The nachos and sweet potato chips were great to snack on! The platter was HUGE and full of caloriea and heartburn but awesomely tasty with risotto balls , wings , poppers, calamari , quesedillas & more!

Yajna Gold

Starter portion of cheesy nachos was o so generous - this is one of the best spots in Cape Town for sure!

Yajna Gold

Vegetarian fajita was amazing and large, tasty enchiladas and margaritas ! Don't get the tacos - it's small & you'll be disappointed. Opt for nachos or quesdillas

Yajna Gold

A ginger bread tequila ? I don't mind if I do... add a bit of cranberry juice you say? What a fancy cocktail ! 1 sip got me wasted and tasted like heaven on earth!! My invention. You're welcome :)

The atmosphere here is amazing, the food is divine and the staff is friendly , they have good wifi as well

This place deserves respect for creating the Gingerbread Tequila and the Iceberg (Lager with a frozen margarita top). Try both!

Yajna Gold

These cheese and tomato quesidillas were super tasty and filling for only 60 bux #mexican #vegetarian

Sugary margaritas ; don't expect a traditional Mexican style . Still yummy, especially strawberry lime ! Veg fajitas are my favorite thing on the menu.

Andre

The Burrito was great. Nice American Red Craft Beer on tap

Keabetswe Kekana

My best Mexican food experience!! And their margarita's are awesome.

Yajna Gold

Such a great bar to chill out at, I had late night waffles and wine !

Kristoffer Gallefoss

Cool place in a good location, with good service . But I think the fish tacos are underwhelming (it's basically fish sticks in a tortilla ). Also, skip the margarita , it's from a slush machine.

Яyan Miller

Pretty rad one with a great vibe. Gets a little full so go earl rather or book . And parking is a huge thing..

Mahaveer Chavda

Great place good atmosphere and most of all food watchout refried beans means blended beans

Kevin

Amazing service, margarita jugs are incredible and try the Chicken BBQ Fajitas . To die for!

Nick Longley

Not bad. The iceberg beer (beer with margarita ) and the pulled pork tacos are worth a try. Service could be better

Yajna Gold

Cool place for a birthday present get-together

Yumi Inada

The margaritas and beer infused margaritas are to die for!

Carlo Palomba

It's ALL good. Good luck.

Beth Gossip

Try the Corn Fritters and Jalapeno Poppers starters - awesome!

candace freeman

Needless to say that the Chuck Norris burger is kick-ass!

Kowie Lotter

Striped Horse pilsner and lager available. Awesome

Keith Dinnematin

Best nachos I've ever had.

candace freeman

Their 'moggy-rita' jugs are to die for!

Celeste Perry

Check out the 19.90 breakfast special and the R30.00 lunch special - great value for money

Richard Wooding

Reliable Tex Mex food.

Yajna Gold

Very dissappointing! 3poppers for 40bux and dry chicken in the enchilada with a gross tomato /corn flavor. Panchos is much better!

K.A.

My favourite place

Giuseppe Soffietti

Margaritas are great.

Daryl Brown

Excellent service and authentic decor. Read more

Brian Ndamandama

Not the best Mexican in town as its popularly known for, try Panchos for that! Service is sub par, margaritas are bland and watered down and food is sub par!

Dean Cannell

Mango & strawberry frozen margaritas are freakin' amazing!

Ric Ruben
