With Mexican chefs that understand the heart of Mexican fare, this restaurant strays from the more common Tex-Mex stereotypes experienced elsewhere. When I first arrived for my dinner, I was taken by the beautiful central chandelier and how well the restaurant design incorporated the Mexican aesthetic. I was welcomed by an extremely friendly waiter, who was more than happy to explain the menu and recommend dishes. I opted to try pork tacos with grilled pineapple, and fresh octopus with avocado, cucumber and radish in salsa macha. Talk about wowing me from the start! Grilling the pineapple brought out an extra layer of sweetness that tenderized the pork even more, for melt-in-your-mouth juiciness. The creamy avocado with fresh cucumber and spicy radish paired great with the octopus, and I couldn't wait for my next course! Upon recommendation from the waiter, I tried the tender lamb, which was slow cooked for 5 hours and wrapped in banana leaves. Perfectly seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices! I'm happy I listened! I can never pass up churros with chocolate sauce, as they piqued the interest of my sweet tooth. To finish the meal, I enjoyed a biscuit covered in sweet potato puree, cream cheese with cinnamon, ice cream and caramelized peanuts. Never before has my palate been so delighted by as combination of flavors. I love Mexican food, and was delighted to find this charm! To dine here is a true gastronomical experience, partaking in a fusion of tradition cultural cuisine with modern day flair. I'd highly recommend a dinner here during a night out, as the service, food, and atmosphere can't be beat.

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.

TOURISTS BEWARE! This review is strictly about the service…read more We did not get a chance to try their food. We arrived at around 7:40PM on a Tuesday. Before we were seated the hostess had a 5 minute conversation with the waitstaff as we stood around awkwardly waiting to be seated. For the record we don't speak Italian. There was not a SOUL inside the restaurant. Not a single table was occupied. There were 4-5 wait staff present. They sat us in a tiny corner next to the glass door entrance. The waitstaff was milling around as we looked at the menus. 15 minutes later (not exaggerating) no one came to take our order, offer water or even say hello. They looked annoyed that we were there. I motioned to a waiter and pointed to the menu. He looked mad that we interrupted whatever he was doing. We got up and left! I don't know if they don't like tourists, or the fact that we don't speak Italian. We never got an explanation nor do we care to find out. Take this for what it's worth. This restaurant is it in the main touristy area. Perhaps they don't want to be bother with foreigners. Do Not Go!

I sought out this mostly plant based restaurant before visiting Milan. Made reservations tonight…read moreand so happy I did. Service was friendly and as usual most Italians speak English and were happy to converse in our language. I need to learn Italian! The wine list is excellent. I tried an Italian Gewürztraminer which was exceptional. Also tried an Italian Sauvignon Blanc equally unique. They have some omni dishes I think with fish, but I only looked at the clearly marked vegan options which were plentiful. From first courses to dessert, everything was hot and well made. The interior is cozy and beautifully designed. You can come from work or dress casual. Come as you are. I'll be back to eat and drink at this gem.

Other stuff was solid. Potatoes, as advertised, were soft on the middle and crunchy on the outside.

Oh so good! but if only this place wasn't so bloody expensive!…read more Even if you are not yet tired of Italian food, you should still go here. Tacos were absolutely awesome! They were loaded with ingredients, almost too much. Even if you follow the taco eating instructions on the menu, you will still inevitably end up eating a third to half the filling with a fork and knife. But, perhaps this is a good thing. Tacos, just like all food required a rather delicate balance of ingredients. Too little filling, and you now have too much tortilla. Also, it made the price seem better if you got a loaded taco as opposed to one with barely anything inside. Ingredients were all of high quality, sliced and added almost in front of you (well, in an open kitchen with a wood stove) Guac was awesome too! Service was nice, and adjusted the music a bit quieter upon request (always a plus) Tacos took a bit to come out, but I could see the artist of a chef making them, so no blame there. Lots of hot sauces at the table, but I wish they were labeled just a little bit better.

When reading my review, remember I come from Texas (aka, the home of Tex Mex and queso). After…read moreliving in Milan for a bit, my fellow Texan and I started to crave Mexican food. We'd walked past Mexicali a couple of times and felt like we should finally stop by and try it. The mixed fajitas were surprisingly good and flavorful! The tortillas were warm when they came out and tasted like they were home made. The guacamole was missing some flavor but it all scratched the itch of missing guacamole. My friend had the vegetarian enchiladas (which they gave her at lunch time, though it is a dinner menu). Her dish came with Mexican rice and black beans. The rice wasn't great but the beans had a good flavor that went nicely with the enchiladas. Unfortunately, the chips and salsa don't live up to par. It has way too much tomato, and not enough onions, cilantro, jalapeños, etc. We ate it because it had been so long since we'd had chips but keep your expectations low on the salsa. We'll be back to have our same dishes, simply because they bring a little piece of home to Milan. But just keep in mind that this is Italian-Mex, and not Tex-Mex.
