Reviews
I really cannot recommend this restaurant enough. Hands down one of the best Mexican restaurants I have eaten at. We visited on a trip to Portsmouth in August. The food was delicious. From the nachos, the burrito, tacos and ribs everything had great flavour and was cooked well. The best thing for me was the plantain dessert, sweet with a sorbet (works great for me as I don’t eat dairy ice cream). We were a table of 4 and all loved this place and would love to return. The restaurant is accessible, you enter on the same level and toilets are on the same level, although not sure about if there is a disabled toilet (wide enough if you are a wheelchair user). I love that the menu is clearly marked with allergens and when questions were asked they were answered without difficulty. They were short staffed on this day, and though when we got in it wasn’t that busy, that soon picked up. We continued to receive great service. Johnny looked after us, and cannot thank him enough. Wish I lived closer, as would love to be a regular!
Staff were lovely. Place was a little chilly, so staff turned the heating up. Food was some what more grease than I would have liked. Still, it was tasty. Service was included on the bill.
It's the best burrito ever. Found this great place with 20 minutes before our train. It's authentic and so tasty. The two guys who run the place were so friendly. ????????
Food was delicious, staff exceptionally friendly and decor was bright and clean. Really enjoyed our meal. 2 minutes from Portsmouth Guildhall and Station. Slightly off the main road an maybe not obviously signposted but we'll worth searching out
This place is amazing! So nice to have something different in this area rather than another chain restaurant. The food was delicious you could tell it was freshly prepared, and cocktails are to die for! The service was second to none. Already looking forward to going back very soon!
