   Food was ok, corn was solid, beef rib was pretty good but then it’s all down hill. The chicken nancho’s had like no chicken in it, we asked if they accidentally gave us the veg option to it and she came back with a new one however she said there was a little in there but here’s a new one. It was ok, but I appreciate the service. We got a few of the tacos and they were ok at best, birria was flavourless, pork shoulder taco had a bit too much of a kick but missing everything else. Also overflowing everywhere. Food wasn’t bad but I expected more from the reviews I’ve seen and heard(tiktok influencers always hyping it up far more than it deserves) The drinks were fine, I don’t know about the tajin on the rim but whatevs, it was a solid bev. It was our anniversary, I quite clearly wrote that in the notes, asking for a quiet table in the corner, ideally a both or something. Booked ahead. Got there on time. We were seated at the bottom of the stairs in the busiest loudest part of the restaurant, we had some blokes next to us having after dinner drinks that were yelling at the tops of their lungs next to us. Overall just disappointed, I can see it being a vibe for a bottomless bunch with friends or something but I think not the kind of place for a nice dinner for two.

   Booked this for our one year wedding anniversary weekend, and we were very disappointed. In the booking, we were asked to provide a note if there was a celebration, which we did...and there was not one single mention of a congratulations or anything. Why bother asking. The noise levels were extreme, to the point we could barely hear other, and couldn't wait to get out of there. As it was the weekend, we had to opt for the feed me menu, which was fine...however, within 5 minutes of sitting down, 4 dishes had already arrived, leaving us feeling like we were rushed and against the clock. The food, whilst plenty of (almost too much), was unremarkable and pretty bland in flavour. The staff appeared distracted, to the point of removing my not-yet-finished cocktail when I said I didn't want to order another drink. Overall, a very disappointing experience as it was something we had very much been looking forward to.

   Amazing food, delicious cocktails and nice service. Great value the bottomless brunch. Get prepared for the chicken if you like spicy food 🥵

   Booked for 14 ppl for a 21st. Food great, quite cramped and noisy but that’s fine for this group, maybe not so much for a romantic dinner for two. Decor was fun. Service a little disorganized but staff were trying to cope with having to do manual ordering as the electronics were on the fritz. Once the food started coming it was plentiful and generally very good. Drinks menu was a little limited but it was Mexican-themed, so no real issues from me there. Overall we were well fed and went away happy with the dinner. Would definitely go back to try some of the stuff that wasn’t on the set menu!

   Food was delicious for both the vegan and standard menu - the pre-theatre show was excellent value and the drinks were 👌

   We were very rushed from the second we walked in. We were forced to have the set menu. Their WiFi wasn’t working so we had to pay cash. The food wasn’t great. Cabbage and more cabbage!

    Bottomless brunch was great. Delicious food- we loved all the different courses. Service was perfect, very quick turnaround on drinks. Usually bottomless brunches can be a bit stingey on drinks but our server was so onto it. Loved the vibe and great value for money. 12/10
