I visiting years ago when you didn’t have a restaurant and it was some of the best food I’d ever had to was exiting to try your food now you have a restaurant so I travelled 3 hours to get there and pre booked for lunch. When we arrived the staff weren’t very friendly sat us right by the door so kept getting the cold air and breeze on us. The music was so loud couldn’t hear each other speak and the lady was polishing cutlery so loud that it’s all we could hear at one point. I was excited to try the Noel burger but for £16 it was really disappointing there was barely and turkey in the burger and it was small for the price not worth £16. I also got the yuca fries which was also a very small portion and where basically just covered in feta cheese I had barely any avacado. The staff didn’t check back to see how are meal was we weren’t offered any desserts so we just got up and asked for the bill.

Very kind staff, helped us get a table an hour before our original reservation time and gave us a nice table nevertheless. The food was amazing, we loved all the gluten free options and it tasted great!

The service was a bit slow and they kept bringing food and drinks that were meant for another table. I ordered the pork which was dry and tough. My friend had the tropical burger which she enjoyed however. So pretty average overall.

Amazing food served hot and fresh. Delicious Latin American flavours. I tried the Borough22 donut X El Pollote collab and that was well worth it. I'll be back again for the rest of their usual menu. The staff were phenomenal as well, super friendly, super efficient. We sat downstairs which was really cool. Super cool decor.

They messed up my birthday reservation. Apparently there was a special event with a set menu. They tried to inform me but made a typo in my email, but then kind of blamed it on me. The table was only available for an hour, so we had a drink and left. They brought guacamole as a gift but then later charged for it. Never seen anything so unprofessional.

I had the pork but it was so tough I couldn’t bite into it. I was then given a different main after complaining but the chicken didn’t taste that fresh and I wasn’t a fan of the sauce coating. My friend also tried it and felt the same. Overall food was very disappointing. On top of that we were seated by the kitchen and half way through our meal a chef started hacking at their freezer trying to remove all the ice, we struggled to hear each other talking and it ruined the atmosphere.

Food was expensive and not incredible - £60, no drinks - (salad, 4 corn tacos with meat and a portion of corn, and a burger and chips) and burgers come without sides. It wasn't bad food, just the price of it all caused a bitter taste in my mouth. Service was great, music was quite loud but that's alright for some people!

We were charged for something we didn't consume and we could feel a tense atmosphere among the staff. Service could be a bit quicker. And 12.5% of service charge for what we got was crazy. But food was delicious. Thank you!

We had a fantastic meal at a Mexican restaurant! Walter, one of the staff members, was incredibly attentive and made our visit even more enjoyable. The food, especially the burger, was wonderfully spicy and delicious – we absolutely loved it! The desserts were phenomenal as well. Highly recommended!

Food was not as good as I’d hoped from reviews. I ordered the pork belly, but sadly had to sent it back. Could see how dry it was when it arrived. Tried to eat it, chewy, dry and not very edible. Had to send it back. Replaced it with a burger, which was ok, but as made of thigh not so good with texture. Did taste nice. Chicken wing starters were amazing! Cocktails good too. Would I return, I wouldn’t rush back sadly.

Good attentive service although the waitress clearing away our plates was a little too keen and cleared away food we were still eating. Food was decadent and morish, although portions were very small and didn't represent the best value.

Unfortunately we did not all receive our food at the same time, so one in our party had to wait an additional 5-7 minutes. The music was also very loud. But the food was amazing, and the staff were kind.

Food was excellent, chicken burger was particularly good. Service was just ok, and there was a really unpleasant smell of cigarette smoke in the restaurant as people were allowed to smoke at the outside tables.

A late Sunday night dinner, so not a huge crowd. Nice atmosphere though and some reggaeton bangers on the playlist! Me and my wife loved our visit and were treated like VIP’s all night. We had a mix of tequeños, wings, and the half chicken - all excellent, I could have eaten JUST wings, they were THAT good. Will definitely be back
