If it's by the foundry I don't think it's a restaurant...just another take away moving into a spot that has been inhabited by about 10 other take aways in the last 5 years.

Yeah, it's no restaurant. It's in where Florinis or whatever that pizza place was called. I'm sure after a few drinks I'll be in there for a burrito.

Pity, a really good eat in mexican would be fantastic in Waterford.

I do have to say the diversity of restaurants in the city is a great thing and should cover most peoples tastes.

You got me all excited there. A Mexican eatery to sit in and enjoy would be nice. A takeaway would be worth a try also

I was just saying an hour ago it would be great to be able to get a decent burrito in Waterford.

A Mexican after a feed of beer. Your hole would be like the flag of Japan the morning after.

What ever happened to the Mexican restaurant out in Tramore? That was quite nice.
Still, good to have a change to the take away usuals of pizza and Chinese!

Sign says it's opening on 12/12/12 at 12:12

About time there was a Mexican place in Waterford.

Had a Burrito there last night, was quite tasty, thought it was maybe a little expensive at 7 euro for just the burrito no sides or drink. Maybe that's just cause i'm so used to meal deals now

jennygirl

just had a Burrito -
large and tasty - filling - no need for chips -
but disorganised still --- but has potential.....
its street style food --- not restaurant food
thumbs up for something different!!!

packet of Old El Paso seasoning mix....WTF

Yeah, I couldn't be bothered with em. I saw all the Old El Paso stuff in there last night, I'd make a tastier burrito/fajita myself.

Trick of the Tail

Is this a sit down place or just takeaway?

A.

AdMMM

There's a few seats in there. About half of what Apache have.

i saw them too but they are corn tortillas. .they are not old el paso seasoning mix. by the way do u know how much is the old paso corn tortillas in tesco? 2.59 cent each
wtf you dreaming on about doing a full taco for 1/4 cost.
by the way old el paso is the only and best mexican supplier in ireland since last 10 years.at least they are using good product.
i tried once and it is very taste and they are very friendly.also there is a similar business in dublin it is call boojum and this guys in waterford good as one in dublin.

Take another read of my post.... The chef showed me the packet.
You sound like a expert on retail Mexican supplies... would you have an agenda here??

My point is, if you buy the spices and do it yourself you will ALWAYS get a tastier plate, that's what real cooks do..

Just off shift I see....many customers tonight?

johnnykilo

Walked by the place tonight, it's closed til the 27th or the 29th due to the festive season. Probably not the best business decision to close on one of the busiest weeks of the year, especially seeing as the place has only been open a week or 2. Insert your own Mexican jokes here

If you want to act like you don't work there, leave out the advertising.

I got some food in there recently and I would like to humbly offer the following advice to the proprietors:

(Disclaimer: I have zero experience in the food industry, the following is just my opinion as a lover of food)

-Please get a phone

-Offer a delivery service, even if it's only for orders over €30.

-Get better staff or train the ones you have better. I realise it is not a fast food joint per se, but things need to happen a little quicker.

-Nobody is offering what you are in the town, capitalise on this, don't make it so complicated for newcomers to Mexican food to order, have 'chef specials' with catchy names rather than making it a 'custom build' menu. I appreciate being able to choose the type of beans etc., but most won't.

- You are right to avoid the 2am crowd, your food is better than that, but you shouldn't write off the 2pm Sunday Irish hangover market... a lot of people will pay cash money for some comfort food right then, especially if it is delivered. Even if you open from 3pm to 6pm on Sunday you will corner this market, as many people just don't want to cook on Sunday here.

-Think about revising the colour scheme of the exterior, and get a proper online presence. People want this type of food! Search engines using your business name shouldn't result in mostly US businesses of the same name, or your Facebook page (with no phone number).

I wish you luck as I appreciate what you are trying to do, and for what it's worth I very much enjoyed your food when I eventually got it.

I agree, it took a little while for us to get served he said sorry and took like 1.50 off each fajita for us which was sound and even offered us free nachos when we were finished.

They are very friendly in there though.

Been down there the last 3 nights haha

Had a pork burrito in there the other night and it was unreal, a little bit on the expensive side but it was probably the nicest fast food I've had in a long time, I'm craving another one now.
