Hi, This is the owner of the restaurand and I just want to comment on the review; Firstly, you talk about portion sizes & also mention that you ordered totopos for 'starter' and 1 portion of tacos for main. The restaurant is Mexican small plates & tapas style, which is stated on the menu, we reccomend 2/3 dishes per person plus snacks, again, stated on the menu. Our totopos are served cold, always have been, always are by similar style restaurants, the entire dish is £3.50 with salsas, using freshly made corn tortillas, so I am unsure as to what you were expecting. There is no miso in the cauliflower itself, there is cumin, the miso is in the crema, as stated on the menu. Our tacos are reasonable priced for the cost of ingredients and the cost of maintaining the restaurant, in line if not cheaper than most similar competitors (see menu prices at Pina, Madre & other similar restaurants). I am unsure how we are expected to deseed the padron peppers? They are served with a salsa macha which is a guajillo OIL based salsa with peanuts. We do not claim to be a vegan restaurant, we do not advertise as having a vegan menu. We get a lot of vegetarian and vegan customers and generally receive positive reviews. We are a small restaurant with a small team and a small kitchen, we offer a predominantely gluten free menu, however, due to the size of the place, we cannot cater extensively to every dietary requirement, we offer vegan options, plenty, in my opinion. The menu was available to see before booking, so to leave a negative review based on this is unfair, as it is never a claim that we made. Again, with the drinks, you suggest that we are not using Pisco, which we are, our Pisco sour is not smoky in any way, I have tried ours and many others. The sonrisa is a cacao/orange/mezcal based cocktail, it is served short, fairly boozy and sweet, if it is not to your liking, fair enough, others really enjoy it, but to say it tastes 'weird' just lacks awareness that not everything is to your taste, but is to others. I agree it is a shame to leave a review like this, especially since most of it is based purely on a lack of awareness towards our menu concept (small plates, as stated on the menu), your opinion and some assumption that we should have a menu that caters to everyone, which is simply not possible.
