We came in late on a Wednesday evening and were the last to order. The staff were fun and friendly and we were happy to enjoy a good atmosphere and have a great dinner. Really generous margarita and a surprise when we left! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $40–50 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

We ordered starters and mains there were four in our party The starters were delivered quickly and well before we finished, about 5 mins in, then the mains arrived. Total chaos as the tables cannot handle that amount of plates etc. Waiting staff were indifferent to our request to hold back on the mains to give us time to eat the starters and forced us to take the mains then. It was far too rushed. Spoilt our night out as I felt they just wanted to rush us out. If we go again I will just order starters and order mains once we have finished them. Shame as the food itself was good. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $70–80 Food: 5 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3
We are regulars and usually love the experience of dining here. Tonight, however, we were disappointed that our dessert order was refused because they thought it would be too much for us to eat. There was an option of 12 churros for $35 on the menu (between 4 of us) - we agreed to halve it but they served 4 and charged $24, around double per serve. It was not a nice end to our meal which was supposed to be a celebration - they should remove the menu item if they do not intend to honour it.

Went last night as a party of 6, noticed a lot of flies around the tables which felt like they has had a very fast wipe and sticky. Our table had high stools and we were down the back near the door in full sunlight at 7pm. We were unpleasantly hot. Asked to pull the curtain but it was for show only, tried to open the sliding door more but stuck, opened large back door more but it worsened the sun. Moral of story, if you have a large group in Summer book outside table. Drinks expensive, food pretty tasty. It's very noisy, not the place for Catch ups.

Such lovely decor and a really chill vibe. We enjoyed the margaritas at $18 a piece. The cerviche was excellent ($24), although I would have liked more of it for the price, as we're the small tacos at $10 each - esp the fish taco yum! The coconut flan was delicious but I only remembered to photograph it when almost gone! The churros were a little over cooked, but still tasty. Would definitely return as the service was also friendly and fast.
The best & the only authentic Mexican food in Nelson was extremely scrumptious, however you may have to re order your mains because of the portion size. Loved the vibe of the restaurant. Definitely looking forward for our next visit!

We ordered a vegan taco amongst other things for take away. This was sold to us as having jackfruit in it. Only to find out when we got home with the food that it did not. We called and asked if we could get a replacement or what the store was, the girl who answered the phone was nice, but she needed to speak to the manager. The manager came on the phone and was rude right from the word go! His completely dismissed us and hung up on us.

Cute atmosphere and good drinks, but the food itself is pretty underwhelming. I feel people just think it's good because there aren't any other Mexican restaurants in Nelson to compare it to... Re-reviewing after a recent re-visit: It started off poorly where we were asked to come 15mins later as they had overbooked. A friend also mentioned how they were asked to come an hour earlier that week as "it was a quiet night". When we arrived the waitress refused to let us order entrees before mains - when we asked why, she said "I don't know". When the food came out they then missed one persons order all together and didn't even apologize. Finally when their order arrived, the male server had a mouthful of food while he was delivering the food. Overall, the food (other than the twice-cooked chips) was incredibly underwhelming and overpriced and the service was super unprofessional. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner

Great little Mexicano Restaurante. Delicious margaritas, excellent music. Had the tacos gf pescado and beef. Tasty and well priced for the size. Excellent service from friendly wait staff. The gf/df avocado chocolate mousse was complemented with a divine raspberry gelato. Definitely worth a visit. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
