Reviews

Their salsa sampler was a bomb! Loved it. All the foods were good. Just some chips - you had to be lucky for stale vs crisp ones. And beef taco was bit tough. But would definitely come back again!

Great Mexican food. We had tortilla chips with delicious salsa and guacamole; chicken burrito, chicken quesadillas, sweetcorn “ribs” and sweet potato fries. It was all super tasty. The portions were large (we couldn’t eat it all). We had a glass or two of the lovely Italian wine (Vermentino) with the meal, Super friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend.

Excellent Mexican restaurant in Basel. Highly recommend to do a reservation in advance, as it's usually full. We went for Tacos and chicharrones. Guacamole is fresh and really good, same as the sauces. Nice staff and recommend experience for sure. Gracias!

Great size meal portions and Outside seating area. Toilets are not accessible and are outside the restaurant area. The pulled pork burrito was tastefull and the nachos with sauce + guacamole were ok.

Great restaurant, particularly the service. Shamefully eating very little because we had a late lunch and it was me plus a child,but they sorted us out for our late joiner and our supermarket yogurts. We had our shrimp bowl (cooked at just the right level) and pork tacos (proper ground corn tacos). Would absolutely come again.

Went here on a wednesday evening and it was very pleasant. We were two people and shared a sampler platter. The food was really good and our server was great! The restaurant was packed so i recommend reserving. Despite it being quite loud the atmosphere was still relaxed. Will be coming again!

Went there on a Tuesday evening. The place was quite full but the tables are not close to each other. So you can talk with the others easily. The service was really good. Always available and friendly. It was the first time there and they gave us good recommendations. Tuesday is tacos night. We went for it and ordered various types of tacos. All were very tasty. Good value/quality for the price. Recommended!
