Come here for magarita concoctions and draft beers . Go with Korean-Mex grub like Kimchi fries which sound totally weird but is surprisingly addictive. Honey spicy chicken and quesadillas r good too.

Cheen The Curious

On Taco Tuesdays , they sell you 3 (of the same) tacos for the price of 2. It's not "order 2 different servings of tacos , get the 3rd free".

Cheen The Curious

Tacos . We sampled Baja Fish , Barbacoa Pork , & Galbi Short Rib . Enjoyed the pork & beef fillings, & their tasty marinate

Kamilla Madsen

Lime prawn tacos were good. Service is very nice, you can tell they've been taught that the costumer is always right. If you're not into a lively atmosphere , don't come. Saturday night was packed!!

Matthew Ng

A fantastic establishment and suitable alternative to Lucha Loco. I really enjoyed the kimchi fries and fish tacos . Margaritas were also strong and top notch.

Anne Åsen

Their tacos and quesedillas (especially the spicy chicken and the mango shrimp ) taste amazing???????????????? and do not miss out on the frozen margaritas????

Cheen The Curious

Parking . The restaurant is near enough to Shaw Towers to enjoy cheaper parking ($2.20 after 5pm, $2.14 per entry Sat/Sun) compared to South Beach $3.50 after 6pm & $5 per entry on weekends

Heather SW

The chili-lime shrimp tacos are gorgeous! Actually the only thing I've had that I wouldn't get again was the queso , cinnamon does not belong in queso . Friendly service and great food.

Travis Murdock

I grew up in Los Angeles and San Francisco. I know a good taco . This is in the very top. I got the pork belly taco in a Korean style . Simply masterful.

Mar Pe Mo

Better if you make a reservation before. Nice food and atmosphere. Drinks are huge; frozen margaritas a must try ????????

Cheen The Curious

Fried cheeseburger spring rolls were surprisingly tasty. Ground beef , cheese with flavours of mustard , ketchup & relish all in

Vally Azar

I don't know if they're massaging that pig on the daily or feeding it gourmet slop, but those pork belly tacos taste good. It tastes simple, clean , and yummy.

Cheen The Curious

Their taco menu seems to favour the oink! oink! "cerdo". Out of 10 ideas, 4 are made with pork , including their signature "Urban"

Deni Dickson Snyder

Ok. I'm a little Mexican girl from Texas so I'm going to be pretty hard to please. They tacos were so so. Great, expensive , Rita's. Good beer list . Salsa was pretty good. Fun place none the less.

Cheen The Curious

Mexican Martini . Surprisingly refreshing tequila cocktail . Great as a digestif. Smooth & well-rounded, without that overpowering tequila aftertaste

Dellia Lim

Kimchi Cheese fries and Cheese quesadillas were awesome! Disappointed with the pork belly tacos (too gamy). Reservations are a must!

Steven Doyle

Great vibe (especially for Singapore) the tacos are great and the Watermelon beer is worth trying ????????????????????????

Nelson Tan

Kimchi fried ???????? Atmosphere is great, go for the "-ritas" as it's huge enough to share among 2-3 people.

Jane Tok

Love the kimchi fries ! Good n fast service . Good range of food n prices. Will be back!

Li-Sha Lapar

The Galbi short rib tacos are SO DELICIOUS. I've had these twice in a week. Plus, Ubereats delivers !

Cheen The Curious

Margarita Mondays. $12 for their signature margarita . 30% off the other margarita offerings. Alcoholics , take note!

Jenya S

Loved the fat bastard burrito bowl (with pulled pork and beef ). The portions are huge though, so it’s great if you are super hungry.

Gabriel Seah

They have American portions (except for the tacos ). Especially for the drinks which are huge

Sawit K.

Barbacoa jalapeño spring rolls , taste good. I love dips both

Sawit K.

Yummy kimchi carnitas fries . Large portion , good for sharing

Cristo

Amiro P.

Amazing Mexican Korean fusion. You cant go worong with the chicken chimichuri soft tacos .

Huge margaritas (like 1 liter size) that are above average in quality. Good food. Fun place.

Krishna Zulkarnain

My first taste of Kimchee Fries and pork belly Taco 's and it was life changing. Obsessed now

Camille

Pretty decent selection of beers . The soft shell tacos are good but a bit pricey . Overall good place to try at least once

Huixian Yang

Spicy chicken quesadillas were amazing! So was the surf and turf burrito bowl

Jonathan Lim

Love the kimchi carnitas fries ! #Yummy

Ali M

The TGIFridays of Singapore, give it a miss if you like authenticity and unique spots. Very expensive .

Gabriel Seah

Large peach Iced tea is huge

Elizabeth Lee

Kimchi fries was not bad but bit pricey . Tacos was pretty good too, 2 tacos were more than enough for me.

Boybitch

Margaritas are 12$ on Monday

Jackie C.

All tacos , kimchi fries and quesadillas are good

Aaron P.

The carne asawa quesadillas are chewy and meaty. Perfect.

Pat C.

Giving classic carne asadas 2 thumbs up! ????????????????

KarLuis Q

I had the worst tacos , no, I should say, the worst MEAL of my life here. The taco skins were thicker than banana skins and tasted only of flour - none of the toasted corn aroma I expect of tacos .

Ryan Nguyen

Pork belly tacos are my fav

Gabriel Seah

Nutella nachos actually works

Sarav S

Kimchi Fries , tacos

Krishna Zulkarnain

Try the Kim chi fries . Its sick!

Rhicke Jennings

The fish tacos are delicious

Naveeshini Nair

Burritos,kimchi fries

KarLuis Q

Everyone's raving about the kimchi fries here - I don't get it??? The fries are obviously made from store-bought packets and the toppings were mediocre. Shame.
