Very good food and generous portions. Dog was allowed to terrace and apparently inside cause they asked wether we want to eat inside or outside and they clearly saw we had dog with us.
The birria tacos and burritos were really delicious. If i would order churros for desert, i would deffinitelly give 5stars. Sadly the churros were really weird - hard on outside, gummy inside squirted with not delicious weird chocolate sauce, so it left bittersweet aftertaste after the great main meal experience
I absolutely loved this place! The food was excellent but the service was equally good. The lady who served me was so kind and friendly. It was my friends birthday and I wanted a desert packed discreetly. The lady very sweetly gave me so many firecracker sticks because I didn’t have candles. The Birria tacos were 10/10 and the Mango chilli Margarita was so yum!
Honestly the food was pretty bad, my nachos were bland and had barely any cheese (and they completely left off the onions). The chips did not taste fresh either. If you've had authentic Mexican food this will be a huge disappointment, but if you have enough tequila I'm sure everything would taste amazing. All the staff was very friendly.
