Fajitas flambéed at the table and the mixed rib platter with beef, pork and lamb

Why it’s worth visiting

Worth it for Mexican cooking done with care, rare in Chișinău. Say how spicy you want it from the start, the menu has heat levels.

The story

Mexican restaurant on Armenească street, open daily from 12:00 to 23:00, with a terrace. The reviews are unusually consistent and enthusiastic. The decor is the first thing mentioned: one guest says the place looks as though it were in Texas, another that you can tell someone worked hard on it. The food is described as fresh, tasty and generously portioned, with spice levels to choose from. The complimentary nachos with salsa, the bean and turkey soup, the grilled chicken, the steaks and the mixed rib platter with beef, pork and lamb are named explicitly. The fajitas are flambéed at the table, which one guest describes as a memorable experience. The lemonade is praised separately. The service is fast, and a family who came almost daily for a week says the waiters were attentive every time.
