Ordered the fish tacos, love the fresh made tortillas, too bad the nachos weren't made with freshly fried chips. I would come back for the tacos.

The food is excellent and they have Corona. What more can you possible want? The restaurant is cosy and the waiters are above average. It's a little dark to read the menu. But overall it's high quality.

We have been traveling for 6 months in SE Asia and this was the perfect place to get our Mexican fix! Down a side alley but near our hotel. We tried the nachos, burrito, tacos, and quesadillas. All very good. Portions were a bit small. The flavor is more south western and the tomatillo sauce has a nice bite to... More

Needed to grab a quick snack and as it was next door to our hotel (blue lime) we grabbed some nachos and chips- food was fairly good although a bit too oily, beer was cold and cheap Probably wouldn't go too far out of the way to find it though

Food is not good. Place is small and dingy. Is in a back alley and not easy to find.I only went once for the Mexican food and would not go back again. There are now 3 better places.

Ally Cat can be really hot at times, and the staff can sometimes be a little lacking in English ability. Other than that, I can't think of a bad thing to say about the place. There is a reason it has been around for years, and it is the food. Very good Mexican food and burgers, as well as what... More

Have ordered delivery and take out from here 4 times now and each time has been quick, the food hot and tasty and while not cheap i think the prices are reasonable. Definitly worth it and i will certainly be doing so again.

I'm very sorry that you were disappointed on your last visit. Business was down due to the works out on the street, but it has rebounded now. We had some new staff training at the time of your last visit, they may have made some mistakes. I hope you can forgive us for having an off day, and I would... More

Monday from 7:00 to 9:00 they offer margarita pitchers for $10.00. Glad we found it, just look for the yellow... More
