This was a superb culinary experience with a range of flavors evoking comfort, discovery and excitement among the array of dishes tasted. The drinks were amazing. The service was impeccable. The design of the restaurant was both playful and transporting. A definite must go!

Excellent meal, good service. Easy to get reservations. Loved the chilli's in all the Mexican inspired dishes. Definitely pricier than average but worth a try if you're in for a snack.

VIsited this place to meet my Mexican friend from Korea during my college days. A upscaled reataurant offers not only the neat and savory Mexican tastes but also Mariachis performance every first Wednesday. Wish to visit here again next time when I come back to Madrid... and hoping for a luck that the day be another first Wedensday of the month!

Not Mexican in any way. Honestly, what a shame. I had great expectations, and none of them were met, in terms of the food. I’ve lived within a Mexican family for a major part of two years, and none of the flavors were represented on this particular night. I was so surprised and disappointed by everything I tasted, I asked if I could just exchange a couple words with chef Roberto Ruiz, the only reason why I came to this place in the first place. Sadly I was told that he wasn’t here tonight. Hopefully that explains the completely foreign flavors. I started with Tacos de arrachera a la brasa. They tasted great. The meat was juicy, and honestly my only complaint was the lack of spice I’m used to. Nothing was spicy enough, besides my Paloma, so it fits the main picture. The guacamole with chicharron, was for whatever reason spattered with sunflower seeds. My server told me they prefer it without the seeds as well, even though they had recommended it to me. Weird. The octopus ceviche, was super sour from too much lime juice, and in parts the octopus was super tough, like it had spent too long marinating in the acid. Also, Cucumbers?? I got quesadillas de huitlacoche. The combo of queso fresco and lettuce on top was weird for quesadillas, as even if there was queso quesadilla, that flavor was completely offset. Although, they reminded me a lot of what flautas are supposed to taste like, so was probably the most Mexican thing here. I also got the beloved grilled fish I saw in all the photos. It was cool, for what it was, but sadly a cross between something I’d see in a fine dining place in NY and a chill Thai restaurant somewhere in LA, because of the slices of mango and chives. A very far stretch would have to be made to call it Mexican. And I’d be so okay with it, if they called it fusion. But Mexican, as it says on the main page, well, it just isn’t. I must mention, the place had live music, that played very well, and created a fun atmosphere, but also played La cucaracha, a certain banger everyone should hear within their meal. My Paloma MX was absolutely delicious. Smoky from the mezcal and sweet from the grapefruit. Bonus points for that. My final complaint comes from my single cup of black coffee. It tasted great, but again, I just wanted to see where the connection lies to call this place Mexican. I have been drinking freshly-roasted and freshly ground coffee from all over the world for many years now, and at this point can pretty much tell where it comes from from the smell alone. They served me a delicious cup of Colombian coffee, so after an overall disappointing meal, I thought, what the hell, let me ask where it comes from. I definitely was annoying enough to my server, so I asked a random bartender walking by. He said Mexico, I replied okay, but where from? He went to go ask. He comes back, and tells me it’s from Arabia. Whoever can read a label, clearly told them that the type of coffee is Arabica, however that type is grown in several huge coffee-producing countries all over the world. Sadly, none of those are “Arabia”. So I smiled, and said yeah, but where from? And so instead of bothering to come back to me and embarras themself any further, they sent another guy to start telling me they’re from Columbia, and the coffee is not Columbian. Only issue, I worked with Columbians super closely in LA, some of them are my best friends, so I immediately switched to the Usted form they would consider the only acceptable one. My guy, not only didn’t catch that, but entirely lacked a columbian accent, further proving this place is okay lying to my face. I may be white, but I know and can cook real Mexican food. I learnt from very average cooks - grandmas and mothers, and their kids carrying on their tradition, and this place would have them all running for the door. Atmosphere is great for a drink, and my service was extremely polite and well-paced. I wish Ricardo Ruiz was there tonight to make sure the food was on par, as it left me truly disappointed. There are better places with exorbitant prices in the city. 4.6/10

The food was good, it almost had an authentic feel. It’s a shame they didn’t serve a starter, like nachos and salsa, with our aperitif. The restaurant was quite busy, and we had to wait over an hour for our main course and the price was expensive for two small tacos.

We was there for lunch and I think it was an overall nice experience. We were two persons and we decided to go for a bunch of different tacos (I've already uploaded the pictures) to try and many things as possible. The octopus one was the like I liked the most and the "torrija" dessert was particularly good. The duck taco was okay but I had expected it to be more tasteful. As I said, and overall nice experience.

Really great experience. The food was amazing. The staff is super friendly... Overall it was amazing. A bit on the pricy side for those looking for value for money... If it's the experience and great food you want then the price is perfect.

Ceviche de pulpo!!! They were very patient and friendly with kids Great tacos de arrachera
