Very nice place, they nailed the Tex-Mex atmosphere with their design and decorations. Comfy seating, too. Unfortunately we were not very wow'd by the food (apart from one exception; see below). Nacho chips, tortillas, and queso (cheese) dip all tasted store-bought. Salsa was a bit too sweet and chunky (stewed style). Enchilada Santa Fe had a slice of somewhat-melted mozzarella in it rather than a sharper tasting cheese like cheddar, and bell peppers were too large/crudely cut. The Beef in the fajitas was tender and nicely seasoned, but was not served sizzling hot, nor were the onions or peppers fried enough. No cheese served. Only sauce was the same sweet salsa. None of this was bad. It was just very standard "Euro-Mex", which tends to not be very exciting. And in Tallinn, we discovered at least one Mexican place making exceptional tacos, and another making much better food, as well, albeit at ridiculously high prices. At least the prices at Cantina Carramba are fair. The one exceptional item we had was the Chilie Soup. It was like a blended chili con carne, probably a bean base, that was proper hot and sour. That was phenomenal. If I lived in Tallinn, I would come here regularly just to eat this soup. And since I don't, I fully intend on experimenting and trying to duplicate it! Drink wise, the Margarita was very tasty, but it was tiny and weak and definitely not worth Є10, so I only had one instead of my usual 3-4 (for this size). I ordered a beer and it was served way too warm, but they did have ice, so it wasn't a big problem. I think this place has a lot of potential but definitely needs a few tweak to become exceptional.

Spiste en nydelig pastarett med kremet spicy saus. Entrecôte var middels. Måtte vente en god stund på maten, men var verdt ventetiden.
