Delicious food! We loved the roasted tomato salsa, but there are three kinds of salsa available. We enjoyed a burrito, carnitas tacos, chips and salsa, and a kids quesadilla. We saw a crispy chicken burger go by that looked amazing though! Parking is a little tight, but you can find a spot nearby if you don't mind an evening stroll. There is a nice patio to sit outside and enjoy dinner. Yum! Thanks for the delicious taste of home!

A small neighborhood restaurant that serves Mexican food.
The consept of the restaurant is also nice, which you kinda set your own table and when finished take away the used dishes.
The food was great with a lot of flavor,until now it was the best dish i had in Germany....
But the place only get cash, so be advised.

Nice service, friendly staff, great Mexican and south USA food. Taco, burrito and fried chicken from the restaurant are both good. Unlike normal taco place which more like a street food size, here they are in larger potion. If you prefer more spicy flavor you can order additional jalapeños for your dish and your flavor on spicy will be satisfied.
This restaurant is cash only.

The staff were nice but the food unfortunately wasn’t.
Veggie burrito and Californian tostadas were great to look at but, unfortunately, lacked any flavour. I don’t know if the meat dishes were better but it was so disappointing to eat, especially if you consider that it was quite a price for what you get.

Great food, extra-friendly staff and cozy atmosphere. Up to my knowledge, the best Mexican food in Freiburg -- and not the most expensive one at the same time. I would highly recommend to visit this place.

Taste wise it was good besides the meat didn’t really have any flavor. Service was alright, they got our order wrong instead of a veggie burrito we got one with pork and because we ordered takeaway we noticed too late to get what we ordered + the pork had quite big chunks of fat.

It may seem a bit harsh 3 stars but considering it's a taco joint in Europe, it's not bad. I'm comparing it to places in NY, Cali and Central America, in those places the Mexican food is off the charts. In Europe, in general, it's pretty bad. This place was somewhere in the middle, the flavors were better than most places but the tortillas in the tacos fell apart super easily, after a few minutes I wasn't eating tacos but soggy tortillas and the filling. Also, they told me that the habanero sauce was supposed to be quite spicy, it wasn't. Not for someone even a little used to hot sauce i.e. jalapeños, red sauce, green sauce, etc.

So if you've never had Mexican food outside Europe or Freiburg, it's at least 4 stars. But to me, it's a nice try but not close enough.
