    We enjoyed the food and service was good, but the music was so loud we couldn’t talk to each other. It was only 6:00, but it felt like we were in the club. I brought my 5 family members and it was hard to have a conversation. The spicy margarita was delicious though.

    The food portions are small for the price, but Bruce the owner’s dog was a big plus.

    Forgot to bring a dish and one drink. Added extra drink to the bill. Food was mediocre at best, overpriced and very small dishes.

    Food was excellent, vibe was great (albeit maybe not great for young families inside). Service was inexplicably below average. We waited for a loooooong time for our meal, so much so serving staff came by to ask if we’d finished eating and they could clear our plates before the meal had even arrived. Had to ask multiple times for everything, water, cups, napkins. I know there are busy nights, but this was not great at all. Food was delicious though.

    Liked the location and outdoor seating. Unfortunately, the restaurant lost our order and we finally had to remind them we had not received our food. They were nice and comped our meals, but unfortunately we were not impressed with the food. Very bland and lacking flavor.

    They couldn’t accommodate a basic avocado allergy. The service was slow and the tacos were okay, at best.

    I reserved a table for a birthday party at 6pm and when I arrived I was told that the restaurant is closed. After show my reservation confirmation the person at the restaurant told me that she’s alone and has other stuff to do now. We then went to another restaurant across the street and ate there. During our dinner I saw the person from Malacopa standing on the street and smoking cigarettes several times. No words!

    This place is probably a good place to have drinks and finger food. However, it’s hard to call it a restaurant with a décent amount of food. It could be associated to a « tapas » type bar. The amounts were very small and would require to order many many plates to consider it a métal. The food in it self was very plain. The tacos had barely any filling. It can hardly be called mexican. I would definitely not recommend it as a place to go as a family with kids.

    Thank you very much for your review Daria. Yes the idea is exactly that! Mexican city type of tacos, small and tasty, For the client to have variety and taste different flavours. That has been our concept since day one and we feel that our clienta love it like that. Thank you for your feedback and hope to see you again!

    We were in Portugal for fall break and went to this restaurant to celebrate a friend's birthday. They gave us a nice place to sit with a view, 10/10 food, and gave us all free shots to end the night. A can't miss if you are in Cascais, Portugal and want to have a good time.
