Starters: Very small portions for quite a high price. Main Dishes: Tried the pastor and Angus beef — both were dry and lacked juiciness. Guacamole: Tasted industrial, not fresh. Horchata & Totopos: Both were excellent — definitely the highlights of the meal. Dessert: Didn’t try it, but saw it on a neighboring table. Looked similar to the starters: tiny portions, steep price. Venue: Nicely decorated and pleasant atmosphere. Beans with feta: Odd choice. Why not go with traditional frijoles refritos? I don’t recall ever being served plain beans like that in Mexico. I came in hopeful, especially after reading the reviews, but in the end, it felt like just another Tex-Mex spot with a touch of international fusion. Maybe that was the concept all along — and it’s on me for expecting something closer to authentic Mexican food like you can easily find in Spain, Berlin, and a few other places across Europe… just not in Belgium, it seems.
