This restaurant is very nice. The service is excellent. You are welcomed and shown to a seat. Friendly staff checked the food was good at the end of the meal. A polite chat with customers at the end really ensured they return. Great work! We had non-alcoholic cocktails that were buy one get the same again free. Full marks for a discount on driver friendly drinks. Tables were spotless with exceotion of ours that had 1small sticky patch but it was out of the way of eating. I think hygiene is very important and they take it seriously every table was rigorously cleaned so ours was a genuine glitch so no star removed for this. Had I mentioned it they would have wiped. Excellent. The main course was really nice and we were given extra wraps upon request. The food was well presented and piping hot. See the photos attached. Disabled access to the restaurant means it really suitable for all the family. A disable toilet is also available. Our dessert was great. We asked for ice cream and they added it. Very nice background music created the perfect atmosphere. Excellent restaurant. One of best I have been to in a long time. If you go to Cardiff you must visit here.

We're really fond this restaurant, although not usually a fan of chains, this Cardiff Bay restaurant always delivers. It's a step above the Swansea one, where I live, and better also than the original Cardiff one in Mill Lane. Today didn't disappoint, our server, Sean, was really friendly, sitting us on a bigger table even though there was too of us, Tapas was about to be ordered so more room needed. Seeing there were some new options on the menu, we thought we'd try a couple of the veggie choices, we're not veggies but are trying to keep an open mind. In total we ordered nachos, cauliflower bites, corn rib elotes, quesadilla with garlic & mushrooms & calamares. Maria also had a couple of caipirinhas, 2-1 it seemed, all day! The food was absolutely delicious, including cauliflower, which I don't normally like. Sean looked after us well, rounding of the experiences beautifully. Three thumbs up, will definitely be back.

Chanced upon this restaurant and absolutely loved it. It's located right at the bay, so the location and views are amazing. The decor was very lively, bright and airy. The service was superb, really friendly and fast. We were in a hurry, and for the first time saw a menu with items marked that could be prepared fast. We ordered from the set lunch menu. For starters we ordered nachos, which were amongst the best I've ever had. The homemade chips were brilliant and the toppings had loads of flavour. We also ordered honey piri piri chicken wings, which had great taste and were juicy. For main course we ordered the chicken enchilada, which was very tasty and very filling. We also ordered a Cuban sandwich which had good flavour but was a pork overload. Overall I would highly recommend this place. The food, service, decor and thoughtfulness are a cut above.

Lovely views outside, music is good as per usual - consistent with other branches in London, Birmingham & Oxford. I was able to walk-in and get a table for 1. I used the QR code to order and pay however the service was very slow compared to other branches. It took 25 minutes for mains to arrive which isn’t too bad for a solo diner however I’ve received it in lesser time. I had to ask twice for the dessert to be brought over despite having already paid - wait time was another 35 minutes. The waiting around ruined the experience a little. (Should have remembered my EarPods!). If you’re making a whole experience out of it guess the waiting time won’t bother you, if grabbing a quick bite to eat - it isn’t quick! Maybe a one off

Me and my husband went there for my birthday lunch. The westher wasn't to great hence it was very quite down the bay. Our server was Callum very nice person. Immediately came to receive us and sat us on the table we want to sit. He arrived promptly to take our orders. The menu did looked very interesting. There were quite a few items which were new. We ordered a drink and our mains. I wanted to ordered Pescada Blanco bobo but unfortunately it wasn't available that time, as they just had delivery and couldn't be prepared. Hence I went for Bahian Coconut chicken it was really delicious and filling. My husband went for the same. We ordered for drinks Coconut cooler

It’s the first time, I’m visiting Cardiff, Wales and coming from London. I spontaneously came across this Mexican restaurant. I needed a socket next to the table to recharge my phone. The host showed me a very good spot, smiled and also waiters were quite friendly. The service was fantastic. I ordered a meat burrito with fries and also a couple of mocktails. The food was very tasty and quite filling as well. I’d say there is a bit more crushed ice in mocktails but it’s fine they tasted great. Atmosphere was lovely too. I sat by the window so that I can also see the view. Overall, my experience in this Mexican restaurant was absolutely amazing!
