Found the food extremely bland burritos was 90% rice, theres no atmosphere maybe a bit of music would help, definitely not worth the £35 per head new years package on the plus side the service was very friendly and

Gave this restaurant a go after others were full. Found the staff and their service great, but the food well below average. Nothing we couldn’t make at home, either from packet or well under seasoned. Wouldn’t recommend, and won’t be going back - sorry!

Excellent Mexican food + atmosphere!I’ve been wanting to try here for ages and it did it disappoint.We loved the burritos, fajitas and the enchiladas.The food was really hot and tasted delicious.The quality of the ingredients was brilliant and the atmosphere was really fun.A real gem. Thank you!Kid-friendliness: Lovely chicken fajitas with little spice for little ones - ideal for our 2 year old ??

Third visit to what was a fantastic restaurant.We had booked as, we were travelling for a wedding.The menu was more extensive but think this detracted from Mexican theme.The bar was busy.We felt ignored possibly because of clients at bar, who were rather noisy.

It's an ok restaurant. Nothing special. Couple of spider web infested cacti dotted around makes it a "Mexican" restaurant!Service is friendly. Food is tasty, but the two stars rating for the food is a reflection of the microscopic portions, especially in relation to the high prices.

Food not Mexican in the true sense, rice a bit flat, olives tasted a bit off salsa chicken no flavour. What made it pleasant was the staff, lovely, attentive, regular asked how we were nice drinks.

Nice and clean, welcoming, friendly staff. All food looks nice when being served to other diners in the reasturant. The wedges are cooked to perfection with a nice crisp coating, all the food looks and tastes flavoursome and very filling. Can be cold inside the reasturant,

We discovered this fabulous bistro during a few days stay in Penrith and just had to go back. We only wish we could stay longer!Compliments to the chef and hats off to waiter Sonny Nelson for speedy, efficient, and cheerful service.

We came here hoping for a really great Mexican meal but unfortunately all food was incredibly bland, no flavour and no seasoning. Two adults and one child and the bill including a tip came to over £100 so would expect much better than what we got. They were quite busy so might have just been an off night. Disappointing

The food was amazing, tasted incredible and the portion sizes were fantastic. Only criticism could be the service - was a Saturday so was busy, ee were booked in for half 7 and out table wasn't ready until almost 8 and service was slow however this didn't detract from how nice the food was.
