This place has sushi AND Mexican food. The beat of both. The service is EXCELLENT - fast and fresh. The ambiance is festive and music is nice for background music. The beer called “the naked Mexican” is very tasty and food was great. I recommend 👍🏼

Cocktails are always good especially the margaritas. Always try something new on the menu when I visit. I have enjoyed everything I have tried.

Went there without any plan. Saw the place from outside kinda cute ♥. So we decided to try, I love it's atmosphere very Mexican with those fancy colours 😘😍. Tough to decide the menu as it's sooo many delicious items 😜 but anyway we picked Jalapeño Poppers (is a must try!!) , Arepitas, Chimichanga and Nachos. I'm Soooo much in love with the Poppers - strong and addictive 🤤.... And the Nachos... Oh my!! It's soooo yummy!! The melting cheese... The crispness... 💞. I definitely going back there for more items to try!

Have been here often, had mixed experiences but overall more good than bad. Went just after Christmas and the service was really slow (think they were short staffed). Have been back since and was heaps better. A great place to go for reasonably priced Mexican food. Love the platters, we always order those for some variety. My husband loves the generous servings. We've been for one of the quiz nights as well- was a good, fun atmosphere.

Really enjoyed dinner here. Cute decor. Chicken wings were overcooked though. Other than that we had absolutely no complaints. Everything else we ordered was tasty, fresh and cooked to perfection. Our waiter was also helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back (especially for more strawberry margheritas)

Great quality Mexican food at an affordable price! Has more variety and authentic dishes than your average Mexican restaurant. The starter platter is definitely worth a try! Very cute Mexicana decor really ties the whole vibe together nicely. If you have an iron stomach ask for the spicey option, packs a major punch! Definitely recommend the burritos too!

Great place with fast service. Food was tasty and the beer called The Naked Mexican is delicious. Great vibe and music. Wasn’t very busy but a good place to go out and eat. Food is reasonably priced and cocktails are strong.

Great food and drink. Real value for money. Service was good but not sure how it is when it's not busy. Still, they have great Mexican food.

BEST Mexican-themed cocktails ever! This place is so quaint and perfect in its own little way. Beautiful atmosphere and very yummy food. This place is a little gem in Linden, and I'd recommend anyone to give it a try if they're wanting an "exotic" escape during a meal time :)

Good margaritas! I've always felt there's some room for improvement with their foodn though, specifically in terms of freshness and flavour. Perhaps some updated preparation techniques? Not sure, but I'm missing something. Would still recommend it for a nice, low-key outing, as it's in a quieter part of Linden.

I really enjoyed the evening here. I went on a quiz night and it was fun and involved and entertaining. On top of that the food was tasty and just the right portion. The best thing though was the cocktails. Amazing mix ratio and varied options available so it is entirely your choice which cocktail to enjoy.

My favourite week day hangout. Chilled vibes, great drinks and their pulled pork quesadillas are amazing.
