Crab Tostadas ($18/ 2pcs):
On two crispy corn tortillas, the fresh blue swimmer crab, jalapeรฑo, cilantro and mayo combo really turned up the heat. The staff did warn us about the mint and lime mayo being spicy, so indeed it was. Love the plump chunks of crab, which tasted fresh and sweet; I think the flavourful yet refreshingly bright minty sauce helped counter any possible unpleasant briny flavour.

Beef Quesadillas ($19)
Yummy but strangely resembles a well-seasoned murtabak?! The spiced, flavourful pulled beef brisket was super tender and very complementary to the melted mixed cheese, chipotle, savoury salsa ranchero, and pickled onion filling. The flour tortillas were crisp and nicely toasted, too.

Baja Fish Tacos ($12/ pcs):
On a soft gluten-free corn tortilla, the crispy fried barramundi came with slaw and chili mango salsa. We opted for the sauce to be on the side as the staff explained that it would be quite spicy, which it was. The tangy, tantalising sauce was best added bit by bit for me. Love the flaky, fresh, succulent fish and the thin, crunchy, golden-brown batter but $12 for one was an ouch.

Very generous portions here! Had a lamb ($12) and chorizo & beef brisket ($10) taco. Unexpectedly hefty in terms of the meat portions so two was enough to fill me up where Iโ€™d typically need three smallish tacos to do the trick.

Preferred lamb more, it was seasoned well, though my only gripe itโ€™s the whole 1/5 tomato inside it. Iโ€™d have preferred if it was diced as it made the eating experience a bit tricky. Otherwise thought it was reasonably priced for the amount of meat given!

Outrageously priced for this tiny thing. You can neither see nor really taste the prawn. Waste of money

Big portion, huge piece of pork belly but unfortunately overall it's below average. Pork belly wasn't tender, wasn't crispy, the chicharrons were super stale

This was good. The corn was grilled till very soft and sweet, then covered in a simple but effective mix of chili powder and super savoury cojita cheese.

If you're here, get this

I think they did a decent job alr, but it's like bamboo shoots but with more bite, less tender, and more woody. Not the best thing to eat, I think in general artichokes aren't very nice

This was pretty good, it's juicy enough and there's a nice bit of heat from the chorizo.

So apparently churros origin is debated to be either from Spain, Portugal or even China. No biggie so long this Mexican restaurant serves fresh crunchy churros! 4 sticks for ~S$14

Chicken was nicely charred and tasty but omg the guacamole here really sucks. Damn bland and this one tasted like it was spoilt...
