Brilliant food, brilliant service. An absolute shame Cardiff loses another independent in these guys at the end of November
This place has always been on my wishlist of places to eat in Cardiff and it did not disappoint! We went on the day of the Stereophonics, so it was a little busy but all the staff were friendly and very on the ball. The food was great, drinks were good, tried the lagerita and it was tasty and refreshing especially since the day was so warm. Would definitely recommend if you are in the mood for chilled drinks and food with friends.
I’ve walked past this colourful exterior many times and finally gave it a try. The nachos were generous and I particularly loved the fresh guacamole! The tacos are quite messy so have a few napkins ready. Friendly service
First time here and super impressed. Tacos, cocktails, service, and atmosphere all top notch. We were greeted warmly and served fast, food and drinks turned up quick too. Extremely delicious tacos, best in Cardiff I'd say. Tasty bold cocktails too. And of course really friendly service. Can't wait to come back on next visit to Cardiff ❤️
The atmosphere of this restaurant is honestly fantastic. One of the best Playlists I've heard in ages and the ambience is really built with all the decorations. The service was also really good and the tables were nice and clean. However, one of my criteria is always portion and price. For £9 the Tacos you get are disappointing. The meat tasted unseasoned and somewhat tasted of literally nothing. The nachos however are really good. If you're considering going get the Nachos and just add some meat. Not horrible but not great either.

Vibrant Cardiff bar serving bold tacos, refreshing cocktails, and unforgettable vibes.
