sizable, and I can eat a fair amount. I had the nachos with beef, and it was honestly some of the best nachos I've ever had, but if I went back I would share this with another person, far too much for a starter for one. I then had the chilli con carne, which was nice but not the best, it didn't help that I was quite full from the starter. Some of our party had the ribs, which fell of the bone, were very sizable and tasted great. The lamb however, was not something we would ever order again, took the left overs back for the local cat, and even the cat didn't eat it. The place was very clean and presentable, with Mexican decor on point. Overall I would definitely go back, but would be tempted to just order loads of starters and have those as our main meals.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! As I'm writing this review I'm still pulling out the chewy chicken stuck in my tooth. 2 adults, 2 teens and 2 children dining experience. Starters, average for the price you pay. Mains, 5 out of 6 meals were average. The 6th meal, mine, chicken fajita, the chicken was dry and chewy, 5 out of 6 meals edible, so not too much of an issue, until I called a member of staff over to tell them about the chicken, he never spoke English so called the 2 owners, told them the chicken is dry and chewy, they both laughed at me, their response, ' I've sold loads today, not 1 problem, your being awkward, you don't want to pay'. All I expected was for them to offer me a replacement or another option, instead they went over to another table and asked them 'How was your chicken fajita today', loud so that I could hear. This was getting quite embarrassing now. I have my own catering business, so I believe I know my food. Told them I'm a chef and they laughed at me, in front of my family and other diners. Explained to them that we've ordered all this food, we're not happy with 1 item and you can't take criticism. They took my meal away from me in anger and muttered to themselves in Portuguese, something about the British. Never in my life have I ever experienced the owners of a restaurant laughing in a customers face and get angry over criticism. The food by the way was below average and well overpriced. Pic of my receipt attached, so this is a genuine review. UK customer.

I was walking through the city and walked past this mexican restaurant and saw food on the table that caught my eye. It looked so damn good, that I went inside and asked the lady what it was and she showed me on the menu what it was. I wanted to come back later, which I did!! She actually remembered me when I came back later! Then sat at a table outside, which was pretty nice. They had nice soft cushions for the chairs. I had a large beer and waited for my food, which didn’t take too long. After digging into this dish, it just totally blew my mind!!! The spices and everything were just so delicious! The service here is A+ they are so nice. My bill was under €20 and I paid with card. I would recommend this place! If I ever come back to this city, I am definitely coming here again! Thank you 😊

The Queue all the way back to the beach at 7 o'clock tell you all you need to know Waited 20 minute but well worth the wait Wasn't overly hungry but needed to eat so just tortilla chips & gauc to start, was decent with nice chucks in the gauc I had the sizzling chicken fajitas, great portion of excellently seasoned chicken served with warm fluffy soft wraps, fresh homemade salsa, gauc, grated cheese & fresh chopped lettuce to build your own Wifes enchiladas were full of chicken, peppers & onion, & full of flavour accompanied by super seasoned yellow fluffy rice & a side of refried beans washed down by 2 freshly frozen fruit margaritas Might not be the best in Portugal but far the best in the old town

Friends were worried when saw the queue but reviews said they worked very quick and it was right we got our table wait staff incredible helpful and really add to atmosphere dipa our waitress was enjoyable to talk to and very helpful and the food… Incredible mixtures of flavours and spice the spice was enough to know it was Mexican but not hot enough to deter any Irish people who are notoriously poor at handling spice and can ask for more/less spice enchiladas and burrito along with the nachos appetiser were amazing and the jugs of margaritas and sangria were generous well priced and very nice would recommend to everyone and regardless of the queue worth the wait(peak time for us about 25 min wait)

Really amazing mexican restaurant. We ordered the tuna enchiladas (my order), the shrimps fajitas and some tacos. The portions were small, but enough to satisfy your hunger. Though four tacos would be better than only 3. The enchiladas were great, i recommend! The fajitas were good to, but they just bring you a few tortillas, not enough for the portion of shrimps they give you. So we ordered two more tortillas, which costed us 1€. The cocktails were amazing too! I had a strawberry daiquiri and it was so delicious! Overall i really recommend this place, the only negative thing was the service. They barely were around and we had to tell a server twice that we want our bill.
