Overall a good experience. Kids had nachos, wife had enchiladas and I had cochinita pibil tacos. All were good. Sauces had great flavor, kind of pricey but it’s Europe..and everything costs more.

We are from the USA and travel a lot to Mexico. This is the most authentic Mexican food I’ve eaten in Spain so far. The food was excellent. Had the chicken enchiladas with red and green sauce with refried beans and my wife had the tortilla soup (Sopa Azteca) which she says is the best she ever had. We also got a plate of guacamole and chips. We actually ran out of chips before guacamole, they gave us so much! That never happens in the states. The tomatillo sauce was good and tangy and we also had a yellow salsa made from árbol chiles, which was plenty hot. Only thing lacking was a bottle of tapatío sauce, but how can I complain. We are in Spain, home of bland food.

The food itself deserves a 3 but as the service was below expectations I have to give this place 2 out of 5. They forgot to give us the starters and we had to remind them for our beer atleast 4 times.

As you walk into the restaurant, the waiters were attentive. The places has a authentic, vibrant, colorful decor, then just sombrero, which i love.

We were seated at our table and noticed the cute colorful paper table mats with positive slogans for each person.

As a starter, we were served chips and two sauces (a green sauce and yellow one that looked cheesy but wasn't, that was muy caliente . As far a drink we had mint tea and water.

I ordered carnitas, with a side of rice. When the food arrived i noticed that it was served with corn tortillas. I thought the carnitas was a little dry and didn't have much flavor. I ended up using the yellow spicy sauce, sauce from my friend's meal to add to the carnitas to add flavor. Overall, i was full. The other ladies enjoyed there dishes and were satisfied. Being that 3 out of 4 were satisfied I would return when visiting Barcelona again. See you in 2027 to see the completion of Sagrada Familia.
