"My wife was treated at UCLH for a RARE cancer and whilst she was being treated there, we visited this amazing authentic Mexican restaurant. On Valentines day we revisited the hospital to donate the money raised from the charity I set up in her honour. This was my Valentines gift to my soulmate. I had to re book whilst being in London, so the only place I could go was this amazing restaurant. I can not tell you how special it was for me and my beautiful daughter to sit there enjoy the unbelievable food, the truly loving atmosphere, and remember my time there with my late wife. Daniel the owners son was touched and felt our journey. What a true gentleman. He is a credit to his parents and the restaurant. I will 100% be back when I am next in London. Thank you all for such a special evening."

"Whilst this in a great location next to the river, this appears to be all its got going for it. This is my first go at Venezuelan food and this has not encouraged me to try again. The food was either tough, dry, tasteless or just cold. Plaintain originates from my country too and I used to the sweetness of the taste when my gran used to cook it at home. Here they either cannot get hold of ripe bananas or think they can cheat the English palete because they do not know better. Reality check, I do. I have pork shreddings which was soooo dry it felt like it had sat there the whole day only to land on my plate when I arrived at Not keen on this one at all. Nowt more to say really except it seems to be the fate of canalside dining. Had the same medicore dining experience at nearby Proud. It looks like its views over standards."

"Review written by wife. The overall experience was good, the starters were great however there were a few things that let it down. 1) It took a while for our food to come out. 2) The drinks we ordered came out in dribs and drabs. At one point a drink for our table was given to another table. Also, we then got the same drink twice. There seemed to be a lack of communication between the waiters. 3) The food was nice, however, my husband ordered his steak and lamb to be medium well but when it came it was practically raw. He wasn’t even able to cut into it. The waitress was nice enough to take it back and have it cooked a bit more. 4) My parents food was way too salty we’re a family who like salt so for us to say it was too salty is really something. The waitress was nice enough to take it back and when it came out it was much better. 5) I had the prawn curry which was nice, it said it was a coconut lime curry however all you could taste was lime which I didn’t mind so much but after a while it was a bit sharp. 6) We called the waitress over again as my sister had ordered taco’s but she didn’t want them anymore, however when we called over the waitress she made it very clear that she was fed up/tired of having to come over to our table. She sighed before speaking and her body language clearly showed she didn’t want to be there. 7) The cocktails seemed as though they had been watered down. I got the bramble and when it came it just tasted of soda water which wasn’t great and so did my sisters cocktail. With adjustments to attitudes and service, it could be a really great place."

"I'm disappointed to share my experience at this restaurant. I had made a reservation for my partner and me, and upon our arrival, we entered and waited at the front for someone to seat us. Unfortunately, the staff seemed unprepared for their duties. We stood by the entrance while two employees chatted and laughed in the kitchen, seemingly oblivious to us. The restaurant was completely empty, which was not surprising given the service we received. We tried to get their attention, and while they glanced our way, they continued their conversation without acknowledging us. A member of the kitchen staff even came out to joke around, but we were ignored once again. Feeling quite frustrated and disheartened, we decided to leave. It’s unfortunate because I believe our dining experience could have been enjoyable if the staff had been attentive and professional."

"Great food,I had the veggie arepa and it was delicious. Would also recommend the plantain. Reasonable priced and tasty cocktails. Service was very good as well, staff were friendly. Only negative is that I was a bit cold because it was march and the arches are difficult to heat"

"Every time I walked past to go to the cinema I said I would try Cocina as it catches your eye with the lights etc. Unfortunately I have a problem with red onion so it puts me off Mexican restaurants. I finally got the change to go and am glad I did. It was clean and so pretty inside. The music was good and mot too loud. It was out the way and not too busy. The waitress was helpful with my onion problem and I didn't react to any of the food which can happen. They have hats to take photos in and some interesting facts on the table about Norwich castle. I am glad I tried it and will go back at some point. Service was excellent. We got 20% off when purchasing cinema tickets."

"This restaurant has a very casual dining atmosphere, so I'm not sure if making a reservation is really necessary, although it might be wise to do so on Thursday and Friday evenings after work. You order at the counter, and they bring the food to your table. They seem to have a busy delivery service on Mondays. The Happy Hour drink specials are great for groups from the office. The food is decent and made to order behind the counter, though it could have been a bit hotter. It offers good value: for £27, you can get nachos, a quesadilla, a salad, a large burrito, and two classic margaritas. The staff are friendly and capable. I would definitely stop by for a quick bite or to spend time with friends and family."

"The restaurant has a charming ambiance and is aesthetically pleasing. The food was decent/good, but the service was lacking. It took 1 hour and 30 minutes to receive our food, and we had to ask three times for water before it was brought to us. It seemed like there were not enough staff members, as more and more customers kept coming in. Several groups of people had to wait for extended periods of time. The establishment should consider limiting the number of patrons if the staff is struggling to keep up with the demand."
