I took my boyfriend here as a surprise before the theatre, as a celebratory meal. It is definitely more style over substance, the food was okay (the highlight was the tuna tostadas) but it was just not not worth the money... I've had much better Mexican food at half the price! The staff put quite a lot of pressure on to order more food and we ended up leaving some as there was too much for us, which was such a waste. The cocktails were only average, so we quickly switched to beer. Overall it was extremely quiet and lacking in atmosphere. There were almost double the amount of staff than diners, who hung around the tables and chatted, making it slightly uncomfortable. As soon as you'd finished a dish they took the plate, almost to rush you along, despite it being empty! Overall, I was disappointed with my booking and it didn't feel like the special treat meal I had planned.

Delicious food and great service. Based on other reviews we were worried it was going to be too loud/dark but this really wasn’t a concern. A great vibe whilst still being able to enjoy your food and carry and conversation. Definitely recommend.

Lovely atmosphere and great drinks. The tuna taco was great but the rest of the food that we ordered was tasteless and the ingredients of those dishes did not fit together nicely. Would definitely visit the restaurant again but order something else.
