The ambiance was great, but the value for food wasn’t there for us. While the flavors were good, the portions were very small for the price, and there was no explanation of the menu that we may need to order double the food to leave full. The table next to use also seemed to have the same issue. Staff was friendly, and the vibe was nice. Worth a visit, but not sure we would come back.

The theme/decor of the restaurant was different and very nice. The area we were seated in was very nice and quite private but also quite dusty and a little dirty in places. The waiter was excellent and the food was very nice and full of flavour. However, the food was very expensive for the amount that you receive. I think that the fact you have to pay for each individual part of your dinner isn't great and the sides were very overpriced. £9 for some broccoli! £9!! Crazy! Would I return? Probably not. If the sides were a bit cheaper or if you had one included with the main at least then I would consider it as the food was very tasty but I did feel a little ripped off when paying the bill.

Really abominable. How on Earth could this be described as a Latin American restaurant ? This escapes us. No beers or soft drink menu. No beers available today, only wine which is very overpriced and mediocre. The staff ignored us for 10 minutes after we arrived and they were not busy. My main course salad was a tiny dreadful thing.. a starter at the most..a few leaves , a boiled egg and a couple of teaspoons of tinned tuna. Avoid it… what a complete rip off-of unimaginative , small and uninteresting tiny overpriced plates. Nothing Latin American about it apart from ? the background music? . I cook far better than this . No point in going out for this.Sainsbury’s could make you a better meal. Best avoided. Left hungry and disappointed. They could not have cared at all.Shame though as we didn’t want to spoil an evening with-a family member with whom we were having a reunion . Sad reality of rip-off London restaurants .
