Great service, great food. More of a “Tex Mex” than real Mexican, but since that’s what I prefer, it’s all good with me! I didn’t try the salad, but my Chicken Chimichanga was yummy enough and filling enough to make me not need it! We had garlic bread to start which was nice. Dessert was a nice spread, only problem was my brownie was slightly overcooked. They made up for it with all the little extras with the dessert, and it was very good and filling. Good prices, good portion sizes. Even my coke was in a nice big glass rather than those itsy ones you get most places. Even my hubby liked his chicken enchiladas, and he usually hates eating out Mexican. We will definitely be back!

Appalling. They are criminals for charging for their food – they should pay the customers to eat it! It is pretty hard to stuff up Mexican food, but these people have done it. Their beef enchiladas feature more thickening than real beef, the salads are a bowl with 5-6 premixed supermarket salads in there (bean, potato, carrot, egg, rice, pasta etc) and they come with a side of tumeric coloured/scented rice. The guacamole was a bulk food store premix, with a barely noticeable tease of real avocado. In addition, all three of us had grumbly stomachs the next day. Not enough to be real food poisoning, but our stomachs were definitely trying to reject the previous night’s dinner. I have never written a review like this, but I hope these owners go under. They deserve to. I’m still appalled that my mother paid the bill, but she didn’t want to create a fuss.

Absolutely appalling. They have no idea of putting the right ingredients together & the service was lousy. It gives the impression of being a Mexican restaurant but they don’t know how to cook Mexican food. When I ordered a drink, there was no one on the staff who knew how to mix it. It seems they are only relying on holiday makers who will come once rather than local return customers. As per the comment below, don’t waste your money.

Three owners change in the past three years should have told me not to try. Dishwasher as the head chef – who told us he doesn’t know how to boil water (was owned by (623 on the rocks) last time I visited. Just ripping of tourist as they shut during the slow time. I would give my money to a charity and stay without food rather than eating the prepared food from microwaves. I wish i can take the one star away.
