"0 stars. This was our favourite Mexican restaurant but we ordered food from here and experienced the worst food poisoning we’ve ever had to the point a paramedic had to visit the house. We tried to email to handle this privately but they took no accountability, they only denied that their food was the cause and told us it was wrong to accuse them and they have done an investigation to conclude they couldn’t have given us food poisoning. How can you know this? You don’t have the food we ate to test this if it was contaminated? This was the only food me and my partner shared and half an hour after eating it we felt a bit weird but didn’t think much of it until we woke up throughout the night with stomach cramps and the full effects of food poisoning started the next morning. They even said via email as we had eaten there before how could they have given us food poisoning? That’s not how food poisoning works… all you had to do was take accountability and apologise but you have failed to do so. We will not be visiting or recommending this restaurant again."

"Went in November to the Café. Wasn’t particularly busy, I’d guess there to be 50 people spread over about 10 tables? So why on earth we had to wait so long for anything is beyond me. It took 20, yes, 20 minutes to get the bill. A small piece of paper which details what you purchased and how much it costs. 20 minutes. The staff obviously knew their service was poor, they gave the dear lady a free Mojito which is excellent by the way. The guest IPA was Punk IPA. The menu was about 10 pages. Of which 1 page is the food, and no real direction to it what is a starter, a main, a dessert? I appreciate its Tapas but it doesn’t really explain. We had 3 plates, the Squid was beautiful. We had Pork as well as truffle enchiladas. I loved it, the wife didn’t. All in all, I wouldn’t come back unless service was drastically improved."

"Had the lunchtime express menu which has an amazing selection. I personally had the lamb tacos, beef tortas and fries. Everything was nicely spiced, the meat was melt in your mouth tender and served super quick. The venue is cool with a friendly vibe and the seating very comfortable soft leather. The staff were friendly to boot. The only thing that I regret is not having the opportunity to try out their cocktails which looked delicious."

"For our starter, we received three small pots of homemade sauces and some oily tortillas. The tacos were bland. Since we don’t eat meat, we opted for the sweet potato tacos with feta cheese, which were decent thanks to the flavors of the sweet potato and cheese. However, we wanted variety and ordered a different option next time: black bean tacos with cheese. Unfortunately, they were dry and underwhelming. The saving grace was the salty insistent on avocado—though it was just a piece with a fried egg, and still lacked flavor. The deep-fried fish taco was the only one I enjoyed. Sadly, all the taco tortillas were soggy, cold, and fell apart easily, served with awkward, raw-looking garnishes. The staff seemed disorganized, and to top it off, there was a 12.5% service charge added to our bill. I paid it but left feeling dissatisfied. I won’t be returning or recommending this place to anyone."

"The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, and the service is quick. I especially enjoy their cocktails, especially during happy hour ;) My only complaint is the uncomfortable sofas."

"I have visited this restaurant twice now after seeing all the amazing reviews and photos of the food on Facebook. However both times I went away feeling a little disappointed as the food wasn’t as good as I was expecting. The second time we were particularly disappointed. We had the Brisket burrito however it wasn’t served with all the cheese and sauce as the pictures on Facebook show. It was more a plan dry burrito rammed pack with beef brisket with a tiny amount of cheese on top and with a salad on the side."

"It was a wonderful place to eat. The staff were kind, welcoming, attentive, knowledgable and clearly very hard working. The food was great and am really looking forward to coming back in the future. The only tiny tiny negative was that with the Waterloo cheese there wasn’t very much bread. But this really is a very minor detail. A great place to eat."

"Mexican tapas? Count me in! I flippin love this place. My absolute ultimate is the prawn tacos with Mexican slaw. So spicy, so amazing! I loved the frozen margaritas and tried one of every flavour. I just wish I lived closer because I would eat...here all the time if I could. Only down side is that because it’s so so so good, it’s always super busy and therefore can be loud as it attracts groups because of it being a tapas place. Having said that, the staff don’t seem overwhelmed at all by how busy it is and they are the right amount of attentive. I love that they serve still water in old tequila bottles without you having to ask."

"My favourite is the fish taco and the fried chicken taco! Love love love! I loved it so much I went back the next following weekend. Next time I hope to try the plate of fried chicken! Also, if this place was to ever to the baha fish taco as a sandwich...I would be all over that!"

