The food was super tasty and big portions! Meat was nice (I’m always scared of meat abroad!!) but it was really nice meat. recommend the chicken and chorizo Mac & cheese - it was delicious. The fajitas were really nice too!

The food is average; drinks and the pub atmostphere are nice. The place was decently crowded for a weekday.

Left a review with a complain for not getting an outdoor table because we had our dog with us which by the way it never happened anywhere else but there. The reply was very rude and disrespectful, (from it I could see that he hasn’t...even read my review but jumped with insulting $ clearly they don’t know how to treat the clients right.

I’m really sorry I didn’t take a picture of the burnt 18€ burger they served me. Half the meat was burnt to a crisp, the bread looked like it was days old, the service was horrendous, there was this waiter with a beard that had...an attitude, I think he was Spanish or Mexican, other waiters looked like it was their first day on the job. I’d never go back there again. The food was nothing like the Tex Mex we went to in Marsaxlokk.More

Food was good (chicken fajitas were expensive at €25) but I wouldn’t go back there because of the music. It was absolutely blasting and none of the songs were recognisable. Plus there was a guy playing guitar next door who was really good…it would have...been great if they could have just turned off the ‘music’ outside and let us listen to him!More

The food here is outrageous - thoroughly recommend the enchiladas! They were huge and came with a range of accompaniments. The meat inside was slow cooked and tender. I also strongly recommend a mango frozen daiquiri!

Fancied something that wasn’t pasta or pizza so this did the job. Great choice of Mexican food and tasty. The location is on the “strip” as it were so people are walking through, which if you’re not expecting or wanting then I’d ask to sit...inside. I had the quesadillas which were great but wanted a side of guacamole which came in a very small bowl for €5 - tad steep! The Elvis chicken burger was delicious though!More

This bar was in the same building as my hotel, popped down after arrival at 10.00PM and the staff could not have been better. There was a good range of drinks and the menu was very good. Had the Chicken Fajitas which quite frankly rate...among the best I’ve ever had, especially the sauce. Will definitely be back.More

Average food, not very inspiring. Ok service, maybe a bit slow. The place itself is a bit worn. Finding the toilet door wasn’t possible to lock was a huge minus. It’s evident this has been the case for some time, and known for the establishment...of the. See picture. It’s also evident this easily could have been fixed with minimal effort. That makes me wonder which other short cuts they have taken.More

We went here for an evening meal and it was a big mistake.... it's very brash and the music is very loud. Large television's surrounding you..... Many people may enjoy that atmosphere....... !!! The chicken caesar salad was very good to be fair, tasty and...a big portion. The beef quesadilla on the other hand was too oily and did not quite hit the mark.... Prices for food and drinks are quite high, for what is essentially a fast food establishment.More

Drinks ok. Tex Mex don’t seem to realise that there’s a hotel on the floors above. Music ridiculously loud and anti-social and ignored messages to address.
