    DON'T EVER go there for food unless you want to be screwed , they lie to you in the face !!…read more I go there before a concert in the AB , I get my menu and waiter comes to take our order to drink , because I know how it normally goes I order our drink AND starter , drink arrives , then waiter comes to take food order , then 30 minutes nothing , even though I ordered starter 15 minutes before ordering food , Then they bring starter , and have our meal also in there hand , but because I'm looking at the waiter and ask if that's our meal at the same time , they not even answer , and take it back . 15 minutes later it's there again , straight from microwave , I call waiter , and he deny's 2 times , telling there's NO WAY the food comes out off the microwave ! THE RICE WAS DRY , AND SAUCE WAS HARD AND DRYED OUT from microwave , but still say with a straight face , NO MICROWAVE !!! PRICE TO START FOR IS WAY TO EXPENCIVE ! THEN THEY TROW YOU FOOD IN FRONT FF YOU THAT MY DOG WOULD NOT EVEN LOOK AT !!! A SHAME TO BE A BELGIAN CITIZEN !! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY THERE !!!

    Disappointing, disgusting and definitely not real Mexican food. My cousin and I were craving tacos…read moreand as it was a bank holiday it was the only tex-mex open. No need to mention there's no fuc**** way we're coming back. The nachos were barely crispy and the chili dressing tasteless. Our Margaritas were mostly made up of water, sprite and sugar loooots of sugar. The tacos were just unimpressive or maybe they were as they arrived cold af. In addition to that : the prices are just a mofo joke ! It's way too expensive for what you get. Poor service and low quality -yet expensive- food. Don't go. I mean for real just don't :)

    I see how the past reviews were complaining about the service in this place but tbh when I went…read morethere with friends we didn't face the same problems. The waiter was so friendly, he can take your order in English, French or Spanish. He explained some things that were not clear about the menu. We waited some time for the drinks to arrive but it wasn't that bad I guess. I have been waiting to eat here since a Mexican friend emphasized how authentic the food was! I ordered the quesadillas huitlacoche to start with a margarita tamarindo. The quesadillas were indeed amazing and it's my first time trying huitlacoche. It had an interesting taste to it. I got full eating this but after a second margarita, I got hungry again and got the Tacos Nortenos! The tacos made from corn flour were falling apart once it got moist so I found it very difficult to eat with my fingers, so I ended up using a fork and knife. I like my food on the spicy side so I asked for some hot sauce and they provided a home made one. It was strong and exactly what I needed. Would defo come back

    It was the third time I went to the Mexican restaurant, the cuisine is authentic and really tasty…read more What a pity that the service is just non existant. You wait for half an hour to get the first drinks, the starters came relatively quickly (20 min later) than they forgot to take the order for the main dish, disappeared for 30 min, 45 min later when two of the three dishes were ready, the waitress informed us, that there was not enough fish for the third dish, another 20 min waiting... it was specially annoying as I had invited friends and had praised the restaurant... overall I had to go 4 times to look for the service, we got the (fortunately great!) dishes after hours of patience and the girl got two times the orders wrong bringing confounding drinks. Service standards in Belgium are low, but, this was the worse I have experienced since along time. The owner has to get the service trained and professional if not this will become a disaster which would be a pity as the cuisine is top.
