Self-described as "comida Latina" & "Mexican takeway" but no respectable Latino or Mexican would…read moreconsider it that. The menu is a mish-mosh of some classic Latin ingredients like ground chorizo or avocado with some imposters like hard taco shells or ham & cheese empanadas or nachos. Taking this into account, they do offer a variety of fairly-priced small bites & were open all day during a bank holiday (hard to find in Milan). Also, the place is like a food truck with a roof, so there's not a lot of space to get comfy; 4 stools at a counter against the wall. The food was not bad. The empanadas were flavorful & the tacos were good. The carnitas is cooked in a sweet n savory sauce which threw us off but it was good enough to finish. We originally went in for the advertised jalapeños rellenos but they were out. We think we were overcharged; we weren't sure because the menu doesn't clearly state the prices for the tacos. It just says "starting at 2€". I would have given them an extra star because the food wasn't terrible & prices were good BUT more importantly, the gentleman who we paid at the register, who handled our cash, who texted on his phone for a while, was the same person who also prepared/cooked/served our food without washing his hands or wearing gloves. He handled the raw ingredients then handled the taco shells, etc. Everything happened so fast that I didn't say anything. Food safety doesn't seem to be a gigantic priority in a lot of restaurants around the city but I don't want to be reminded when I'm standing right in front of you watching what you're doing & I see you have all the time in the world to take 15 seconds to wash your hands. If I should return, I'll be ready to remind him I don't want Ecoli today.

With Mexican chefs that understand the heart of Mexican fare, this restaurant strays from the more common Tex-Mex stereotypes experienced elsewhere. When I first arrived for my dinner, I was taken by the beautiful central chandelier and how well the restaurant design incorporated the Mexican aesthetic. I was welcomed by an extremely friendly waiter, who was more than happy to explain the menu and recommend dishes. I opted to try pork tacos with grilled pineapple, and fresh octopus with avocado, cucumber and radish in salsa macha. Talk about wowing me from the start! Grilling the pineapple brought out an extra layer of sweetness that tenderized the pork even more, for melt-in-your-mouth juiciness. The creamy avocado with fresh cucumber and spicy radish paired great with the octopus, and I couldn't wait for my next course! Upon recommendation from the waiter, I tried the tender lamb, which was slow cooked for 5 hours and wrapped in banana leaves. Perfectly seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices! I'm happy I listened! I can never pass up churros with chocolate sauce, as they piqued the interest of my sweet tooth. To finish the meal, I enjoyed a biscuit covered in sweet potato puree, cream cheese with cinnamon, ice cream and caramelized peanuts. Never before has my palate been so delighted by as combination of flavors. I love Mexican food, and was delighted to find this charm! To dine here is a true gastronomical experience, partaking in a fusion of tradition cultural cuisine with modern day flair. I'd highly recommend a dinner here during a night out, as the service, food, and atmosphere can't be beat.

I really want to give this place 4 stars, however, I can't. The service wasn't great, it was quick,…read moreyet after the seating, drinks, and food was ordered our waiter returned only to bring the food and take the plates. So I have to knock off one star for that. The other star that I want to give was for the food, it was great, in a manner. This place touts itself as Tex-Mex, when it really shouldn't. Had they called it Tex-Mex inspired cuisine, this place would be 4 stars. Had the margarita not tasted like everclear, tequila, and 2 drops of lemon juice this place would get 4 stars. Had the chips and salsa ever showed up, the salsa had any flavor besides garlic, had the tacos I ordered not been a burrito, hell, had someone in the place spoken Spanish I'd give it 4 stars. Sadly, I have to cut out the second star. All this being said, I really want to go back and try the burgers. They looked and smelled delicious. The tequila selection was one of the better ones I've seen in Italy. The atmosphere was nice, the people were friendly when they talked to us. But it wasn't a Tex-Mex restaurant. I am aware this place is located in Italy, I'm aware that is nowhere near Mexico or even the great state of Texas. But if you call it Tex-Mex MAKE TEX-MEX. Again if your looking for a burger with a semi Mexican flair in Milan this seemed like the place, sadly none in my group tried one. Maybe next time.

Went here for a dinner after looking for a non-Italian cuisine place around Fondazione Prada. The…read moreplace was very quiet, with all of Milan sleeping off after the winter holidays. There were just 2-3 other tables occupied apart from us. There is a table aside with complimentary chips and a few different salsas for the time waiting for orders. Waiting was not too long, though. Fast came a finely-pureed guacamole. Followed by beef fajitas with a range of 5-6 toppings and quesadillas (mysteriously labeled in the menu as Burrito Santa Fe). Baseline meat and produce quality is very good and it reflects in the final dish. The specifics of flavors are a bit off from TexMex cuisine in the USA or Mexican cuisine in Mexico proper, but this is one of the better Mexican places I encountered in Europe so far. The most important aspect of the place, though, the one bringing up the stars, is the cocktail menu taking several pages. The place used to be previously a cocktail-only bar before adding a full kitchen. A range of cocktails use house-infused vodkas and syrups line up in labeled colorful bottles along the bar, think the flavors of oregano or black tea or Sichuan pepper. After talking to the bartender-owner about them for a bit, we got even a few complementary shots of the latter infused vodka. The infusions, mixed up with more classic alcohols, make for a complex multi-layered flavors, with distinguishable first and second and third waves. For a special cocktail serving experience, ask for a Porno Tommy.

Before we were seated the hostess had a 5 minute conversation with the waitstaff as we stood around awkwardly waiting to be seated. For the record we don't speak Italian. There was not a SOUL inside the restaurant. Not a single table was occupied. There were 4-5 wait staff present. They sat us in a tiny corner next to the glass door entrance. The waitstaff was milling around as we looked at the menus. 15 minutes later (not exaggerating) no one came to take our order, offer water or even say hello. They looked annoyed that we were there. I motioned to a waiter and pointed to the menu. He looked mad that we interrupted whatever he was doing. We got up and left! I don't know if they don't like tourists, or the fact that we don't speak Italian. We never got an explanation nor do we care to find out. Take this for what it's worth. This restaurant is it in the main touristy area. Perhaps they don't want to be bother with foreigners. Do Not Go!

We'd walked past Mexicali a couple of times and felt like we should finally stop by and try it. The mixed fajitas were surprisingly good and flavorful! The tortillas were warm when they came out and tasted like they were home made. The guacamole was missing some flavor but it all scratched the itch of missing guacamole. My friend had the vegetarian enchiladas (which they gave her at lunch time, though it is a dinner menu). Her dish came with Mexican rice and black beans. The rice wasn't great but the beans had a good flavor that went nicely with the enchiladas. Unfortunately, the chips and salsa don't live up to par. It has way too much tomato, and not enough onions, cilantro, jalapeños, etc. We ate it because it had been so long since we'd had chips but keep your expectations low on the salsa. We'll be back to have our same dishes, simply because they bring a little piece of home to Milan. But just keep in mind that this is Italian-Mex, and not Tex-Mex.
