    overpriced, 13€ for 1 taco is crazy, bill was around 60€ and we left the restaurant hungry, customer service was not great either, no wonder it was empty

    Great staff, very knowledgeable on all dishes. Super Mexican food, service and setting. Tuna app and pork taco's are the best.

    I’ve been to this place many times in the past and this time was way different. The menu has shrunk and quality of food degraded. To top it off My wife’s purse was stolen while we were eating…. Avoid, now a literal tourist trap.

    The ambiance was beautiful and the staff was quite nice, but for a restaurant on the higher end, it didn't really hit the spot. The food was beautifully arranged, but there wasn't any explosion of flavours. In addition, the aguachile had a couple of pieces of fish that didn't taste super fresh. The biggest disappointment was the octopus that was quite chewy and the potatoes didn't have a lot of taste. Also, soft shell crab taco was beautiful, but it lacked salt and a bit of salsa. All the food was good (but not amazing) in general and the setting is beautiful, but for the price, I expected much much more. I don't regret it, since I wanted to try it for a long time, but won't be coming back.

    Great care taken over ambience and look of restaurant, table overlooking kitchen and work therein was good. Lovely attention by waiters but had to remind them of our wine and coffee orders. In general it was a very interesting look at Mexican cuisine.

    Excellent food and presentation. It took some time for our service to start, but once our drink order was placed, our servers were really attentive . We travel frequently to Mexico and loved this meal!

    The place is great! I come from a Mexican background and this was definitely authentic Mexican food! The only downside is that it is expensive, although all ingredients are fresh and premium I don’t know if we will be paying 28€ for 3 steak tacos again. Definitely a great experience if you are in Barcelona looking to get authentic Mexican food and great service. Just beware the prices are not Mexican ????

The atmosphere was lively and fun, with great music and friendly service. I especially enjoyed the fresh guacamole and the delicious tacos. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a tasty and enjoyable dining experience

    Its a typical tourist trap. Expensive and the food quality and taste isn’t reaching the level of the price. Don’t go if you are vegetarian or vegan, they offer only three starters for veggies and we got the story, the Mexican cuisine isn’t for vegetarians.

    Excellent as usual. I used to travel a lot to Mexico. Oaxaca is high quality and real Mexican food. Not cheap though.

    Good and real Mexican food. Pricy. 16€ for 3 oysters as a starter! If you are not a connaisseur, the explanations provided by the waitress are often too quick and unclear. However a very good experience.
