I had a veggie taco. I thought the vegetable combination might be a little weird, but it was tasty! Inexpensive and pretty good food. We'll have to stop in to their physical location while here in Istanbul.

    Amazing Mexican food! Yes, I ate Mexican food in Turkey. Sue me! (Don't sue me, I have no money)…read more Seats are extremely limited, I think at one time 8-10 ppl can eat simultaneously. Heat lamps are present for those chilly nights if you are sitting outside. Parking isn't terrible since the place doesn't fit to many @ one time, but keep in mind it shares parking with other establishments around it. On to the most important part of this review, the FOOD. The menu is limited, but I don't count that against them. Prices are reasonable and portions are plentiful. I had barbacoa meat (not sure if I spelled this correctly) filled burrito and it was delicious and filling. My brother had the nachos which were huge in portion sizing as well and he gave his approval on them. Everything we ate we found to be delicious. Taste buds are different so I can't speak for yours, but my taste buds enjoyed themselves. Everything is prepared in view of your seat. I thought that was neat. The staff spoke and understood English and we're very friendly. This is definitely a place I will order from or even stop by before I leave Turkey.

As a vegetarian, the menu looks a little bewildering, but when you choose your own ingredients for the your own burrito, it's great. I wasn't sure what I wanted so I asked the owner to surprise me! I had a Mexican bean burrito with carmelized onions, sauteed peppers, guacamole, and pico de gallo. It was awesome! The first time I took it home to eat- and had it cold:( The second trip I had a burrito with beans, pepper, onions, cheese, and potatoes. It was different. I liked the first one more. They do everything they can to accomodate vegetarians and vegans - which is nice. My husband had a chicken burrito with extra chicken. He seemed happy with it. The decor is nice- I especially liked the swings. I didn't think I would like to eat while sitting on a swing, but it turns out, it's quiet comfortable. As they are still pretty new, there might be somethings lacking, but I think it's going to be great. Right now there is no website or phone number:( but I'm sure there will be soon.

    Ranchero is a fine establishment. I hesitate to give it five stars but actually I don't have…read moreanything bad to say and for a foreign food place in Istanbul that in and of itself is outstanding. First of all, I had the most lovely melon margarita ever. Having turned 21 after leaving the US I can't say I've ever had that many margaritas. But this one was strong, delicious, and flavorful. It really was great. I got a combo fajita (beef and chicken) and it was also tasty and nice. It came with 10 hand-made tortillas which was the perfect amount for the food that I had. Very, very nice. It also came with black beans, salsa, guacamole and a white sauce I wasn't familiar with. All nice and fun and hard to find elsewhere of course. My dinner date and I also shared a plate of nachos which was excellent. I want to complain about price -- for our two dishes and two drinks the bill flew past 100TL -- but honestly, how often do you get to eat Mexican food in Istanbul and if you tried to make the dish/drinks yourself you would easily spend that much in supplies. For that reason, I find it acceptable. The only thing I would advise them to do is make beer a bit a cheaper. Who wants to spend 13TL on a 33mL draft beer? Yikes. I would have stayed longer and had a few if the price was more reasonable. After your meal they serve a little lemony blue drink which is some kind of curacao based, non-alcoholic delight. It's kind of like a shot but not. A not shot. Very nice touch. Service was average, they were attentive but not friendly. No one said bye as we left, which is a bit unnatural in Turkey but didn't bother me that much. :) All in all, highly recommended for a special night.

    I'm coming from great Mexican in the states and went here twice…read more First visit, I learned that they can't really recreate Mexican food due to lack of ingredients in Türkiye so next visit I came just for a drink no food Next visit, we came for drinks. First round was good. We ordered a second round and this is where the problem started. I asked the waitress what "ranch" meant in her drinks and for some reason she took that question to mean I ordered 2. When they delivered it I said I didn't order that. Then they delivered another 2 (4 drinks immediately). As we're explaining there's a mistake a waitress and waiter both come to the table and for 3-4 minutes keep insisting we're lying, we're wrong, we ordered everything, it's our problem. Truly really poor customer service. They ended up charging us $5kTL for 4 drinks which we did not drink but since they clearly want to argue and fight with customers we paid and left to not create a scene. Really disappointed since a simple misunderstanding could have been resolved but that wasn't their perspective.

    Happy Moon's is a place which has a typical American style with the big portions, the food types…read moreand the big space... OK! Let's start... 1. The food: The menu is very rich with salad types, burgers, mexican, pasta, pizza, wraps, diet dishes, steaks and many more. Don't worry you will find a good dish for your taste. We had steak and burrito. If I had to make a preference among the two dishes. i would absolutely recommend the steak. It was cooked as we ordered and was very tender and delicious. The burrito was a little bit disappointment. I wasn't expecting to have bulgur with a Mexican dish and there were too much onions in the burrito. Moreover the corn cake was not a real corn cake. I regretted that I didn't order fajitas instead of burrito since the fajita that was ordered by our neighbor table was smelling so delicious. I hardly stopped myself asking for a bite. 2. The service: The staff were very friendly and helpful. The service was quick and good. Moreover all the staff were animal lover since they behave very nice to a little cute kitty which was wandering between the tables asking for food. I was going to give 3 stars to the business but I raised one star for this behavior. 3. The ambiance: Although it was weekday, the place was almost full. There is a big outdoor space and although the evening was a little chilly we weren't cold since the place was equipped with outdoor heaters and moreover there are shawls at each table. The outdoor space was covered with big awnings at the top and with transparent covers at the sides for the protection from wind. My only complaint was the smokers. Since the place was considered to be an outer space, the people were smoking around us and it was very annoying to smell the cigarette smokes around us. I recommend the business to separate some tables for un-smokers. 4. Parking: There is a valet service of the area but we didn't leave our car to the valet since he was kind of rude and we left our car at Ispark. The person who was working for Ispark was very friendly. We just had to walk a few steps to the restaurant after parking our car. So don't leave your car to the valet, try the Ispark parking lot or pavement sides. 5. Cost: The money that we paid was reasonable when it is compared with the similar places.

We'd been in the country for 5 months at a geology field camp and had been eating essentially different variations of the same meal every single day. Don't get me started on breakfast. I can appreciate Turkish food, I can, but coming here made the whole trip worth it. This is probably the only meal I would ever consider an actual experience. We casually walk into the owner's house, up past the third floor where the kitchen is, and then into the fourth floor where the main seating area is. If you don't like cats I wouldn't bother coming, because they are the waitstaff and are very happy to greet you immediately. We sit down and cool off before he informs us that the terrace is shaded and that we should go up there before we start placing our orders. Amazing view with fantastic breezes to cool you off. He begins telling you about his life, his trips through Italy, everything that's going on in Turkey, how life has changed and even showed us his amazing meteorite once he learned we were geologists. Anyways, we ordered a squash/zucchini dish, and he returned with a green bean and something I couldn't even begin to describe. Everything had such wonderful depths of flavor. I ended up ordering the Spaghetti Bolognese and my girlfriend got the Alfredo (asked to be Americanized with chicken in it). I'm not joking when I tell you that these were the most filling and satisfying dishes we'd had over the last month. So much flavor and they really energized us when we finally got done with them. You've heard that people have had tears from having such good food, or being deprived for so long of something they love, well that was exactly us. I never knew that olive oil could taste so amazing. If we do come back to Turkey at some point, no matter where in the country we go, I will absolutely be making a stop by here again. Without a doubt. Thank you very much for the amazing time and amazing food
