[[itsbruce]] has been visiting this restaurant since 2008 and rates it highly. Service has always been swift and friendly. The cooking is not as adventurous as that in [[Santo, W10 5TD| Santo]] but noticeably better than [[El Camion Mexicano, W10 5TY| El Camion Mexicano]], with much faster service than the former and priced somewhere in between. |
