The Restaurant had nothing mexican about it !!!!! I mean seriously Sheesha in Latin america ......think about it. The service was bad as we had to wait 10 to 15 minutes before anyone could attend us. When we complained about it, the waitress told us that we should have clicked the service buzzer (A small remote device which has to... More

I went here today for lunch, It is in convenient location at the Pavilion shopping center but that's the only positive thing. It was not busy and I got a table no problem, the waitress told me there were lunch specials and as I was on a time limit I ordered one which included a soft drink - 15 Ringitt... More

This has to be the worst Mexican food I've ever had. The chicken fajitas looks like it's swimming in a curry-like sauce and taste nothing like Mexican food. As for the chips & salsa, the chips were a bit stale and the salsa was flat! Very expensive and certainly not value for money. The happy hour is a joke, only... More

What a value for money luch. My daughter had a delightful freshly prepared burget which ate with gusto. I thouroughly enjoed the Mexica Canteena vegetable soup which was very gastronomically tasty. A place I would recommend and I am considered a gourmet cook.

One of the worst value for money restaurants I have ever been to. The food was basic at best and very expensive for what you receive. The seating is torn and the menus are in tatters. I guess that sums up the whole experience . . . . .

After our previous good experience in February this year at Carlos, we decided to go and dine here again. Some things change quickly: the menu's were torn, the choice of beer was only Carlsberg although the menu showed some other options (some sailors drank all other beer that afternoon according to the waiter). The food: the February-tortilla was good and... More

We went to this restaurant a couple of years ago, and thought it was ok. However it appears as though it's gone downhill since then. To start, the menus are all shabby and torn, usually I wouldn't care about this but it's a sign of the overall effort they're making. They list a large selection of drinks, but when we... More

Situated at a mall, the restaurant offers a cozy ambience and has most of the signature Mexican dishes. It also functions as a shisha bar. Prices are moderate. Good place for a meal after shopping or catching a movie at the mall.

Nice place set outside the Pavillion Mall next to a large group of other restaurants and bars. Good setting, lively atmosphere, safe to be in, and you have a large choice of places to go and eat or drink in. The food was good, portions were appropriate, prices moderate. Though they had only one beer choice, and a glass was... More
