I didn't quite know what to expect but the promise of the best fish tacos outside of Mexico was enough to get me there. The online reservation system was a nice added touch and extremely convenient.

The food, well, it was in my humble opinion rather spectacular. The pork belly starter made me chew slower and slower as I didn't want it to end. Innocent (apparently only 99% of the time according to him) was a wonderful server and wisely steered me towards the half portion of the fish tacos. Given I wanted to give the french fries with truffle parmesan (my whole mouth just filled with saliva again) a good go, I was grateful I listened to him. The portions are generous and the fish tacos delivered on the promise of best tasting outside of Mexico. The truffle fries were a delicious accompaniment but sadly I had to abandon them eventually because the dessert menu looked equally tempting. Innocent recommended the malva pudding and it also didn't disappoint. Delicious apricot salted caramel ice cream and buchu custard took a standard dessert favourite and made it incredibly memorable.

Only criticism was the ambience, just found the music a bit too loud and overbearing, especially when you want to rave about the food to your dinner companion. But I left the restaurant extremely full and incredibly happy and satisfied. And I cannot wait to go back. They are open for lunch, right? :)
