    The nachos and sweet potato chips were great to snack on! The platter was HUGE and full of caloriea and heartburn but awesomely tasty with risotto balls, wings, poppers, calamari, quesedillas & more!

    Starter portion of cheesy nachos was o so generous - this is one of the best spots in Cape Town for sure!

    Vegetarian fajita was amazing and large, tasty enchiladas and margaritas! Don't get the tacos - it's small & you'll be disappointed. Opt for nachos or quesdillas

    A ginger bread tequila? I don't mind if I do... add a bit of cranberry juice you say? What a fancy cocktail! 1 sip got me wasted and tasted like heaven on earth!! My invention. You're welcome :)

    This place deserves respect for creating the Gingerbread Tequila and the Iceberg (Lager with a frozen margarita top). Try both!

    Sugary margaritas; don't expect a traditional Mexican style. Still yummy, especially strawberry lime! Veg fajitas are my favorite thing on the menu.

    Cool place in a good location, with good service. But I think the fish tacos are underwhelming (it's basically fish sticks in a tortilla). Also, skip the margarita, it's from a slush machine.

    Not bad. The iceberg beer (beer with margarita) and the pulled pork tacos are worth a try. Service could be better

    Very dissappointing! 3poppers for 40bux and dry chicken in the enchilada with a gross tomato /corn flavor. Panchos is much better!

    Not the best Mexican in town as its popularly known for, try Panchos for that! Service is sub par, margaritas are bland and watered down and food is sub par!
