My go-to menu item is the carne asada tacos. On Tuesdays, there’s a deal of six tacos for GHC100. The tacos are absolutely delicious; the steak is very flavorful, topped with onions, tomatoes, and cilantro, and it comes in three different sauces spicy, mild, and a sweet-sour cream-style sauce. The menu has an impressive variety of Mexican dishes from quesadillas to nachos and even desserts like churros.

The pricing is a bit on the higher end but very reasonable considering the portion size and the quality of the food. For great deals, Taco Tuesday is the best day to visit. They also have really good drinks that are a whopping GHC60. What a deal!
