   Food was great, we did have to wait for all the tables drinks to come for about 25 mins and ask several times where the remaining drinks were. Was also very noisy, but probably can’t be helped with the space.

   Food was very bland. Meat was very dry in the tacos.

   We are cealiac, so being able to dine somewhere completely gluten-free is amazing. Will definitely go back!!

   Only one waiter seemed like they wanted to serve us. We were placed into a tiny table in the corner when a booth maybe would’ve been more appropriate. You could definitely feel a big difference in the way we were treated to other patrons. Whenever we were calling people over we were being blatantly ignored, so calling for our next dish became more awkward and uneasy than it should’ve been. When we tried to order at the bar, but were told it was a seated service (understandably). Overall, highly disappointed as I brought friends and family to a restaurant that I talked highly about, just to have bad service and mediocre food. On my birthday mind you :((. I told the one waiter who was nothing but nice of the good job she did ! She knows who she is. The rest? At least fake a smile..

   We did the $60 feed me menu. I’m Gluten and diary free so they were able to accomodate. Everything on the menu is gluten free which is FAB!! The fish taco … yummmmmmmm

   I had big hopes taking my boyfriend here as the time I went the food was excellent. This time we didn't have the most amazing experience, the person who was 'welcoming' us in didnt seem to happy we were there, not smiling and dumped us at a table in the middle of the restaurant whilst another lovely table was getting cleaned even though I had asked for a nice table for our anniversary. When asked to move she didnt seem too impressed, but acquiesed which was lovely. Our actual server was really lovely, explained things to us about the Mezcal and was knowledgable on the menu but the drinks were very slow, I think it took like 30 mins and we had eaten half our food and had no drinks which was weird. Some of the food like the tostadas and the tacos were ok, nothing to blow my mind but the beef ribs where incredible. Churros were overcooked and too crunchy but the sauce that went with it was lovely. Overall it was an ok experience, the bill was quite costly at over 200 for 2, and I dont feel we got the experience that was worth the money. Its unlikely that I will be back I am afraid.

   The food was pretty good, however I was very disappointed with the service that we got during our visit. I had a table with 20 people. It was a special occasion for my partners 30th birthday which the restaurant knew about. Drinks took a long time to come to the table, some drinks never came. The staff took away half drank drinks when we weren’t looking. We were rushed the whole night, staff brought us our dessert at the same time as our bill, when we had settled the bill they then kicked us off the table because other people needed it but we hadn’t finished our dessert so we had to take the churros with us on the go. Very disappointed considering we spent so much money with them and they knew it was a special occasion. Unfortunately for this reason I would not come back.
