Travelled from Oxford in the snow during a storm and the hospitality was 100% on point! Amazing experience and service from the staff and replied very fast on instagram to ensure they were still open! The food was the highlight, the tacos were actually out of this world and we’ve tried a lot of Mexican places! Definitely worth the trip and will definitely be returning! On the go to list now!
Blown away with the experience, excellent service and amazing food. The birria tacos were seasoned perfectly and the meat to cheese ratio was great. Highly recommended!
My first time trying any tacos that aren’t Taco Bell, and WOW. These are incredible. Me and my partner enjoyed them that much, we had to go back for more. £12 for 3 tacos and the consume is well worth the price. 10/10
