Have been here before and didn't mind the food, however 2 weeks ago was a different story. I was feeling sick so ordered some tacos and fried chicken from these guys on Uber Eats, price tag wasn't cheap but hey, its to be expected. When it arrived, it left a lot to be desired. 4 little cubes of meat in each taco, a few pieces were raw but they were all cold accompanied by jack all other fillings. The fried chicken was overcooked but some of the pieces did taste nice as they were just teetering on overdone. 40 odd for an unsatisfactory lunch that left me feeling worse than I already was. Dunno what's happened to you guys but up your game.

Great little place for a cheap feed. Definitely try the loaded fries and black Doris plum margarita. Friendly staff and fun atmosphere

Went for dinner to this place. Long awaited outing after the lock down. A waitress of white descent served us. The less said the better. The service she dished out to all in the restaurant was deplorable. She was not in the least courteous, seemed overly stressed and walked about like a chic on hot coals. The food is great but I would have to rate the service as third class. I hope this lady does learn the fact that she is in the food/ service industry.

Quite possibly the worst customer service I have ever experienced. I came to the restaurant with a group of friends and we found an empty table outside which hadn’t been cleaned yet. We asked the waitress if we could sit there to which she rudely replied no, it hasn’t been cleaned and she’s got other things to do. We said we didn’t mind waiting and asked how long it would take before she could clean it and she simply stated that she didn’t know. She was incredibly unprofessional and had absolutely no interest in serving us. She didn’t offer any alternatives (such as offering us a table inside) and instead chose to ignore us. As this is the second time we have received such terrible service from this restaurant, we decided to go somewhere else instead. Definitely won’t be eating here again.

Better for a lunch date of tacos or a boozy night with snacks and mates than a full dinner night out. A fun, funky Mexican place with focus on fresh flavours and a degree of authenticity - and they've recently added nachos, which they didn't use to have! WIN! The best thing on the menu is the range of tacos - fresh, delicious, with lots of variety. However, taco means snack in Spanish, and they take that literally - these 3-bite size morsels are great, but you're going to need something else to fill you up, or bring your wallet for a taco fest! There are a range of other options, though: a nacho plate that is very filling for one person, burritos and so on. They're not going to break the bank and are large and filling. Great for a lunch. Great for an afternoon of tacos and sangria. Great for nachos and beer. Great if you've planned the money for a mexican banquet. But plan for it if you're planning to gorge on tacos.

Great place to go for a date, family and friends. Wonderful view and very good staff. We are looking forward to going there again (probably a few times over summer).

Was skeptical about going here based on the other reviews but me and 4 of my friends had such a good time at the bottomless brunch. The waitresses were so attentive and nice will definitely recommend and come back.

Great spot. It has potential, just unfortunate about the awful service. I’ve never been spoken to so poorly and won’t be returning.
