I dislike when Yelp presents bad reviews from 6 years ago. That's pretty unfair. Also Americans expecting authentic Mexican food in London should re-examine their reasons for travel. I'm from Southern California so I know Mexican food. There is not a large Mexican population in London to provide the kind of authentic menus like you will find in London Indian restaurants. But after days of pub food, Indian and Italian we decided to give it a try. This is a nicely decorated little restaurant with a nice attentive staff. Was the food different from what we were used to? Yes, but it was very tasty. My wife had chicken tacos served on a large platter with separate portions to build your own taco. They had Mexican rice but no refried or black beans or lettuce for the tacos. The tacos were hard shell. I had fajitas and they were very good but served without a side of rice. The portions were very large. If you are in Pimlico, close to Victoria station, give it a try

Cute little Mexican place right by Victoria station. The service was very good and the food was fine. We ordered two fajitas, chicken and steak, and a chorizo quesadilla. We were really hoping to get some rice and refríed beans but no such luck. The fajitas came with guacamole, sour cream, cheese and red sauce. No lettuce like the US but it was fine. Would we return, probably and I would recommend.

A fairly standard Tex-Mex place, of the kind you go when you're a student and want margaritas in large jugs. The cocktails are pretty sugary and heavy on the juice and syrup (right up my street, but could be disappointing to anyone who has an alcoholic palate that isn't as childish as mine!), and the food is fine. You certainly wouldn't think you were in Mexico, but it's filling, the portions are large and it's not *bad* food - it's just rather unmemorable.

If you're looking for a romantic or special night out, this is not the place, but for a bite pre- or post-drinks, or a fun place to have a few sugary cocktails with some nachos and relive your student days, it's perfectly good!

I cant really fault the service of this place. I went here with a group of friends. They accommodated our random growing group size (started at 2 and ended at 6). They gave us maracas to shake as we danced to their music. They didn't falter when we ordered desert, drinks, mains and starters together and in the wrong order.

The food was good too. I'll definitely go back.

Typical Mexican restaurant. Nice food and joce staff. Nothing special but nice place for a quick bite in the evening

As someone who was raised on Mexican food (real Mexican food) I was disappointed. I know I should not be entirely surprised as Mexican food has yet to make in in the UK but at least the restaurant did a few things right.

You might laugh when you walk in, but 5 Stars on decor. I have to admit,it  is just like home. So it was nice to walk in and feel that little bit of cheesy warmth.  Although I felt a bit anxious when I realised my table of three was being watched by at least 5 staff not doing anything. The entire meal. 

The margarita was no bueno. In a margarita you should at least be able to taste the fact that there is tequila in it, sadly I could not. I have a feeling it was a margarita mix. And the stuff that they put on the rim... for the wrong drink. 

I did order the veggie burrito knowing that it could not go wrong. Yeah, I was wrong. There were ingredients that belong in Chinese food in that burrito, not Mexican. It also lacked many of the main ingredients (aka salsa, beans, cilantro, etc). I found it so sad the only thing keeping me from going into the kitchen and giving a free training session were my friends.

Rice and beans are a staple, which means they belong in everything. I am hoping their chef reads this because I desperately want this restaurant to make it and will give tips if allowed, I miss good Mexican...

I really rather liked this place! The service was good, esp considering we were hanging out for a few hours.  I really enjoyed the mixed dips and the guac didn't taste like it was out of a packet! 
The enchiladas were very tasty - with a somewhat Indiany taste to me :)  I agree that the food isn't totally authentic with the veggies used, but it's flavourful and looks home-made.
I would guess it was a family business, run by Cypriots perhaps?
We also had a pecan pie for dessert which burnt my tongue a lil but tasted great with the toffee fudge ice cream!
Would deffo go back if I was in the area!  Good efforts people :) x

This place is a funny one. From the outside it looks like a hideously plastic-y, tacky Mexican restaurant. Once you get inside it actually gets worse! But after a while, and a few well made Mojitos, it starts to add to the charm. Generally there'll be some groups wearing Sombreros: they have a seemingly inexhaustible supply. You can even get ponchos too if you are lucky.  What you will notice is that this place is generally quite busy.

On to the food. Portion sizes here are big, I doubt very much that you'll leave feeling empty. It's your standard Mexican food, burritos, tacos etc. However, my personal favourite (not sure how authentically Mexican this is) are the Barbecue Ribs. They are pretty awesome, the meat just falls from the bone.

Service is generally ok, although I did have one occasion when in a large group there were some "extra" items added to our bill. I managed to go back the next day and get a free meal for two out of them though. Just double check what you are paying for on the night when there's a lot of you.

All in all a cheesy night out with lots of reasonable food.

This Mexican place with the fun outside decor just looks so out of place in conservative London. And add to that English people wearing cowboy hats to look Mexico. Too funny. But cool place for drinks.

Bottom line: Cheesy for London but gotta love it.

I would hardly call this mexican.

The service, for starters, was horrible. The restaurant wasn't even crowded when I strolled in here on a Sunday afternoon and yet I was left waiting for some time to order and again after I finished my meal. 

The food? Hmmmm. Nothing seemed fresh or prepared to order. The chips and dip left much to be desired. Both seemed to have come from a bag purchased at a local Tesco. Hardly anything worth paying £6 for.

I had the beef tacos and was honestly surprised the meet was quite tasty, however, the taco shells appeared to have come out of an Olde El Paso taco dinner kit from a week ago. Not fresh and so bland. Super disappointing!

Still on the hunt for good Mex in London, but won't be trying this place again!
