Trusted reviews
- Emmanuel Rubin – Figaroscope (2011) “Guacamole : alerte. Burritos (crêpe de maïs roulée avec force crème, sauce salsa, légumes et viandes) : costaud mais plein de fraîcheur.”
- David Lebovitz (2011) “One of the best of the lot, serving fish tacos and burritos. The shared benches and tables fill up quickly, especially during lunch hour.”
- Caroline Mignot (2010) “Les tacos, ils sont 3, j’ai choisi leur garniture, végétarien (légumes rôtis et feta), boeuf et mangue-crevettes. Le tout bien assaisonné, suffisamment pour vous chauffer un peu la gueule, mais pas plus.”
- Meg Zimbeck for BlackBook (2010) “Burritos the size of your forearm share space on the menu with soft tacos (shrimp, beef, or roasted vegetable), guacamole, and cinnamon cheesecake. The already bright space has been refitted with the iconography of Catholic saints and Frida Kahlo.”

I can’t (or can!!!) believe there is a flashy write-up on my favorite mex-spot in the city of lights. After my move back to trendy Copenhagen I miss my biweekly lunches with my brother Ran. I did get the sauce salsa in the VIP extra large version every time. This is the BEST salsa I have ever had, I now will try to create my own Danish version. But surly it will not compare. Hope to see you soon.
Meh. Were there not better options at El Nopal and now Candelaria, too, this place would be great. And Huevos Rancheros sounded (and looked) amazing for brunch… however, letting my sunny side eggs sit for forty minutes while we waited for my friend’s breakfast burrito to sortir de la cuisine made them a little less appetizing by the time I got around to eating them.
Figuring the timing flop might have been a fluke, we tried again at dinnertime. Four taco combo platters came out… and the one lonely burrito eater in our group stared hungrily at the kitchen for twenty minutes while we waited politely, our gigantic masses of black beans cooling and congealing. The food was ok by the time we ate it: flavorful salsa verde on not-too-soggy carnitas, oddly unspicy (even by French standards) chorizo, and a sort of strange and disappointingly bland scallop/guacamole combination. If I go back, it’s for corn tortilla take-away only.
