    great food and good service. the menu is very extensive and the place is both date and family friendly. the only reason it was not a 10/10 for me is because we got put in a table that was a bit in the way and was a bit awkward, also got an issue with my astham due to a dusty TV.

    Busy restaurant and has a nice vibe. Service is good although I really hate only digital menus available. I much prefer a proper menu to peruse. Food is good value when booking the deal through the fork. I found the food to be a little on the bland side, it was ok but I wouldn’t rush back.

    Food room ages to arrive and the pork ribs was cold while the beef ribs were too tough. Salad was a scam. Burger was good

    Staff was extremely approachable and helpful. We came in for a quick bite on a short notice and there was a table for us and service was fast. Food tasty and portions a good size. Nice modern presentation.

    It's a nice place to eat Mexican food if you are looking for that Friendly service, but the music should be a bit lower.

    The restaurant was Ok and the atmosphere was nice as there was the Portugal game on. The food was average, some plates did not arrive, we were a big group.

    While we were there, the staff was lazy. We sat down at 7 (while our booking was for 8) outside having drinks. We ordered and the staff didn't tell us our order was not included in the discount from thefork. He first tried to pull a fast one, giving us the bill without the discount from thefork. We asked for the discount. They gave us the discount only on 2 products. We were ordering food in from of the waiter and he did not tell us our order was not included in the discount. We politely asked the server to check thefork's menu with us to show him what it said. He refused and became hostile so we told him we wouldn't pay that bill and that we would call the police. He became aggressive and hostile once again. He started to attack my intelligence and logic following abilities. He started to escalate in a table full of lawyers. Horrible.

    My recent visit to Contrabando left me with mixed feelings. Despite having made a reservation, I was seated outside, which was unexpected. While I understand the constraints faced by restaurants, clearer communication about seating arrangements would have been appreciated. Unfortunately, the service fell short of expectations. Our server seemed overwhelmed and inattentive, resulting in delays in taking our orders and receiving our food. Disappointingly, the dishes arrived after a long wait, indicating issues with kitchen coordination. On the positive side, the menu offered a variety of Mexican dishes, albeit with mixed results in terms of flavor and presentation. While some dishes were enjoyable, others lacked finesse and authenticity. In conclusion, my experience at was somewhat disappointing. Despite the pleasant outdoor ambiance, the cold service and inconsistent food quality detracted from the overall dining experience.
