Went with Mexican friend. Pretty authentic . And amazing drinks too. Huge portions . So order thoughtfully. However think before asking them to make your food spicy . They add some very strong chili
Get an Ilegal Mezcal if you are man enought. The Tortilla Soup is amazing. If you ask for the Pollo con Mole Poblano tell then to skip the fries and put some mole on the rice , you'll love it!
Try to get a table by the windows so you can overlook Market Square. Also, make sure to try the queso and chips . Sangria and margaritas are delicioso!! A must try!
1) GET THE CILANTRO MARGARITA ! 2) ASK FOR THE HOMEMADE HOT SAUCE (it's pink/light orange habanero sauce . Super hot. Super delicious)
Love the food. Everytime it never disappoints. Mahi mahi tacos are great. Guacamole is fantastic!
The margaritas will rock your socks. The tacos del guero are amazing, but have a kick. For a little milder option, order the tacos checandole
THE QUESO IS MADE OF PEEEEEEOPLLLLLLLLLLE!
Tania is a phenomenal server. The potatoes are TO DIE FOR. Favorite Mexican joint in the city , hands down.
Forgot our food for an hour last year, and today had no idea Mexico was even playing, let alone in the Semis. And then didnt have Telemundo or Fox to watch it on. Not really sure what they're good for
Authentic & delicious. Always top notch. Mole sauce is amazing.
Order a glass of horchata (cinnamon rice milk ) and drink it ICE COLD. It's not on the menu but its worth trying!
The food was very good. Get the chips and queso . But the service incredibly slow. Nearly 2 hours for dinner !
Sopecitos are excellent as is the sangria .
The Cancun burrito is bomb! Nia is AWESOME!
During big events they might kick you out of your table after you pay, but they are super busy and they do let you just migrate to the bar .
The queso is amazing and the tacos are pretty good! Just don't ever expect to see your waiter again after he takes your order. The service is pretty bad.
Las Velas lunch combo is really good.
Sat there for 7 minutes at the bar and no one approached us. We left
Cancun Burrito was excellent.
Don't leave without having a margarita !
Service was slow but the jalapeno cucumber marg was tasty
Jalapeno margarita isn't spicy
Hidden gem !
Try the sangria , amazing!!
Great margs !
Great food & serve!!
The lunch combo is a good way to explore their offerings.
Chips and Queso are fantastic!
Banana margarita
Good food. .
Try the steak quesadilla !!
Chicken Fajita Salad :)
Go to Las Velas and try the fish tacos for lunch . They are magnificent.
Meh... Main course was ok but the salsa was BLAND and the chips had absolutely NO salt.
try the shrimp tacos . they will change you life.
I gave this place 3 chances to impress me. I won't be back. Food is not even as good as Taco Bell. Worst tortilla soup ever
Salsa is weak and chips came out of a bag
Meh. Pricey , average mexican food .
have lunch with the mayor.

One of the best food and pastry selections Downtown. Try the raspberry scones. - Annika
Pretty good. Friendly staff and love the tofu. The salsa bar is a little disappointing to spicy lovers and they seem to like to put tomatoes in everything (include guac). - Luna La Creme
Food was very good. Came her for date night with my girlfriend and she loved it. The service was also very good and the atmosphere was just as amazing. - terelle smith
Ive only been here about 4 times, but each time was memorable. Great shows. Great talent. Always worth it. - Lilith Fury
Make sure you try something from the craft beer stand. They are all delicious and there's a good variety to try. - Kevin Vincent
