very friendly waiters. Nice place inside the Pueblo Español. Great opportunity to get to know it too. Octopus taco was the best. Octopus dish, the rice was bland.

All the dishes were very tasty, paella was exceptional. You can feel there like you are in a small and charming town. I really can recommend this place.

This was our first time here on Sunday afternoon and won't be our last. Besides the beautiful weather and setting outside on the terrace, the service and food was fabulous. We started with Mexgal spicy potatoes and beef burratas, followed by hake for me and Mexgal paella for my husband. All dishes were really fresh and delicious. We finished off by sharing the sponge cake with tequila, which was served by the waiter reciting a retual whilst pouring the tequilla over the sponge. An excellent dining experience. We got 50% discount through the Fork and free entry into Poble Espanol which was a big bonus too. Highly recommended.

All the food tasted amazing, great combinations of Mexican and Galician cuisine. The only disappointment was the Buritto - we were expecting a big rolled burrito but what arrived resembled two small tacos...

Sergio the waiter gave us a astonishing service. Very polite, charming and even giving food recommendations. It is true that the service speed was not so great. They had quite a few tables for only 2 waiters. Still a strong recommendation and a fabulous location inside the "Spanish village". Try the octopus tacos! They surprised us!

We went to eat over ther because place was highly rated. I dont know how did they possibly achive ratung that high with the food we got that day. Spicy potates were bought in frozen deep fryed with garlic mayo an cayenne pepper. I woul expect something something better for that price. Paella was reheated possibly cooked several hours before. The rest of food was ok. But i wouldnt come back am afraid.

The food is really good and the staff is super nice. However, it is overpriced, specially the drinks. €5 a regular beer and a vermut,.. Would not go back because of it.

This gem is actually in the Poble Espanyol, but entrance is free with booking. Having read previous reviews our expectations were high, and we were not disappointed. Friendly and professional service, food was excellent as was the wine advice. Would highly recommend,

The dishes are small and expensive, and can’t say that it was tasty to be honest, it was acceptable. The only things what we like are location and wine.

The restaurant is inside el Pueblo Español. The waiter provided a very good service, explaining what dishes contained, how to eat, recommendations, asked if the food was great, etc. Food was tasty and overall value for money. I would definitely recommend and come back.

Was a really nice Place but the amount of food was not filling at all. Was really looking forward to eating some nice burritos and tacos but when the food came we realized it wasn’t even enough for an infant to eat. The salad we ordered was supposed to be a nice, rich Mexican salad but instead it was comparable to a salad you can get at your local supermarket. Other than that the location and the service were great but I wouldn’t recommend you going there unless you want to eat gourmet overpriced Mexican food...

It was really refreshing trying this fusion food of Mexico and Galicia, with wonderful flavours that really surprised us. Sergio, the owner was fantastic in explaining and recommending dishes. The "vieiras mariachi", Scallops with fideuas were amazing. We also enjoyed the Pulpo with a secret sauce with squid ink and olives which was a spectacular new taste that I would go back for. It is really worth going to this place, it is gastronomy that makes you travel and not the same old paellas that bore you. We will go back for sure.
