We visited yesterday and sat outside (covid life!). There were only two tables available outside so we were lucky to walk up and find one free.
We had the combo to start which we really enjoyed (but would have preferred a hotter sauce for the wings), beautifully cooked and well presented. If we'd known how big our mains were going to be, we wouldn't have had starters (that's a lie, we'd still have had starters).
We shared a chicken burrito and seafood paella, the great thing is you can choose your heat on all the Mexican dishes and we both went hot. A really nice chilli heat that builds but didn't blow your head off. Even with a good go, we only managed about half our mains and took the rest home - our waiter was definitely used to boxing up!
I had a really good salted margarita, which are surprisingly hard to come by, but slightly limited options of beer on draught for my other half. It was great on a sunny day, watching everyone walk by and service was attentive but not intrusive.
We can't wait to go again, we might book one of the rooms above to make a night of it and have more than one of...
Read moreThough my family enjoyed the food. I ordered an £18.95 paella. I don't eat any meat and treated myself for the first time in 3 years by ordering a seafood paella. The dish stated shrimp, mussels and squid. The paella I got had no seafood in it, it instead had chicken and pork in it. Not at all what I ordered and certainly not worth £18.95. Unfortunately I couldn't eat any of it as I don't eat chicken or pork, hence why I ordered a seafood paella. I left feeling hungry with a packed lunch for my kids of savory rice and chicken strips! If a restaurant doesn't have seafood then tell the customer instead of trying to throw together alternatives that in no way resemble what is described on the menu. Serves me right for ordering seafood after 3 years of abstinence from any animals. This is the last time I order seafood. Check with the restaurant before òrdering, that what the menu describes is what you are getting or like me go home hungry and highly...
Read moreA really disappointing experience. Friends had eaten here a few week previous & loved it so much they took us along for evening meal. I half wonder if there was a replacement chef in the kitchen, who is new to cooking Mexican, as the food was not good to say the least. Nachos had very little topping & were tasteless. Friends chimichanga was burnt, some parts were visibly black & hence inedible, he only had 2 mouthfuls. Can't believe the chef let it out of the kitchen in that state. My chimichanga with beans, had few beans but lots of runny 'juice' making the tortilla really doughy, hardly palatable and bland! Able to eat less than half of it. We complained to the waitress but we were brought the bill containg charge for food we couldn't eat! Expecting us to pay the entire...
