This place is always packed and usually has a line out the door! That shows how good the food is. It serves up authentic Mexican food and at a reasonable price for being so far from the Americas. I go for the €1 tacos and €2.50 quesadillas but I stay for the Mexican beer. Its a little place, wedged in a quiet corner incredibly close to Gran Via and Sol.
