    We visited last night and were really impressed by the authentic Tex-Mex flavors. The short menu focuses on quality ingredients, and the food was delicious—especially the Longhorn brisket tacos. However, despite it being a Tuesday night in February, the restaurant was making the classic mistake of cutting costs on staff, which really impacted the experience. The small team was completely overwhelmed, trying to handle table service, drinks, cash transactions, and delivery orders all at once. The guy in the kitchen was working flat out, and I’d be amazed if he can keep that pace up. Unfortunately, this meant our food sat waiting before being served, arriving at the table lukewarm. Pricing was a bit off balance—three saucer-sized tacos felt expensive, but the patatas bravas were excellent value. The homemade salsa was great, but they need to serve more chips with it, and some were sadly soft. Overall, the food was good enough to make us consider giving it another go, but unless they sort out the staffing, they risk losing customers. A real shame, because there’s so much potential here!

    One of the tastiest meals I’ve had in a long time. Food is incredible!! First time visiting and everything we had was amazing! It is a bit echoey in the back area but all of the food dock restaurants are the same at the back. I only mention it as I have a problem with my hearing.

    Service was slow, not enough staff, food was sub par. Wouldn’t have minded so much but 4 of us had our mains served and then we had to wait a further 15min for everyone else’s. Drinks orders were forgotten, we had the fizz and cracker menu, ‘glass of fiz’ on arrival didn’t come until halfway through the meal. Not a great experience unfortunately.

    The food is freshly prepared, authentic Mexican food. The small plates allow you to sample more of what's on offer. Perfect! This really is a gem amongst the food spots at Gloucester Food Dock. There's an interesting selection of expertly crafted cocktails. The service is equally good. Bravo!
