Absolutely amazing food! Had the feed us menu, and everything was delicious! And so much food! Definitely worth the price - couldn’t eat it all!

The staff were very friendly, helpful and attentive!

Just had the most incredible dinner. All we wanted was share platters and they catered for us perfectly. The margaritas are incredible and the customer service is next level. We’ll see you next week guys, you absolutely smashed it!

The food was amazing as was the drinks. The best Margaritas I have ever had.

Can't wait to come back.

Amazing food. The corn tortillas were brilliant, and I really appreciated the flavours in the vegetarian options. The last flautas I had as good as these were back in the 80s when I lived near Mexico. Highly recommended.

If you want to eat authentic and delicious Mexican food, this is the right place to go. Wonderful experience here. The place is beautiful, with authentic and traditional Mexican decorations that creates a better environment, made me feel like home. Also, all staff were so nice and kind at all time, very professional. Food is delicious, everything tastes so good. I highly recommend sopa de tortilla (tortilla soup), taco de cachete de res (beef cheek taco) with three chilli sauce, cochinita pibil taco as well and for dessert impossible cake. For drinks they have a wide variety with Mexican beers (I recommend Negra Modelo), tequila, mezcal, margaritas.

The whole group of us (8) were all Sooo disappointed and unimpressed.ad the value was embarrassing.
The tortillas slightly larger than a drinks coaster.
A very small bowl of corn chips (10-12). And some guacamole $16?
Embarrassing.

Real mexican food! It worth the price. You have to try the "pescadillas" and "cochinita pibil tacos"

If your looking for a quick but homemade meal this is they place you wanna go!

Got seated immediately after being a walk in, ordered drinks and food and and got starters within 5-10 minutes and finished the meal after 35 minutes! The service was extremely good and workers are polite, loved how you could see them making their dough!

Traditional tortillas are perfect - fillings were great (hubby says they are better than great) funky little restaurant in a architecturally amazing spot

I came to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday,
my Mexican friends told me that this was the best taqueria in Adelaide and it's true. The food was tasty, we ate the set menu and we love it. Mario gave us an excellent service always smiling and making sure that everything was fine. They gave my girlfriend a shot of their best tequila for her birthday and the margaritas were really good.
Definitely we will be back and we recommend to eat the set menu so you can try everything.

Sorry but I really don’t understand the hype.
Here’s why:

- smallest portion sizes I ever did see
- over priced (especially for being left hungry)
- inattentive service. Not rude, but not attentive. For example we were given our food but had no cutlery on our table, and got our own water. Also pretty sure the entree was forgotten if I didn’t mention it, and it wasn’t busy at all yet.

Now for the taste: average/below average.
- The chicken in the chicken taco was dry
- the guacamole was lacking salt and pepper and flavour in general, and the corn crackers were too hard (my friend joked she could break her teeth) and too oily
- WAY too small serving of everything. Like almost a joke. Come on.

Positives: colourful and nice ambience in a nice location. It’s nice to sit outside.

Excellent service. Fun and charming place and the food was excellent. They do a feed me menu. Tacos were all great but I especially loved the tortilla soup for something different. Bustling small place definitely recommend to book but very cool decorations and delicious Margheritas. They also had a lot of other traditional Mexican liquor I will have to return to try. Huge selection of tequilas. So glad to see such an establishment livening up the Port.

Great food, everything we tried was delicious. Friendly staff. Cozy environment with seating close together. Worth a visit as there isn’t anything like it in the west.

First off what I had to eat was very nice indeed.
But
In my opinion not a user friendly menu.
Basically a choice of tacos or a share meal
I had one taco and should of had 3 to 4 for my appetite. There was no real indication of size
Young lady who served my wife and I was very pleasant.
I am a basic eater and found the place to "yuppy" for me.
Doubt I will go back
