"Review of Mexican Restaurant in Villajoyosa What a brilliant find in Villajoyosa! The young team here are full of energy and charm friendly, attentive, and clearly proud of what they serve. The food is fresh, colourful and full of flavour, with fantastic vegetarian and vegan options that don’t feel like an afterthought. Every dish tasted homemade and packed with fresh ingredients. A really vibrant, relaxed spot that’s perfect for anyone who loves authentic Mexican food with a modern twist. Dare to try the two Chilli sauces ? Highly recommended!"

"I can confirm I am not a friend of the owner despite what a previous review says . I don't know how anyone could say portions are small, ate here tonight as a family and the food was lovely and there was plenty of it. The service even better, very friendly. May not be cheap but you get what you pay for and it was well worth the cost. We will return :)."
