The food in this place was average the first time I tried it. But now its insanely good. I not have a mission to try everything on the menu. I enjoyed it so much so well done for that guys.... 2 small problems, you need a toilet. Its a sit down food establishment it should have a toilet.... also the kitchen needs a stronger fan or to be divided from the sit down area as there is a strong smell of greasy fryer..... staff seem friendly and work efficiently, keep up the good work guys.

Reviews
I ordered food for four people and paid a lot of money, but the experience was extremely disappointing. The food arrived cold, the portions were very small, and the quality did not justify the high prices at all.
How can you charge so much for one small tortilla? If I had known the food would look and taste like this, I would never have placed the order.
The tacos were also very disappointing. Instead of crispy taco shells, they were made with ordinary soft tortillas. The overall flavor was bland and far below my expectations. This was a complete waste of money, and I definitely won’t be ordering from here again.
Yesterday marked my third visit, and once again the food did not disappoint. My sister ordered the pork burrito, and the portion was incredibly generous. I got a burrito bowl and the pineapple salsa was the real standout ⭐ Our server was lovely too! Great to see Mexican food in Cavan - highly recommend!
