Came here for a birthday dinner, the two floor restaurant had a wildly colourful street art-ish decor and a cool casual vibe with music playing at the bar (and cozy rooftop terrace) 9pm onwards. Fun! The guacamole to start was fresh and had good texture although I like mine with a tad more salt and wondered if it was topped off with some truffle oil which did not seem to match for my taste. I enjoyed their fish tacos although I found the portion small for the price, and the slow cooked chicken super moist and juicy, but for me the star was the dessert. (Except the flan, that was too thick and dense for my liking.) I loved the tres leches and churros, the former creamy, milky and unconventionally sprinkled with sweet popcorn for a twist, the latter crispy on the outside, warm and chewy on the inside and paired with a strong caramel ice cream that complemented well with the sweet sugar dusting. I don't know what street food Mexican is supposed to be like, but the taste, the fun vibes and the friendly staff were both 👍🏼enough that I would be happy to return again!
