    Blackened wonton fish tacos are on the menu here, suggesting that not everything is strictly Mexican. However, whatever fusion there is is carried out with panache and you won’t leave hungry for want of some decent chow. What you may need, though, is larger portions, some of which are on the skimpy size. You won’t find just the Mexican cuisine fused with hints of Asia. You’ll also get dishes from ... read more >

Traditional fare is available too, often creatively brought up to date. The restaurant is well lit thanks to the windows that stretch the length of the dining room. In the evening, it has a slightly less European feel, but the mansion house setting retai ... read more >

    The selection of tequilas isn’t what’s of primary importance in a Mexican restaurant, but the range offered here is still impressive, with fifty kinds of the spirit available on the drinks list, as well as exotic concoctions such as passion fruit margarita. The range of Mexican food extends to tacos, burritos, nachos and quesadillas. Fillings and other assorted dishes may feature beef, fish and po ... read more >
