                                                    There are not many Mexican restaurants in north Devon but this is the best for food quality. Portions are generous and the food is very tasty. I had the pulled pork enchilladas with a side of rice and although it didn't look big compared to the burgers it was really filling. The portion size was spot on as I would not have been able to finish it, if it had been any bigger. Overall it is very good value for money and the staff are very pleasant and attentive. Cocktails are delicious but a tad on the small side. However, if you order off the 2 for 1 menu on Thursday then it's a good deal. The only thing that lets the restaurant down is lack of atmosphere. There were only three other small groups when we were there and the restaurant is HUGE. To be fair, it was a Thursday, pouring with rain, extra lockdown measures had just been announced and the restaurant is tucked away in the back of an outlet mall not visible from the street. It's a shame because the place is very well decorated with an incredible 'day of the dead' themed mural and the owners have obviously gone to a lot of trouble but it would be an outstanding place if there were more diners and more atmosphere. If the owners could hang some form of drapes from the celling to hide the obvious retail shop tiles, dim the lights slightly it would be perfect. Would definitely eat there again. See you for Cinco de Mayo 2022!

                                                    Good points: excellent service, nice restaurant, food well presented. Not so good points: over priced, very chewy steak, salty enchiladas

                                                    Tasty food - lighting was a bit bright for my taste and there were a few things that were off the menu that we’d been looking forwards to !

                                                    Artwork on the walls and ceiling was very nice. Staff were pleasant. But that is as good as it was. The food was really poor. Calamari, was very oily, I had the pulled Pork Tacos which were very bland and there were big chunks of pork that hadn’t been pulled apart. I also got a side order of Mexican rice which was sticky with no flavour like a cheap microwave rice. I also spent £7+ on a lime Margarita which wasn’t great at all. The best thing was the Coke Cola and the garnish that came with my meal. I would not recommend and definitely wouldn’t go there again.
