Customer Review Summary

Diners consistently point to the beef burrito and veg tortilla, served with rice, guacamole, sour cream and hot chilli sauce, as standout mains, with the cocktails and huge drink menu close behind. Several mention starters like the chorizo dish and halloumi, though one reviewer trying a 3 for £12 starter selection of halloumi, chilli beef and nachos found none of them stood out. Friendly, attentive staff and quick service come up repeatedly, along with the Mexican music and decor that reviewers say adds to the atmosphere, and the venue is described as good for groups, including one account of an 8 person gathering and another of an 18th birthday celebration. A couple of reviewers note small gripes, one felt cocktails weren't the best that visit but still enjoyed them, and another was seated near the toilets and kitchen with foot traffic passing their table throughout the meal. Multiple reviewers say they left too full to finish, with several already planning return visits.

    “We spent the day shopping in Tonbridge. My daughter wanted to try this place. It was a good choice. The decorations give you something to discover in every corner. The staff was very friendly. The food came out quick and was very tasty. The only regret we have is that we didn’t have room for more food! Would definitely come again!”
