  “Charming as ever. I've been visiting this restaurant since it opened in the early 90s. Not much has changed; it's chilled out, has great food. Service is excellent (although clearly busy). If you're visiting, definitely book ahead.”

  “Had a lovely time. The gambas were delicious and soaked with the spices, the bread was a delight. Enjoyed the spinach tacos and the pork enchiladas. The confit duck fajitas and the nachos are great to share. Lovely service and good energy to be around.”

  “Love the food especially Paella and sorbet, very delicious! Found this restaurant as it was recommended on google so my friend and I chose to eat here and didn’t disappoint at all. The decoration is also cute, it feels like we are in the “coco” animation. Moreover, recommend to call for booking in advance because it’s pretty busy.”

  “Visited this place for the first time with my friend who had been here before, and honestly it exceeded my expectations. We went for the set menu and it was absolutely worth every penny. The nachos to start were amazing — crispy, creamy, full of flavour and probably some of the best I’ve had. Then came the sizzling chicken fajitas with warm tortillas, and wow… the chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, and served sizzling hot which made the whole experience even better. To finish, we had the chocolate dessert which tasted like a rich brownie with whole nuts, chocolate cream, vanilla ice cream and strawberries on the side. Absolutely delicious and the perfect ending to the meal. You can really tell they care about quality ingredients and fresh food. Great atmosphere, generous portions, friendly service, and fantastic flavours throughout. Will definitely be coming back again. Highly recommend if you’re in Canterbury and want proper Mexican food.”

  “Nice place outside the Westgate with a good menu. Service was great, except we ordered beef and refried beans on the nachos and they only had beef. Food was okay. The pollo verde was excellent. The nachos with beef were not. The beef was overcooked and did not taste good.”

  “Wow, what a fantastic surprise. Very friendly staff. Shout out to Sofia. Excellent food and service. Loved the passion fruit margarita with chilli. Prawn in garlic were fantastic. Duck tocos were also nice. Chicken Verde was best mexican dish my wife ever had. Chicken burrito was also good but need bit of tomato salsa. The restaurant was busy but we're most welcome. The team of three staff were great. Good value for money and opposite to West Gate.”
