"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."

Big fan of this guy. Not just his facial hair. He knows his drinks and super friendly, would recommend.

Food was tasty, but a little pricy but that’s to be expected in soho. The service wasn’t great and starters came before our drinks

Loved the food and loved the service, sat at the bar as we had not booked and it was full. I would happily recommend and we will return.

Great selection of drinks with a really delicious range of authentic Mexican food. Go with tacos and the jalapeño margarita … it bites back!!

Nice small menu makes you think the food will be executed well. However, the food was bland and extremely overpriced. Stingy flavourless portions. Service was also poor and rude at the end.

Gabriel was super nice and friendly and made us amazing jalapeño margaritas while we chatted a bit. The jalapeño salt is out of this world! Felt so tasty like I was having a full meal. Will come again just for that!

Went as fancied something different. Good vibe, good atmosphere. Great location. Food was limited and ok and very keen to get you served and out. If you’re after a quick (ish) snack then it’s great. Drinks are expensive for anything longer

Good vibe Extensive menu of original tasty tequila based cocktails The food was delicious would recommend the tuna and squid The service was disappointing. Difficult to get the attention of the staff, clearly didn’t want to be there and most were on their phones.

£50 for a small pitcher margarita, 3/4 full of mostly ice. Amount of actual drink no more than a large American glass of margarita costing $12 Prices of dishes appear reasonable but portions are small. Food is above average taste wise. Service friendly and courteous except a manager like figure who appeared a bit brash and asked us to move out of his way. Good atmosphere but music was a little loud for conversation
