This was a fun place in a great location right next to the Opera House and the Park Hyatt. They have outdoor seating on the upper level. My family and I went and we tried many different foods. We started with quesadillas and chips. It wasn't what I was accustomed too, but it was pretty good. They were stingy on the amount of chips. The steak fajita was served and looked more like a quesadilla, but it was tasty. The steak burrito was good and a nice sized portion. I was surprised that they offered American IPA beer from New England which was very good. Unfortunately, I didn't try the margarita's. I know it was sacrilegious not to order one. It was overall a good restaurant.

Well I happen to show up on Tuesday and yes it is taco Tuesday for 30,000 a taco I might as well try all of them. The vegetarian. If you want an honest review you eat all the tacos. HeHe. So I’m from Los Angeles California trust me I have the best tacos in the world yes I’m close to Mexico. Well if you come on a Tuesday it is well worth every penny. This is a 4 star experience six days a week for taco Tuesday it turns into a five-star experience the tacos are good not great but definitely worth a visit. They do give you plenty of meat inside your taco even on taco Tuesday. . They have a decent selection of craft beer good air-conditioning rooftop view it’s a very nice place.

We vistid during the covid period. Not sure what affect that had on everyone and everthing. Our waitress Chi was so nice and helpful. Food was okay. Served in a timely fasion and piping hot. Prices
And portions were fine. I was shocked to read a review that said the chef was from Mexico. To be sure there are many variationsof Mexican food in Mexico. But never have I seen mozarla cheese used in all the years I lived there. But all-in-all they make a good effort at doung the best they can. If you want a true Mexican oreven TexMex experience it misses the mark by a wide margin. If you want a divertion from pho the it will
Do.

We decided to try some Mexican food and overall it was nice. The steak quesadilla was delicious and would highly recommend. My wife got a couple of tacos and to be honest the filling could have been a lot more but they tasted fine. We got the lime cinnamon and pineapple drinks which were very good.

This is not the cheapest mexican you'll find in HCMC, but hey it's pretty affordable (very), and of very very good standard.
The whole experience was lovely. From an efficient welcome to a great atmosphere, comfortable tables and spacing, through two courses of fantastic food (the sangria is pretty good too, just a little sweeter than it needs to be perhaps), we both had a lovely evening there. Great background music, but in the background, great service, and well, just everything we hoped for in an evening meal together!

You like Mexican YOU MUST come here! Wish I took photos. Full of flavour and would say is up there in the top Mexican I have had. Order the build your own taco platter, also had the guac and chips, and enchilada. Caters for all. And going back when we get to Ho Chi Minh to get the same…that good. Very reasonably priced, great service. Hidden gem

We came for lunch and had a delicious array of vegetarian dishes. Cozy atmosphere tucked away from busy streets, set in a gorgeous courtyard of restaurants. The food was delicious, fresh and healthy and the staff were lovely and helpful. We will definitely return!

Food is so so. Waiters’ attitude is beyond terrible. Especially the boy with short hair. On top of all that, I asked 2 of the waiters to turn off the fan twice. But they ignored my request. This restaurant should not exist in Saigon which is known for our hospitality.

Excellent lunch. I wanted quick and delicious. There are many choices here in Saigon, and this just grabbed my attention. I’m glad it did.
The service was excellent and so was the food.
The prices were reasonable for an upscale restaurant.

Good hearty and flavourful food with great service. We arrived during a downpour and we’re relieved to get inside and have something to eat.
Friendly and efficient service, food arrived in good time.
