"This popular Cape Town restaurant serves delectable Mexican food, burgers, tacos and some would say the best frozen margarita jugs in Cape Town. With a relaxed but buzzing atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to head after a long day at work or for a catch up with friends. Take advantage of their extensive list of tequilas and other cold beverages during Happy Hour from 12pm until 6pm!" - Yellow Door Collective

Good food : I chose the vegan options : cheezy nachos and fajitas with plant based chicken alternative Good drinks: I had frozen margaritas 🍸 Good vibes 🕺🏿 However, I waited for a few minutes before I got a waiter, which dampened my mood a bit in the beginning. But the overall experience was good I would go there again and hope the staff would be more attentive.

It was my first time there, had such an amazing burger. Very cute and cosy spot, has heaters outside for the winter which I thought was very thoughtful of them to do. Overall a good visit and repeat location.

Great food, great atmosphere, great drinks! I love this place! You can't go there without trying, at least, one of their tequilas! If your looking for good Mexican food, that's the place to go!

I felt that the staff went above and beyond to accommodate me. I ordered the beef burrito, and I'm telling you, the portion is enough for two people😅.

Years later and I still haven't found a restaurant that makes better margaritas. The Fiesta Platter is still pretty tasty and definitely filling as well.

Gorgeous, dreamy vegan nachos and friendly staff. Definitely would eat here again.

10/10 on all aspects. This is hands down the only place I’d go for tacos and nachos, there’s sooo much flavour in these dishes and its extremely affordable too if you’re getting both items and sharing with a friend.

Went here for the first time in 2014, back in 2016 and now in 2024 and still as good as I remember. Also tried the home brewed gingerdead for the first time and you should too!
