Really, really good food. Cocktails were excellent and interesting, and the service was spot on. The soft shell taco with pulled beef was unreal! Really good vegan options too. Only thing I'd not order again was the guac -6 for a few nachos and guac when you can get more chips or another taco for less!

Amazing food and drink! Staff are lovely too. Old faithful we always come back to time and again. Margs are a must try!

really good food, relatively small portions, but that means you can try lots of different things; the cocktails were also really really nice and staff was so friendly. the place itself has nice low lighting, the space is quite dark, so it immerses you more into the experience

Some of the best tacos I've had in the UK. Particularly recommended the Korean pork tacos, the aubergine tacos, and the crispy squid tacos. Margueritas also great. Nice atmosphere. Come here.

First time visiting here and certainly won't be the last. Lovely Mexican tacos and equal split of meat/fish to vegan ratio. I'm pescatarian so ordered a couple of fish and couple of vegan tacos. We shared loaded Crayfish fries which were lovely. Margarita cocktails went down a treat before the theatre and staff were lovely. Definitely recommend.

Staff were friendly and welcoming, they walked me through the menu. There is a good selection of soft shell tacos on the menu all with a fusion style twist. I ordered a Baja Cod taco which was really tasty but the stand out was the Vietnamese Beef. The meat was tender and well seasoned and every ingredient played a part in bringing together a well rounded dish that I'm still thinking about 2 weeks later. If I lived closer this would be a frequent visit

Third time visiting yesterday, basically tried the full menu by this point. Can't recommend this place enough. Food, drinks, service and atmosphere have been faultless every time. Impressive 3:2 meat:vegan taco ratio, without skimping on vegan options for sides and extras. In my experience, it's rare that a restaurant that has so many meat options that they execute vegan dishes to an equally high standard (my partner is vegan). The tacos themselves are well and truly the main event with each encompassing bold flavours, with every element balanced - no flavour or component being lost in the mix. The menu is definitely Mexican fusion, with alot of Asian inspiration, but we're here for it. We're always impressed, and will continue visiting from Durham when we can - it's worth the journey!

First time we have visited Mexico 70 and it certainly won't be the last! We have been desperate to find somewhere local that does great Mexican street food and this has not disappointed. From the second we walked in the door, we were given such a warm welcome and provided with recommendations of food/drinks we may like to try. The staff were fabulous and the food was stunning. Everything tasted so fresh looking vibrant and inviting. Just perfect! The recommendations were spot on and we can't wait to return. Thanks to everyone for such a great visit. :)