"I dined there with my wife and baby, and the staff were incredibly friendly. The food was amazing! The vegetarian option, chickpea tacos, was out of this world. For dinner, we spent around £20-30 per person. I would rate the food a perfect 5, the service a perfect 5, and the atmosphere a perfect 5 as well. I highly recommend the churros and the chicken tinga."

"Shades of the late lamented Dean Deluca here! Finally, a proper, delicious deli where we can get real quality and unusual food to go in my favourite place. I practically cried with joy when I realised how good this little emporium was! On my first foray I bought a little cheese for home first rate. Then 3 weeks back a friend and I bought a selection of bread, cheese, olives and pastries to carry back to base as a lunch. The yuminess of our DIY picnic was superb and when comparing it to what we would have got (and spent) elsewhere in town for an average sit down lunch we actually chuckled. Last week, I took a group of my more discriminating relatives from afar, to pick up some of the famous toasted sandwiches with tea, buns and a bar of chocolate for a brunch. Oh.... my.... word! We felt like we were dining like kings. Blue skies, munching away on the banks of the Bush it didn 't get much better. Picture buttery, crunchy sourdough slices, cut generously thick and packed with hot oozing melted cheese. Flavour! They were accompanied by little pots of fresh pickled pear slices or fennel. Now THAT sweet and salty combo is genius ladies. I can see this place causing gridlock come summer. Yep it 's THAT good. If you 're a foodie this is the top place to visit on the north coast for my money. I feel I 've barely scratched the surface here and might have to return for more er research soon (so many cheeses so little time). Just delighted to have quality in such a beautiful spot. I wish we 'd taken photos but we were too busy scoffing the stuff!!! Ps Could I beg the girls to do a squeaky cheese with avocado and sweet chilli sauce too please? That would push it from 10 to 11/10!"

"I went into Manchester with my Daughter to eat yesterday without pre booking anywhere and we found ourselves struggling to get into the place we wanted to eat in due to long waiting times for tables. So we ventured into the murky backstreets of the Northern Quarter around Thomas Street with its overpriced bars. I've always been aware of hidden out of the way places to eat and drink and suggested we tske a stroll down Back Turner St. Which is dark and dirty but it does not reflect on the little places that are there. EL TAQUERO with its pavement level neon signs and a cook in his apron taking a break from his routine drew my attention. A small street level Authentic Mexican restaurant with welcoming staff. I said I know its not what we'd had in mind (we like Japanese Vietnamese food) but at 8pm on a Friday evening we knew that was not going to happen and we were hungry. I asked the waiter on the steps if they had a table for two he took us inside and there were about 10 tables and only 2 empty tables for two. We made our minds up to be adventurous and it was a fantastic gamble. Not being a fan of Natchos or those other crispy messy tacos etc. We were given a table by a Mexican waitress who was incredibly helpful and guided me through a menu of things I'd never even heard of. To get into the wonderful laid back atmosphere I ordered drinks to set the mood, my daughter just had water she was driving, while I ordered a bottled beer called Day of the Dead I.P.A. 6.8% it was excellent but I also had a shot of 1800 Reserva Reposado Tequila not fiery smooth warming. Food: we ordered 2 Camrejo Concha Suave Grandes these are soft crab tortillas served with pieces of cactus cooked with the crab and thinly sliced red raw cabbage and a other greens with shredded carrot. I was amazed that this whole soft crab was so delicious which the waitress explained they were put on the menu as a special for one week and regulars begged for them to be on the main menu ! we also ordered Camerones Baja two fat battered prawns on small flat tortillas with a sprinkling of raw vegetables served with 3 small dips of different tomatoes flavours one being made from red, green black tomatoes, stunning stuff ! Also ordered Chrizo Con Nopales on tiny flat breads which were mixed with cheese and very filling. We voided Guacamole Crema off the bill so we could end with hot churros with melted dark chocolate and coconut ice cream. I think £43 and a £5 tip for a fantastic waitress who gave us her undivided attention was a steal, for what we were introduced to, from a very extensive menu which was heavenly. Will I return....you bet xx"

"We had a confirmed reservation for six people on Saturday, December 8th, but upon arrival, we found the restaurant closed for the evening. It was incredibly frustrating, especially since we had made our booking in advance. I don't understand why restaurants can't ensure they are operating when they confirm reservations. Thank you, Cindy Lopez"
