    Tex-Mex style food in the east of England, it's not authentic, but then, what is? It's certainly…read morestyled like Mexican food, but I don't know of any Mexican place that does "Peri-Peri Snapper" or "Hawaiian Chicken." It's on the first floor ("second floor" in American) up a flight of stairs. I don't believe that they have a lift ("elevator") so if that's a requirement for you or someone in your dining party, consider another restaurant. There was a bunch of us that showed up without a reservation, so we got drinks and waited in an interesting sofa-equipped lounge area until our table was ready. It was quite odd to see Blue Moon and Coors Light on tap, so I had the first "Silver Bullet" in over a year. Yes, it tasted exactly the same as any that I've had back in the States. The Blue Moon did not have the usual slice of orange in it that's the norm when it's served in the US. For starters, I went with the chicken nachos. A huge portion with a large scoop of sour cream on top. Only a few jalapenos, but a good amount of chicken and cheese. It was good! For the main, I had something they called a Mexican Blanket. A large 12 inch tortilla folded with chicken and BBQ pork topped with cheese and ranchero sauce, served with a massive pile of salad and a large portion of rice. The portion was huge - as large as you could expect in any American restaurant. About halfway through, I gave up on trying to clean my plate and started digging through the thing for the meat bits. No dessert, but someone ordered a pitcher each of their regular and strawberry margaritas. I thought they were quite weak without enough tequila to taste and way too much sweetness. But maybe that's what they consider a margarita over here. Decent service, though somehow we ended up with a strange £100 charge for tacos on the bill. I don't know if this was accidental or our waiter was trying to pull a fast one with a large group. He took it right off when we pointed it out. I've been told it's a great place for lunch with a decent chicken chimichanga. Perhaps I'll try that next time.

    Being from the States and having tried my share of Tex-Mex (Texas, Florida, etc), I was pretty…read moreimpressed with this place. My husband and I gave it a go after seeing it on Google Maps when visiting the area. While the name seems something more fitting for a Caribbean style restaurant and some dishes weren't the norm for a typical Tex-Mex, this place is worth trying! I had them make me a chocolate and strawberry mixed shake, which was delicious! We tried the Jalapeño Poppers to start and they were okay. Not as spicy as I would have liked, but not horrible. I ate the Ultimate Nachos as a meal (it's an appetizer/starter) with the Cajun chicken and was relieved to find they tasted close to authentic Tex-Mex. There was just the right amount of ingredients and enough to share (I ended up taking some home). My husband tried their beef fajitas and they were surprisingly yummy. They marinated the beef differently than what we've had at a Mexican restaurant before, making it slightly sweet tasting, and came with quite a good amount of beef. It was actually a big enough portion that we could have shared, had we known in advance. Price wasn't too bad and waiting time was just right. Servers were attentive, helpful, and friendly. Not only will we be recommend this to our friends, we will definitely go back to try more of the tasty looking dishes.
