Came on a Wednesday for the all you can eat tacos. Servers come around with options asking you if you want any of them. We went near closing time and at the end they asked if we wanted any specific flavours before the kitchen closed. The options were: Beef Brisket, Chicken, Chorizo, Pork, Cauliflower, Fish, Mushroom Best were the brisket, the fish and the cauliflower. Especially the fish which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. But overall all of the flavours were very good. Staff were also very friendly.

Came on a Tuesday night for the $29 all you can eat taco deal. What happens is the staff will walk around with platters and offer you different flavours so you can choose what you want but without ordering. They came around frequently and staff were all very nice. Taco flavours were brisket, fish, pork, chicken, chorizo, cauliflower and mushroom. Unfortunately the pork must've been sold out or unavailable at the time as it never came around. The best 2 were by fay the brisket and fish tacos. Brisket was soft and juicy and the fish was freshly battered and crispy. Chicken, chorizo and cauliflower were all ok, not bad but far behind the fish and brisket. Mushroom wasn't very good in my opinion but it's good of them to offer vegetarian options. Overall, would definitely come back but might need to wait a bit for my stomach to recover from the feast first.

The atmosphere is great, the service impeccable and there are tasty drinks. However, the food held it back. Empanada was cold inside the Guacamole had no kick to it. The only good taco was the fish and even then you needed to add some salt. The pepper with goat cheese was pretty good though.

Great atmosphere with an authentic feel. Nice drinks and great food… our service was also really good and the food was prompt. We got the Set Menu number 2 and the margarita tree. I would probably suggest buying the drinks separate as you seemed to get a little more when purchasing them on their own, but the theatrics of the tree made it fun. Overall very good value per person. Would recommend for group bookings too.

We came during Caribe Carnaval (Sept '23) so thoroughly enjoyed our experience here. The latin food was excellent and the staff were incredibly friendly even though it was crazy busy. It wasn't cheap but certainly wasn't crazy expensive. Will definitely be coming back again!
