Busy Mexican bar with cheap and good food. Reservations are only accepted Mondays thru Thursdays, so come here early on weekends for dinner.

Entrance:

Bright welcoming neon lights on a dark alley right before the port.

2 Mojitos- mint, sugar, lemon juice, white rum, soda €6 each

Minty lemony fresh. Nice start to the evening as we waited by the bar for about 45 minutes for a table. The Spanish are so chatty, they just don’t want to get up from their precious foodless tables! I don’t blame them, as there was no rush in service, there was also never any pressure to leave the restaurant/bar!

The small seating area upstairs:


Looking down at the bar from our table:


More drinks!
Tom Collins- gin, Schweppes lemon soda, sugar, soda €6.00 (left)
Margarita Blue- white tequila, lemon juice, cointreau, blue curaçao and sugar €3.50 (right)

Sweet drinks, the Tom Collins fizzy, and the Margarita Blue slushy, but with a good amount of alcohol in both.

Nachos with Cheese Dip €3.80

Thick cheddar cheese, hardened and dried a bit when we were served, with salty and very corn flavored chips. They seem to serve small portions here, but the price tag is cheap.

Burrito (chile con carne) €3.90

Loosely wrapped burrito stuffed with lots of yummy mushy beans and a bit of meat, and falls apart real easily.

Ropa Vieja €6.50

Quite a bit of mushy stringy beef in a tomatoey sauce, slightly spicy and slightly sweet, almost like a beefy stew. Comes with 2 soft baked tortillas and long white rice.

Taco of the Day (veal) €6

Chunks of chewy steak-like grilled beef and guacamole on soft tortillas.

Another good place for a fun night out and simple Mexican fare.

total+tax= €41.70 (dinner for 2)
