Absolutely sensational. We got the beef brisket, pork with pineapple (x2), soft shell crab and the special giant squid. Everything was 10/10. Best for us was the pork and the soft shell crab … chefs kiss! Frozen margs (we got the El Pastor) are also a must. Honourable mention to our server Larissa, she was amazing. Brought the vibes and was attentive to our orders. Definitely recommend!

This was such a tasty Mexican! My friend and I shared pork tacos, a pork quesadilla, a steak quesadilla, and some salsa with chips. The food was delicious, and service was really quick. Our waitress gave us great recommendations too. I also spotted some sharing platters that looked super tempting – will definitely try one next time
