"My brother and I are regular eaters of the restaurant, like 3,4 times a wk eaters. 2 wks ago, I took my 5 year old daughter in and asked to use the toilet. The guy behind the counter said no. I replied that all the public ones are closed and she 's desperate. He said, "Well.... I can 't help you. After a couple of minutes of pleadings with him, he said I have to buy something and pay for it first. I said OK. But u need to pay now, I said before she can use the toilet? He said yes. I paid £11 after telling him to just make anything that would cover the cost of my 5 year old using the toilet for a wee. A wee, which didn 't happen because she already wet herself by him refusing her access to the facilities and telling me I have to buy and pay upfront for something first. Never again. And I will be letting my followers know of this."

Kept coming up on my timeline, so had to visit when passing. Sharing nachos and jalapeno poppers were great. Will come back for a meal.

Hired the 1st floor function room for a celebration The only downside was the temperature in the room unfortunately was cold all night despite the tiny heater which kept being switched off by staff !!

Awesome food, great people and family oriented. Real diamond in the dirt. The staff could not do enough to make it a happy and memorable experience. Big thanks to Adolfo and Jose for making our dinner experience one to remember. They do some awesome cocktails too!!

Got takeaway for dinner but went in to order the restaurant is really clean, the staff are very helpful also. The food was amazing, only thing I would tweak a bit is make the large burritos a bit bigger but it’s still very tasty. The fajitas, churros empanadas are great also. I had some cocktails they were perfect ! Would definitely visit recommend for authentic Mexican Cuisine View menu

This was the worst Mexican food we have ever tasted. It was flavorless, greasy, and very heavy. We requested corn tortillas but received something unidentifiable. The wine selection was disappointing. The restaurant was uncomfortably cold. The waitress attempted to make things right by offering to have another meal prepared for us. I declined, but my husband accepted the offer. Unfortunately, the second meal was essentially the same as the first.

I got a delivery, which was 15 minutes later than the expected delivery time. Food turned up luke warm and tasted pretty average. I ordered a quesdilla and nachos to share. The nachos were £12 and was half a shop bought bag of crisps shop bough pre grated mozzarella cheese on top, the mince and chicken again were Luke warm. Extremely disappointed at the lack of effort put in for a 'Mexican ' restaurant. I expected home made not shop bought as I could have done better myself for less than £5.

"this use to an old favorite restaurant of us many years ago before it changed the hands. we saw the alex polizzi TV program, but since then did not have the opportunity to visit. we have booked online. when we arrived, I tried to explain that we had reserved online, but the waitress did not seem disturbed, nor did she check. she wanted to tell us that the pizza oven didn't work so there were no pizzas or garlic bread etc. it was good to say before we came to our table and we appreciate it. the food was excellent and the chef came out a few times to check that everyone enjoys his meals, which was a very nice note. the waitresses were very pleasant, but seemed to have confidence in what they did. there were some confusion about our weeping mission, which was our fault. we were not offered when we arrived, and it was only after they came for our food order that we could ask for drinks. there was a pretty wait for our appetizers (tomatenbruschetta and mushroom bruschetta) and then the main dishes (tomatenwurst al forno and lasagne), but if that is what it takes to prepare the excellent food we enjoyed, then it is worth it. we also think that we are too familiar with restaurants that almost food of not particularly good quality. overall a very good experience and we will return. Perhaps the waitress could do with a little, but more workout to improve her confidence."
