Tried this place a couple times recently, I like it. It's a relaxed atmosphere with good subtle music and friendly staff. The food both times has been quite tasty and fresh. Will definitely be back for more and can imagine it'd be a great place to eat during the light late summer evenings! Only recommendation I'd suggest for the place is to maybe offer fresh made drinks like a Limonade or variations. Glad to have come across this place!
Brilliant dinner! Great food and good atmosphere. Stopped by for a snack and a very good choice. Had 3 tacos for £9 and some beef birria dirty fries, with a side of Pico de gallo. The food was delicious, street food style and of a very good standard. Served quickly and freshly prepared. Lively mexican music and added to a party atmosphere. If you're passing and fancy a traditional topped taco or burrito, quesadilla etc. you really can't go wrong. Great staff too. Apparently the freshly squeezed watermelon margaritas are incredible. Nice place. Will definitely be back!
My wife and I tried this place last year and loved it. Mexican is not normally my go to but we were really impressed with the food drinks and staff. So much so we kept telling my brother who lived in various places around Mexico for years that next time he comes to visit he must try this place. We were keen to get his opinion on the food to see if it was as good and authentic as we believed it was. His words after trying his first taco were “this is fire” he said the food is banging and legit and we returned several times during his visit back to the UK. The staff are brilliant, friendly and attentive, the food is amazing, the cocktails are well priced and tasty. When the sun is out and the latin music is playing this place has a great vibe. Easily our fave spot in Basingstoke!
Had takeaway from this place this evening and I am hugely impressed. The people at the counter were really nice and friendly. I ordered a mushroom burrito , a mushroom quesadilla and nachos. All three were exceptionally tasty and fresh. The spice they use is very hot and flavourful. Good amount of fillings in everything. My friend, however, didn’t care for the nachos much.
Amazing food and such lovely staff/community vibe. Had a delicious fully loaded up chicken piril burrito! And some nachos which I have a pic of!
