Dining at this Mexican restaurant was, without exaggeration, one of the most disappointing culinary experiences I’ve had in years. And I don’t say that lightly. Having spent several weeks in Mexico earlier this year, indulging in authentic cuisine directly at the source, I was genuinely stunned by how far removed this meal was from anything resembling the flavors, textures, and soul of Mexico.
Let’s begin with the basics: the Quesadillas. Bland is the kindest word I can use to describe them. The cheese, clearly a recurring theme across dishes, lacked any depth or character. Moving on to the main courses—the Burritos—things went from uninspired to downright offensive. My wife’s vegetarian Burrito was little more than a soggy wrap filled with an overwhelming amount of lettuce, canned mushrooms (yes, canned), and a sauce reminiscent of salad mayonnaise. No beans, no rice, no seasoning, and certainly no gratinated cheese. My Burrito was essentially the same, with a scattering of unremarkable pork in place of the mushrooms. To make matters worse, my wife couldn’t even finish her main course—it simply tasted so unappetizing.
The Margaritas were equally disheartening. Overly sweet and lacking the kick of tequila, they felt more like a sugary cocktail experiment gone wrong than a true representation of this iconic drink. As someone who’s managed bars, competed in cocktail competitions, and made thousands of Margaritas in my career, I can confidently say these missed the mark by a mile.
The service? Chaotic at best. Orders were forgotten, water was requested twice and never arrived, and my wife’s vegetarian appetizer came with chicken—an error that, in itself, is difficult to overlook. Ironically, the forgotten water did appear on the final bill, adding insult to injury.
For a bill exceeding €50, the experience felt like a complete affront to the idea of hospitality. I’m more than willing to pay for great food, but this was an exercise in mediocrity and mismanagement. My honest recommendation? Take the entire team to a restaurant that knows what Mexican food should be—perhaps Plaza Mexico in Alicante—for a masterclass in how to deliver authenticity and quality.
I don’t enjoy writing scathing reviews, but honesty is paramount. This was not just disappointing; it was a...
Read moreDecepcionante, me deje llevar por las reseñas en Google, al tener una puntuación tan alta pensé que era el mejor mexicano en el que comería (al final os digo como consiguen las reseñas) y ha sido una gran decepción, el sitio agradable, me senté en la barra a esperar que llegaran mis acompañantes, había 2 personas un chico amable y otra chica que de amable tenía poco, vamos que me sirvió la caña como si no fuera a cobrármela porque por poco y me la tira encima y no recibí disculpa de su parte todo lo contrario. Los aseos fatal tanto el de hombre como mujer (mi esposa lo comentó también). Pero vamos a lo que realmente importa la comida, porque cuando la comida acompaña lo demás se olvida, pedimos dos cosas de la carta es que lo nos recomendó nuestro amigo mexicano (ya que dijo que era lo más parecido a algo mexicano auténtico) y curiosamente no había, pedimos 3 entrantes (porciones escasas para el precio) y unos tacos variados (que por cierto de 10.90€ por 2 tacos), el primer entrante aceptable (Unos nachos), pero lo que vino después toda la comida fría, las tortitas o tortillas como se llama en México frías, las sacaron tal cual del paquete donde venían y encima ponían las carnes, pero todo frio, nunca había comido un taco que la base que es la tortilla aunado de que no era casera, estaba fría al igual que las carnes, poca cantidad y mala calidad, muchísima grasa en todos, las salsas eran terribles también, ninguna ni por asomos picante y eso que no soy mexicano, pero para cerrar con broche de oro, nos enfermamos mi esposa, mi amigo y yo, nada grave de ir al hospital, pero si pasamos mala noche, nuestro amigo mexicano nos comentó que se sentía decepcionado que los extranjeros pensaran que la comida mexicana era así de mala, que desde luego el en el restaurante no vio a ningún mexicano, el personal al parecer es extranjero, pero ninguno mexicano, no sabemos si el chef lo sea o no, pero desde luego si lo es deja muy mal parado a su país, es una pena.
Lo único rescatable fue la camarera que nos atendió y el chico de la barra, por lo demás todo malo.
*Las reseñas las tienen porque te invitan un chupito si pones de puntuación 5, pero yo no me vendo por una reseña, NO QUIERO QUE NADIE TENGA UNA EXPERIENCIA COMO LA NUESTRA, SEÑORES ESO NO ES COMIDA MEXICANA AUTÉNTICA, PERO DEJA QUE SI LO ES O NO, LA COMIDA MUY MALA, SIN SABOR, GRASOSA Y ENCIMA TODO FRIO Y NO PEDIMOS...
Read moreWe came here to have lunch on our way to some other place. We asked for Quesadillas as entree, and then had 3 different tacos and a burrito (we were pretty hungry). Everything was decent in size, and delicious in taste. The tacos were non spicy (pastor), mid-spicy (huerito) and extra-hot (el chapo). The tacos (two per serving) were very tasty. Our favourite one was el chapo, because although it was spicy it had a lot of flavour (and were pretty used to spicy things, so didn't find it extreme). The vegetarian burrito was only ok: tasty but could have used some beans or tofu or some kind of protein source. The drinks looked great, but because we were driving we couldn't indulge. Attentive service, but not very fast (could be explained because we were on rush hour). Great atmosphere...
