I do feel a little bit bad for not rating this restaurant more highly, however unfortunately I just don't think the quality of the food & drinks really matches the (relatively) high price point that they charge With this being said, you certainly do get your money's worth in terms of portion sizes as the portions are absolutely huge, depending on what you order of course! The dishes I've had were very filling with the main component (for me, usually a chimichanga or something similar) being very big on it's own, but also being accompanied by a generous helping of salad & chips
I also paid something like £8 for a cocktail, and I honestly wasn't even sure if it was alcoholic at all or whether it was just fruit juice
This isn't to say that I didn't enjoy the food - it was still very nice & I did leave feeling very satisfied & extremely full - I just wish that the quality of the food was a little bit higher, or maybe that the prices weren't quite as steep so that they'd be more appropriate for the quality of the food being served I do understand that times are tough with the way the economy is, and that restaurants have high overheads to pay of course so I will definitely go back again & maybe adjust my review after trying more of the dishes
I also would like to add that the service was fantastic, the staff were extremely friendly & accommodating - we felt like we were long time friends of the man serving us, rather than customers which is very rare to come by these days!
The atmosphere, decor, music & overall vibe of the restaurant was also very cool! I loved the music & the artwork...

Read moreGreat restaurant! Nice decor inside with some lovely touches and looked very clean and tidy. As said by everyone else the portions are huge, I have a big appetite(greedy) and i was stuffd, couldn't even finish my wifes leftovers. athe food is presented beautifully and usually sizzling and I was really spoilt for choice. The staff were really friendly without overdoing it and service was quick. It was pretty busy the night I was in and everyone seemed to be having a great time . Only one eensy weensy complaint, I had the Fajita which was amazing, however it only came with 4 tortillas , which just wasn't enough for the food on the plate , at least one more would have been better and extra tortillas are £1.95 each which then makes the meal stray to the more expensive side. That been said , I have booked a table for tonight and also for Saturday as well so the tortillas are certainly not a deal breaker...
