Really enjoyed my first time here! The squash tostado was lovely and the beef tacos delicious. The star of the show was the corn side! Only reason it wasn’t 5 stars is the lack of any hot sauces or just available condiments, I was given an INCREDIBLE mango habanero sauce on request but wasn’t told it would cost. Also, the margaritas weren’t great. We raised it and were told it’s pre mixed and given a discount - So super appreciate that! The service is amazing. The team were all super friendly and welcoming. I’m told the burritos are life changing so cannot wait to come back and try,

The best Mexican in Bristol. The choices, particularly vegan ones, are some of the best I’ve come across. I’ve tried several of the options here and have never once been disappointed. Perfect portion size, absolutely delicious and a great choice of cocktails to go alongside. Definitely recommend making a booking and trying it out.

I arrived late here on a work trip and I was starving. The place was full on a Monday night and Leanna managed to find me a wee space and provided the best Burrito I’ve ever had.

We enjoyed this place in Bristol! Walked in at 6 pm on a Tuesday night without reservations, but they let us eat outside. Happy hour until 6 also. Our margaritas were great. I got tacos, the corn tortillas were freshly made. Another group member got a burrito, which she also loved. The service was excellent.

Came here to fuel up for a night out and was really overwhelmed by the level of service and all the amazing flavours! We hadnt made a reservation but were met by a lovely server named Tara that was able to accomodate us. She had great rapport and pyt up with my comment about heing brave for wearing a white tshirt when working in hospitality. Really liked being able yo choose the fillings for wither burrito, soft tacos or enchilada and opted to share 2 different fillings im taco & enchiladas which were utterly delicious. Also thought our starter was very generous, even when sharing. Lovely decor, and a wonderful sense of theatre watching the other staff flit about and make cocktails. Was also VERY happy to see aome film favourites on the cocktail menu. Already recommending and WILL be returning

Every time I eat here I come away feeling so uplifted. The food is delicious, the staff are incredible and the atmosphere is just magical. The fact that the restaurant is fully booked most evenings says everything. Despite how busy they are - the staff always go one step beyond. Can’t recommend more highly.

I never tasted tacos so good. I loved that smoky bacon chipotle, with guacamole and all sorts of other delightful flavours lurking in the bowl. And a dried pear and gin cocktail, whoever heard of such a thing? Devine. Freezing cold outside, steamy windows and lots of happy diners laughing and chatting their way through their little bit of Mexico.

Wow! What a find. Great food very large portions. Friendly service in a cozy environment. The resturant is small so please book or be disappointed. Great value and ideal location for The Exchange and Trinity Centre music venues.

Incredible tasting burritos (sh*ts all over tortilla), with friendly staff, quick service and cool decor. Walking in we were hit with the smell of fresh lime and authentic Mexican cooking. I’d say the meals were underpriced for what you get. Fresh ingredients, leaving you feeling like you’ve eaten a light, but comfortably filling meal. The bad reviews are laughably petty. Would definitely return - perfect place for lunch/Mexican.

Can't rate the food, only the service. Went on a relatively quiet Wednesday evening at 9 when the restaurant closes at 10. There were many tables available and I was told the kitchen was winding down and I couldn't be seated. 0/10 for customer service.

Return visit for an evening with friends and family from across the UK, and we were not disappointed. Once again we experienced Conor & the teams’ fantastic, warm hospitality, and amazing, beautifully presented food. Can highly recommend everything on the menu, as between us we sampled everything. The Mexican red wine went down very well too!! Great value and wonderful ambience. Can’t wait to return again! (Reservation recommended, especially on the weekend. It was busy!)

On a friend’s recommendation, we booked here while staying in Bristol for one night, and I’m so glad we did. It was happy hour while we were there so we had a couple of cocktails each, which were very good. The nacho starter was unbelievably delicious; so many flavours going on within the bowl. For mains, we had burritos (I had Mother Choriza, my girlfriend had Cubana ) and we both enjoyed every mouthful. Well, I say that; these burritos are so filling that both of us had to take one of the two burritos home cos we were just so stuffed. I think the staff (all of whom were friendly) are used to this because they offered to wrap up the remaining food for us before we asked. Brilliant food, lovely place, glad we went.

Went with my son and his partner as it was his birthday and he wanted a return visit to the place. It was Saturday lunchtime and they were busy - in fact busy all the time we were there - but we got seated outside which was great as it was a lovely sunny day. Although the menu small the food was delicious and freshly made on-site - no warming up pre-prepared dishes here. The waitress was friendly and helpful. The portions were generous so I took home half my burrito which they wrapped up for me - very delicious still later that evening. Would recommend and looking forward to a return visit. I do hope they may extend the menu a little too

Small but extremely tasty menu to close from. All authentic and fresh. Corn starting was amazing . Chose both burritos and tacos for main , great flavours . Beef tacos was the winner , chicken and choose burritos were still very tasty. Definitely worth a visit if you want original Mexican food in casual relaxed setting .

Got all excited after hearing there was a new Mexican restaurant in the centre of Bristol, but started to feel suspicious when I got there and found it poorly lit with deafening music. Suspicions were only heightened when our drinks arrived - Margaritas that were sugary with no taste of tequila anywhere. I could've overlooked all that though if the food had actually been good. The plantain and black bean taco was tasteless, I get that we're in the tailend of winter and stuff like plantain isn't exactly in season but I still don't know how you make something like that taste that little. The chorizo and chicken thigh taco just tasted of richness- if I had eaten it without knowing what it was, Im not sure I wouldve known. The cochinita pibil was also bland, and had none of the tangy richness I associate with it. All of this I could've chalked upto the kitchen having a bad night - it was very busy after all - but the thing turned me from dissappointed to genuinely angry was when the bill came and I had the card reader shoved in my face before I had a chance to read the bill and see that they had added a 10% service charge that hadn't been mentioned anywhere previously. In short, not a fan and won't be going back.
