    I would certainly return in the future in hope that it has improved. It must be said that it's locally owned and the women seem like they're only feeling themselves into the business. It's not as if it's a chain that has been opened.

    They need time to develop themselves and I hope that they do so.

    Quick question for those who have eaten there... are the tortilla's home made, or are they the usual stuff you'd be given if you bought a wrap at a deli? This makes a huge difference!

    They're from a packet.

    Born and "bread". :D Wasn't there a thread here a few years ago about sodacakes in Thomondgate?

    But kudos for the quick turnaround in responding to customer feedback. That's impressive.

    Went there the other day bit of a weird set up tables and chairs are like something that were pulled out of an old club house! The food was ok, pork was nice , microwaved wraps (right in front of you) , beans were undercooked an hard.

    I really wanted this place to be nice , limerick was in need for a burrito place. Hopefully they'll improve , but first impression wasn't great!

    I take your point on the decor, its not flash..but to my mind you can see this is something that is just starting out, probably on a shoestring budget...but to me it felt like something that was being done from the heart. There was one table near the couner, which just has a rug thing on it and no seats which seemed totally pointless..but they were only open a couple of days

    The lady behind the counter is superb....anyone who hadnt a clue what they were ordering was walked through the menu and that is to be commended. Might take a bit longer but worth it I thought.

    The microwave was a little bit of a stcking point for me too, but a small one. Just not a fan of micro waves..but if i hadnt seen it, I probably wouldnt have noticed. My beans were fine. Had the pinto beans

    Delighted they are taking on board the comments..especially regarding the chilli sauce. The "intense" one was ..well.. not very intense but I can see why the may not want to burn the mouth off people when just open. Allowing people to try the sauces is a good move..so they could probably afford to be a bit more adventurous in that regard

    I wish them well anyway and if they make changes based on feedback, they will do well. Hope they start to open later at the weekend too. They should do very well in the after pub/ club trade...beats the usual places hand down.

    Whatever happens, I hope they don't lose the personal touch of the place. The staff are really excellent.

    Excellent service and good to see they are taking customer feedback on board. Food was very good too!

    Only advice I would have is to give the place a more Mexican feel in terms of decoration. But I'm guessing that will come with time.

    There was also a smell coming from the toilets too but again hopefully this can be addressed :)

    Like most people in this thread, would love to see this business thrive and succeed.

    Because two people, in a row joined boards.ie simply to give a bad review of a new restaurant in the city centre. That's why it's suspicious.

    Generally when first time posters come on and give a terrible review, they're usually from a competitor or someone with an interest in the business failing.

    A glowing review, they're usually from the business or are friends with the owner.

    Came on to share my experience of it when I found the thread after a google search. Nothing more, nothing less.

    Right so 2 new users appear and do nothing on boards but give the place negative feedback while pretty much everyone else is happy with the food. Seems like some competitor is worried about the place :D

    Had the pork burrito today. One of the nicest burritos I have ever had. Will be getting the same tomorrow.

    I introduced one of the lads to this place today. Both of us had chicken, pinto beans and the inferno salsa, I had guacamole and my friend had cheese.

    The new salsa is soooo much hotter than the previous "hot" option! :D But that's still there too. Also, the menu is a lot clearer than it used to be.

    Haven't been there before, might during the week, love a bit of Mexican food and the reviews seem to be very positive.


    Question- how long does it take to get served generally? And would you say it's good value?

    I've been in there 3 times now, I think. It was quiet all of those times so I got served straight away. Lunch hour and the post-school rush would likely be the times you'd be waiting longer.

    €6.50 is great value for the burrito. The sting is in the price of the drinks.

    Definitely going to pop in there sometime this week so, my expectations have been suitably raised :D and I don't mind about the drinks, don't often get a drink if I'm in a hurry anyway.

    6.50 seems a huge amount of money for something that appears to be akin to a chicken or kebab wrap....which sell for 3-4 Euro.

    Is there more then burrito?....like a plate with chips or salad?....how big are these things, whats on it?

    The kebab shops tend to use halal meat. The spices, salsas, veg and other toppings are different too, as is the wrap itself. There's no harm in a bit of variety, I'm sure you'll agree.

    Where do you buy your kebabs? :confused: Kebabish, the Kashmir House and Turkuaz would all be more expensive than three or four quid!

    The burrito is much more filling then a wrap from a kebab house. You get rice, beans, cheese, salsa and ofcourse the meet and maybe some other bits. The ingrediants are fresher and better aswell (other than the microwave wraps) Also much much much tastier!

    A wrap is usually about 4 euro while a kebab with nann bread would be a few euro more. Havent had a kebab in a few years but usually about 7 euro arent they?

    You must be getting your wraps in Centra or somewhere if you're only paying €3/4

    Give this place a try and you'll taste the difference. You don't get that horrible bloated feeling like you do after a kebab! (Although I do love that sometimes aswell :P )

    I find they're great value for money, and you can get a beer for €3.50 too!

    I see on Facebook that there's some new additions to the menu, so there should be something for everyone.
