"We fancied trying one of the multiple Mexican restaurants in Madrid last week and settled upon this one, booked via The Fork. We were warmly greeted by the manager/owner (not sure which because it’s possibly a chain in Madrid) on arrival and quickly seated. The decoration felt Mexican and the ambience was good as the restaurant was nearly full. As in many restaurants now, access to the menu was via a QR code on the table and a mobile phone. Both Spanish and English versions are available, albeit, there were more options on the Spanish version? Following drinks of Mexican beer and Spanish wine, we ordered Nachos to share for a starter and Fajitas/Chipotle Chicken as mains which came with tortillas to make up your owns tacos. The food was OK too much cheese on the Fajitas (our bad, we shouldn’t have asked for the cheesy version, the cheese made it very stodgy) and the Chipotle Chicken was served with just rice, which may be traditional but felt lacking. What spoiled our experience was that when bringing our mains, the waiter knocked over my wife’s wine in to the remainder of the nachos starter, ruining the remaining nachos and spilling wine in to the Chipotle Chicken. All he did was upright the glass and take away the spoiled nachos with no offer to rectify his mistake. Comically, there was guacamole sliding down the wine glass. I called the manager over and at first, he just tried wiping the glass until I insisted on a replacement. We let the spoiled nachos and wine splashes in the chicken slide (no pun intended) as our experience was marred by then. In summary, the ambience was good and the food acceptable with just the service letting it down. Mistakes happen, we accept, but in our case, it shouldn’t have been difficult to rectify."
