    I really want to give this place 4 stars, however, I can't. The service wasn't great, it was quick,…read moreyet after the seating, drinks, and food was ordered our waiter returned only to bring the food and take the plates. So I have to knock off one star for that. The other star that I want to give was for the food, it was great, in a manner. This place touts itself as Tex-Mex, when it really shouldn't. Had they called it Tex-Mex inspired cuisine, this place would be 4 stars. Had the margarita not tasted like everclear, tequila, and 2 drops of lemon juice this place would get 4 stars. Had the chips and salsa ever showed up, the salsa had any flavor besides garlic, had the tacos I ordered not been a burrito, hell, had someone in the place spoken Spanish I'd give it 4 stars. Sadly, I have to cut out the second star. All this being said, I really want to go back and try the burgers. They looked and smelled delicious. The tequila selection was one of the better ones I've seen in Italy. The atmosphere was nice, the people were friendly when they talked to us. But it wasn't a Tex-Mex restaurant. I am aware this place is located in Italy, I'm aware that is nowhere near Mexico or even the great state of Texas. But if you call it Tex-Mex MAKE TEX-MEX. Again if your looking for a burger with a semi Mexican flair in Milan this seemed like the place, sadly none in my group tried one. Maybe next time.

    Went here for a dinner after looking for a non-Italian cuisine place around Fondazione Prada. The…read moreplace was very quiet, with all of Milan sleeping off after the winter holidays. There were just 2-3 other tables occupied apart from us. There is a table aside with complimentary chips and a few different salsas for the time waiting for orders. Waiting was not too long, though. Fast came a finely-pureed guacamole. Followed by beef fajitas with a range of 5-6 toppings and quesadillas (mysteriously labeled in the menu as Burrito Santa Fe). Baseline meat and produce quality is very good and it reflects in the final dish. The specifics of flavors are a bit off from TexMex cuisine in the USA or Mexican cuisine in Mexico proper, but this is one of the better Mexican places I encountered in Europe so far. The most important aspect of the place, though, the one bringing up the stars, is the cocktail menu taking several pages. The place used to be previously a cocktail-only bar before adding a full kitchen. A range of cocktails use house-infused vodkas and syrups line up in labeled colorful bottles along the bar, think the flavors of oregano or black tea or Sichuan pepper. After talking to the bartender-owner about them for a bit, we got even a few complementary shots of the latter infused vodka. The infusions, mixed up with more classic alcohols, make for a complex multi-layered flavors, with distinguishable first and second and third waves. For a special cocktail serving experience, ask for a Porno Tommy.

    Self-described as "comida Latina" & "Mexican takeway" but no respectable Latino or Mexican would…read moreconsider it that. The menu is a mish-mosh of some classic Latin ingredients like ground chorizo or avocado with some imposters like hard taco shells or ham & cheese empanadas or nachos. Taking this into account, they do offer a variety of fairly-priced small bites & were open all day during a bank holiday (hard to find in Milan). Also, the place is like a food truck with a roof, so there's not a lot of space to get comfy; 4 stools at a counter against the wall. The food was not bad. The empanadas were flavorful & the tacos were good. The carnitas is cooked in a sweet n savory sauce which threw us off but it was good enough to finish. We originally went in for the advertised jalapeños rellenos but they were out. We think we were overcharged; we weren't sure because the menu doesn't clearly state the prices for the tacos. It just says "starting at 2€". I would have given them an extra star because the food wasn't terrible & prices were good BUT more importantly, the gentleman who we paid at the register, who handled our cash, who texted on his phone for a while, was the same person who also prepared/cooked/served our food without washing his hands or wearing gloves. He handled the raw ingredients then handled the taco shells, etc. Everything happened so fast that I didn't say anything. Food safety doesn't seem to be a gigantic priority in a lot of restaurants around the city but I don't want to be reminded when I'm standing right in front of you watching what you're doing & I see you have all the time in the world to take 15 seconds to wash your hands. If I should return, I'll be ready to remind him I don't want Ecoli today.

    Came here for dinner and boy was that a good idea…read more Pros: - They really pack your burrito until it bursts! - The burrito comes with one type of meat (chicken, pork, sausage (amazing), chili, or the vegetarian option spinach), cheese, sour cream, guacamole, salsa (mild), lettuce, beans, and rice - Only 4.50 euro for burritos and 2.00 euro for taco Cons: - There will be a line since it's only one person packing the burrito - Limited seating - Open at 7PM
