One of my favourite places to eat in Galway! I’ve been here many times, and the food is consistently amazing. Friendly staff, generous portions, and authentic flavours. In my opinion, it’s the best Mexican restaurant in Galway. Highly recommended!

Response from the owner

Thank you Catalina for your review!!! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the food and service. We truly appreciate your support and look forward to welcoming you again soon! 💃💃 …

Used to come here on a weekly basis. The staff (of mostly south american origin i.e where proper burritos originated from) were always smiling and delightful to interact with and made delicious burritos. Then in the last few weeks/months, budget staff took over the running and turned yet another Galway establishment into a bollywood takeaway.

RIP to yet another business that has sold-out and contributed to further "cultural enrichment" of the country (with those from a country of 2 billion...).

Really nice food, but the server Amel was really rude and kind of aggressive. I ordered a small burrito but he gave me a medium one, when I said sorry I think I ordered a small, he aggressively replied that I did not, and wouldn’t accept anything I said, he was also just generally rude and intimidating . Disappointing service as I do like the place
