This cafe is a simple operation aimed primarily at a lunchtime crowd and those looking for quick, tasty food, rather than the full sit-down restaurant experience. There is seating inside, both stools along the window and close-set tables around the back seating around 20 diners, as well as a single larger booth seating 5-6 people. |

At the counter, the menu splits into four basic options: burritos (£5), tacos (£4 for two, or £5.50 for three), salad (£5) and soup (£2.50). The first two options have choices of filling (steak, chicken, pork or vegetables), and there are additional fillings (rice, black beans, guacamole, et al.), most of which are included in the price. Finally, there are three sauces with differing levels of hotness (the medium-strength was hardly overwhelming, but the hot has more of a kick to it). |

Drinks and extras (such as nacho chips) are also available, though they give you a handful of these if you're eating in. They have a short cocktail list, including the ubiquitous margarita and variations, for around £6.50 each. |
The food is prepared by an assembly-line, like at Subway, with different people handling different parts of the process, and it all moves along very quickly. The end result is a fine burrito in a slightly doughy tortilla, with plenty of filling, which goes down easily. |

Certainly not the best Mexican place in the capital, but hardly the worst either. |
