The ambiance was nice, but the experience overall didn’t wow me. For starters, we had the guacamole, which was just okay. For mains, we ordered two tacos that were very plain and tried the wagyu taco, which was also just okay. The chicken enchiladas were good, and the cocktails were definitely a highlight – delicious! However, the place didn’t blow me away, and for the value, I don’t think I’d return.

I have visited this restaurant once.

We tried several dishes but unfortunately none of them excited us.

They didn't taste very good, the tacos (or tortillas) were tasteless and the mains had a strange taste and texture, especially the bone marrow.

The staff polite and helpful.

I wouldn't choose it again

This was a superb culinary experience with a range of flavors evoking comfort, discovery and excitement among the array of dishes tasted. The drinks were amazing. The service was impeccable. The design of the restaurant was both playful and transporting. A definite must go!

I loved this. Every facet is curated and emits beauty. From the lighting to the utilitarian art, to the build of the bar, the seating, and the real plants; I would have made very similar choices. I had the oysters, a tamarind margarita, a waygu beef taco, and the MX taco, dessert was the corn and chocolate with ice cream.

VIsited this place to meet my Mexican friend from Korea during my college days. A upscaled reataurant offers not only the neat and savory Mexican tastes but also Mariachis performance every first Wednesday. Wish to visit here again next time when I come back to Madrid... and hoping for a luck that the day be another first Wedensday of the month!
