We tried the day menu concept (€14 for a 3 course meal). It was very tasty and there was enough choice. The view is beautiful over the Beach and the Sea. We enjoyed the sun from the terrace while sipping from a happy hour mojito (€6).
Visited around 9pm and it was fairly empty. Food was good, I had the vegan burrito and my wife had chicken fajitas. All tasty and well priced. A good option if you fancy some Mexican food on your holiday.
Food here is amazing!! Drinks not so much (cocktails are pre mixed). Best refried beans I’ve ever tasted. Patatas bravas we’re delicious!!! All the meats in enchiladas, burritos etc were slow cooked and had so much flavour. Just OUTSTANDING. View is fantastic too, overlooking the beach. Prices okay too (not too cheap not too much).
Two years running we have eaten here and the food has been fantastic both times. Cocktails are fantastic too. Having two fussy eaters aged 8y and 10y, they wanted to go back for more
Great views Mexican small dishes had shrimp tacos they were incredible fresh and bursting with zesty and fragrant flavours
