I had the burrito with chicken. It was a huge portion as you can see in the picture. The price was 11.90€. Generally the food was okay but not really stunning.

I had “Dedos de diabolo scharf” which was a cheesy tortilla dish with a spicy salsa…and it was actually spicy!

Huge selection of drinks including tequila, mezcal and cocktails too.

I have to knock off a star because it took ages to receive the drinks. I was two thirds through my meal before the drinks first arrived!

Most authentic mexican in the city! Small bar but with a huge selection of Tequila and other mexican cervezas. The food is always delicious and fresh. My recommendation: nachos perfectos. I eat it every time I go there and never get tired of it, it's probably my favorite meal EVER. It can get quite busy and crowded as it's a popular neighborhood bar so if you're planning to go as a group I would reserve a table. Also the bartender is an absolute sweetheart!

Purely as a bar, this may be fun for a quick drink (Magherita 6 EUR but rather small).
Food is below average. Its not authentic Mexican and it is ALL microwaved (3 x 1500 Watt Microwave in the open kitchen, running and beeping non-stop)
We ordered Tacos for 12 EUR and what we received looked like a creative Nachos plate. It had no resemblence of Mexican Tacos. On top, our plate was missing some key ingredients: Sour cream, Lime, Fresh Onion, Cilantro, Guacamole, Hot Sauce and so on (my gf believes to have spotted some). What we received were not Tacos, not even close. Im surprised guests are willing to pay for microwaved food. This is not Mexican food at all. I guess there is no Mexican community but to satisfy your Mexican cravings, look further. Very dissappointing. Couldve had a similar experience at home with frozen Mexican from Aldi but unfortunately we threw away our microwave :)
