8.5/10Cool new spot in the neighborhood for interesting Mexican dishes, aside from the usual tacos. The food was good, in particular the conchinita pibil and the “posta ibérica en mole poblano”, but they all lacked salt. As for the desserts, the coffee flan was nice and original. The cheesecake was sweeter and needed an acidic contrast instead of the strawberry sauce, which was also sweet. The service was very friendly and attentive. A good experience in general.

8/10Third time I’ve visited. The food when it first opened was sensational- guessing the chef has now changed as it’s still very good but hasn’t hit the heights of its very early days. Dishes are best shared- fresh ingredients and great flavours and their cocktails are excellent. Also very good value for money. If you like Mexican this is one of the best in the Lisbon area

10/10Set in a residential area, this gem of a restaurant is unassuming, in its decor, yet creative and exquisite in the various dishes we tried. For main course, we ate meat, fish and vegetarian and all were excellent! The starters were mouthwatering and set high expectations which were entirely met. Kudos to the mocktails too!

10/10… although the menu is short, the food was amazing, friendly service, well presented food and all the dishes we chose are presented by the staff with explanations. Wonderful mocktails. A good surprise, we recommend!

6.5/10Staff is nice and food pricey. The music was extremely loud despite we had asked to lower it, which they did, but still, you couldn't have a conversation as there was always the background noise of Mexican pop music. Being a simple restaurant in a not so fancy neighbourhood, price is rather inadequate and the cost can easily reach 30/40 per person without anything to justify. I came here 2 times before in the last couple of weeks but this one was probably the last in a near future. There are much better options for Mexican food not that far away.

10/10Incredible flavors, beautiful presentation of food, ambiance perfect. BUT size of portions for cost will probably prevent us from returning. Just too expensive for quantity. We spent€100 and left hungry. If you are wealthy, then definitely eat here! Sad because everything else is 10/10.

8.5/10Very nice people and service. The food was good but a bit expensive for the quantity. Didn’t try the deserts, maybe next time.

9.5/10Fantastic service. Marina took time to explain everything very patiently and clearly. Authentic food (not the usual TexMex fare) with excellent Mexican chefs. Joao the owner was very welcoming and went the extra mile to serve up a special dessert for my daughter’s birthday. Will definitely be visiting regularly. A little suggestion would be to have English menus if possible.
