Reviews
The best & the only authentic Mexican food in Nelson was extremely scrumptious, however you may have to re order your mains because of the portion size. Loved the vibe of the restaurant. Definitely looking forward for our next visit!
Cute atmosphere and good drinks, but the food itself is pretty underwhelming. I feel people just think it's good because there aren't any other Mexican restaurants in Nelson to compare it to... Re-reviewing after a recent re-visit: It started off poorly where we were asked to come 15mins later as they had overbooked. A friend also mentioned how they were asked to come an hour earlier that week as "it was a quiet night". When we arrived the waitress refused to let us order entrees before mains - when we asked why, she said "I don't know". When the food came out they then missed one persons order all together and didn't even apologize. Finally when their order arrived, the male server had a mouthful of food while he was delivering the food. Overall, the food other than the twice-cooked chips was incredibly underwhelming and overpriced and the service was super unprofessional.
Such lovely decor and a really chill vibe. We enjoyed the margaritas at $18 a piece. The cerviche was excellent $24, although I would have liked more of it for the price, as we're the small tacos at $10 each - esp the fish taco yum! The coconut flan was delicious but I only remembered to photograph it when almost gone! The churros were a little over cooked, but still tasty. Would definitely return as the service was also friendly and fast.
Food is delicious, great service. The acoustic/sound is extremely loud and difficult to have a conversation with the people you are sitting with. Both times we’ve been. Would be particularly difficult for people with hearing loss. The most expensive Mexican restaurant we’ve been to, $20 for a chicken burrito with just your normal ingredients, yummy however!
Went for a friends birthday dinner.. Food is good.. but not amazing. I didn’t like the fact there was no option to order some sort of fried chicken… I ordered the chicken burrito which was yum but I wouldn’t go out of my way to go back there again.
We had yet another perfect Mexican meal here, the place was humming and it was obvious why! It was faultless, excellent food, great service and the decor is next lovely gorgeous. Hats off to Nicola and her team.
Awesome food the drinks were outstanding and there was healthy options
Went for dinner with a big group, it was very hot and the owner wouldn't let us open the door for air flow. Service was average no follow up with drinks etc. Food was fresh and tasty. Overall was OK but owner was rude and that doest make for a good environment.
Was disappointed. Have been before and loved the food and drink. This time, however, underwhelming. Food was not recognisable taste-wise as being Mexican, very bland . I had to ask for salt. Not spicy at all. Churros are normally a highlight.. But they were doughy inside. Plus it was a bit silly to serve the sauce in the wine glass. Very hard to dunk when you are at the end of a churro stick!! Waitress was cheerful and attentive but the chewing gum in the mouth was a bit off-putting. Raspberry margarita was nice...
Great place for a evening of fun with friends. Excellent Margaritas . Food is what you order. Order a burrito you get a burrito so order a couple of things if you are hungry.
