What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Diners rave about the authentic and fresh Mexican flavors, particularly praising the unique nachos and the extensive gluten-free options. The friendly and attentive service, coupled with a playful and cozy atmosphere, makes for a highly enjoyable dining experience. While most reviews are overwhelmingly positive, some suggest desserts could use more variety and one review mentioned disappointing enchiladas and sangria, alongside a high price point.
"I live in Germany and, apart from Berlin, the Mexican food is not great. So, when traveling I seek out Mexican restaurants and this place exceceded expectations. Food, drinks and service was exemplary. Get a tequila shot just for fun, live a little."

"Delicious food, great service and unbeatable atmosphere made for a very enjoyable evening in Córdoba. I’m giving food 4 stars only because deserts might benefit from some sparking up, the rest was excellent. I also appreciated many gluten free options. To go place for Mexican food in Córdoba."
Tanja Behrens
"Me and my Girlfriend were visiting Cordoba on our travels around Spain. In the 3 weeks we have been here and eaten in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia and Toledo.
I can say with absolute confidence that this was by far the best meal we have had here. It's was extremely fresh and light which is not how I placed mexican food before I ate here. They freshly make their nachos daily and they taste NOTHING like you'd expect. The marriage of flavours here is literally like a party in your mouth. They are also very accomodating, our waiter was very keen for us to ask questions and was very helpful describing food. I think it is a family place, as the staff seem to really care about their product, and seem very happy when we told them how much we'd enjoyed our visit.
If you only eat at one place in Cordoba make sure you eat here!"
