Small quaint place which gives you the authentic hole in the wall vibes. The staff were wonderful. The burrito was good in size but I didnt find anything spicy whatsever. It was actually sweet. So if you want something thats actually spicy, dont bother with the hottest one.

Reviews
Una calmada genial, such a good quality food , the price is perfect and the place as well. Thank to Jimena, Dacemare and Samantha. They treated us so well
It was the worst taco I ever had in my life. The tomato sauce was disgraceful, they don’t even put any stuff like guacamole etc. They says everything is extra. I paid over €30 for these tacos. Not happy at all. I asked cheese also extra but they put on it like a some kind of seed. Nothing was melted. I don’t think this is a Mexican Resturant. When I asked food to be replaced and i said the sauce is weird taste, she was explaining me that what I have ordered. It was disappointed, I couldn’t even give a one star.
