Stopped by for an early dinner and were the only people there. The menu looked great especially for the price so we thought we would give it a go. Nice attentive service from a lovely man who I imagine is the owner and another woman. Ordered the guacamole for starters which you could tell was wonderfully home made including the nachos. Lovely and crisp with some nice chunky bits of avocado within. We then paired that with garlic prawn burrito and prawn tacos which were not to disappoint either.

So impressed! Delicious ¡Que Rico! Excellent service. Helpful and very welcoming. The food was incredible. Amd the Margarita was one of the best I’ve ever had - and I’ve had a few!

Wherever you stay on the Costa del Sol, treat yourself to a trip to this place. Fresh and authentic food from Mexico 🇲🇽 at an excellent price. Such good value for money. I wish I could bring them home to Ireland with me. ¡Hasta la...
