The best tacos in Barcelona? Maybe. These guys make simple classics superb like chicken and avocado. And then have amazing ceviche tostadas, not to mention chef tacos like the Sollomini Rossini… unreal. Very friendly guys and great food.

Great quality Mexican food! I tried the tacos al pastor and the prawn tacos—both were delicious, but I preferred the pastor. For drinks, I highly recommend the michelada. It would be great if they offered more sauce options, like a salsa verde, on the table. (Right now there are 2 salsa options both red) It can get busy, so it's best to make a reservation I would definitely return to try more dishes.

The food is amazing! The creative tacos are unlike anything I've found elsewhere. The quesadillas are delicious—crispy on the outside and incredibly juicy on the inside. The service is also very good. and we had a wonderful time there!

I ordered Tacos al pastor and Quesadillas de asada. I really enjoyed the quesadillas de asada, the meat was very tender and delicious, it was very well seasoned. I was offered a shot of Rompope on the house.

Great tacos. Best I have ever tried. Fun fact: the tortillas are made with blue corn flour, which is gluten free!! We tried the whole menu and it was delicious! The obvious recommendation is the Solomillo Rosinni. You can’t go wrong with those flavours. However, I like to be more adventurous and try new things. Therefore, my recommendations are: the lubina, and BOTH tostadas. They were amazing. In addition, the mole was the best I have tried, but it is a more difficult taste for some people. I would definitely try their pudding if you have a sweet tooth like me. It is more like a soft cheesecake with a liqueur on top. For drinks, the Frozen margaritas were really refreshing. Perhaps, my only “complaint” would be the spice. Don’t expect any kick from any of these tacos. They do have two nice salsas you can add yourselves if you like spicy food like me. To be honest, most of these tacos do not pair well with a spicy salsa, but I would totally recommend to add spice to the more traditional ones, like El Pastor, and the quesadillas.

A taco joint with raving reviews so i decided to give it a try! Overall i was happi with tacos, especially the fish. It will be great if the menu have combo of ordering different tacos instead of a set of 3 of the same tacos. friendly service and decent food, i’ll say if you are looking for good tacos, a quick bite, this is a good pick.

Amazing experience. Definetely the best tacos and quesadilla I’ve ever had. Specially the solomillo and al pastor ones. Staff was also super friendly and managed to sit us on the terrace even though our reservation was inside. Will come back for sure :)
