Iago Fouquet SchmidtDecember 2, 2014The taco varieties are great, just like the quesadilla and everything spicy
Simon RedfernApril 12, 2012Great atmos, busy and loud. They were keen to say on the door that "work clothes" ie suits are frowned on... made me feel a bit self conscious. Good fun though
Aisea LaungaueNovember 25, 2012Get the lamb main its amazing. Great atmosphere. For New Yorkers, this is the equivalent of La Esquina
Kate GerasimovaJuly 17, 2017Food was great, but drinks were not. My friend didn't like her drink either. Expresso martini and old fashioned were questionable. It wasn't our first time, so this was surprising.Atmosphere is nice.
Amaia Urra MerinoSeptember 18, 2015Really nice atmosphere, good and quick service and really nice food
Ania DzianiaOctober 20, 2017The crab burrito was overpriced and very chewy, full of gristle - not recommended. Starters were good and veggie option was a great size, better than two tostadas which were tiny. Good drinks/service.
Allie RMarch 16, 2015Fun bar, good Dj and great drinks. Food is great as well but horrible service. Had a reservation for 8 but weren't seated till 8:30 and then messed up our food order.
Stefanie ReisSeptember 1, 2014Don't eat the ceviche, it's terrible! Go for nachos and other snacks: they are more safe options. Lovely staff!
Elena KaplaniOctober 17, 2015The food is not worth it but the vibes and the music are so good that more than make up for it.
Puyi PuyaNovember 8, 2017Very low quality , #Michelada done horribly wrong!we had to wait 30 min to be seated !!! Coz we were 7 !! Waiter were great food was 2 out of 5 ! Wont go back never again felt disappointed :(
Scott SullivanMarch 2, 2016Very good streak fajitas. But not enough cheese and condiments to load 4 tortillas though.
Nadine MansourApril 26, 2014everything is on the smaller side so either come not hungry or order double
VivMay 9, 2012Don't get this place confused with its innocent younger sister 'La Bodega Negra Cafe', which is right behind it on Moor St! Waited half an hour for my friend here when she was at the other place!
Kimberly CarrollApril 19, 2012Cool place but DON'T have the £12 chicken salad. They are so unbelievably tight on the chicken I had to give mine back and ask for something else. Appalled. And the manager had such a sour face. Uh.
Ondine CowleyMarch 29, 2013Love the staffers at food amazing cocktails. Loads of exciting nights here
Katerina BristFebruary 22, 2019Atmosphere is good. Food was not impressed and have had better margaritas in other Mexican restaurants in London.
Aiban NAugust 9, 2012Try the Prawn Ceviche and the Patatas con Mole! I'm from Mexico and those ate my suggestions. #WellDone!
Clara Armand-DelilleJanuary 22, 2013Rustica quesadilla is super spicy. Great wine list and nice staff
Rax LakhaniApril 8, 2013Even the waitress admitted it was overpriced. Ceviche the size of a 50p coin served with tortilla chips for £9. Bar staff too cool to smile. Drinks were good standard though.
Olaf StephensonMarch 1, 2013Probably the best frozen margaritas I'm likely to be served in central London...........
Lisa SherrattAugust 22, 2012Great food, lovely staff, good music...just ever so slightly disorganised!
Clara EloyFebruary 26, 2023The portion sizes are absolutely ridiculous for the price. and the food is not worth the price tag either. Staff is snobby 🥴 I wouldn’t go again
Marsha LowDecember 20, 2012Buy Marco the bartender a shot of tapatio bianco and you're set for the night
India BarnardoApril 17, 2013Looks like a sex shop. But there's an awesome bar/restaurant downstairs!
Estelle 🐰January 7, 2016Surprised it was rated so highly. The food was so-so, the service was not that great. It's a trendy spot, but don't think I'll be going back anytime soon.

"Suitably mysterious, followed by excellent service, smiling barstaff. Far less pompous than its Irish cloneterpart. Oh, and a really very tasty, creative cocktail. Thumbs up."
Paul Campbell - 9.0
"Have been to Harry Potter and the Cursed Child! It was nice experience, especially Part I. The theatre is not big and cosy, would definitely return (to try the first row of Dress Circle)"
Alexander Polukord - 8.0
"Gorgeous endive, walnut & Roquefort salad. Great coffee too. Love the Parisian deco. Really friendly staff."
