    Experience very similar to the Almada location, however, this visit fell slightly short compared to my previous experiences in Almada, both in terms of consistency and overall quality.

    The description of the burger didn't say they was extra other meet of pork than the bacon , so we had to ask for another burger that came late...it is shame that the description doesn't correspond what they actually serve

    It is always a surprise. Sometimes is amazing. Sometimes is terrible. My salad had a funny taste. And my night did not went well. Been there several times, but will never be back

    Food was okay. The steak was excellent but the tacos and the quesadillas were not it. Lacked flavour and the meat was very dry. But the entrecote was wonderful

    As one reviewer already noted, the current restaurant layout is more suited to groups than couples. I think I would have enjoyed my experience more as a couple if there were more comfortable seating options available. Although the ribs were delicious, the fajitas were underwhelming, nothing like the authentic dish you get in Mexico. The alcoholic cocktails were a little too sweet and not spirit forward. I would return for the rib selections.

    I feel like this restaurant doesn’t have a standard. Everytime I order the same thing, and everything the amount of chicken is different :) However we really like their food! Staff is nice and ambiance is chill.

    The food was great, I choose the big boss burguer, the Burguer was really big, more than enough for an adult

    It was great experience, first time visiting this place and definitely not the last one! nice staff, especially Yuriy was very attentive and polite, also made some changes in menu as requested, we ordered hamburger, steak and ribs. Everything was really tasty and big size! The most pleasant part was price, cause with 50% discount it was very reasonable. Recommend this cozy place!

    The food wasn't tasty at all. Plain and simple. Not worth to pay for that, sorry.
