I constantly travel for work and live in hotels, so I'd like to think I have a very broad understanding of takeaways - and this is without doubt, up there with the best I've ever had in my life. Incredible, restaurant quality food, at a reasonable price. I had tempura tapas, and it was absolutely delicious. I can't wait to go back and try more things from the menu. You can tell the owner is a very skilled chef, with Latin influences. 10/10

Had lovely food from here last night! Very tasty and we'll sized portions. We had burritos and burgers. My kids were very happy afterwards. Well worth trying something a little different. Staff very pleasant.

TLDR: Amazing Latin American food, first class service, massive portions at affordable prices! I cannot recommend this place enough!

Day 1: I was so glad my online search for highly rated food brought me here! I messaged the owners on Facebook to check that they were open when I planned to come (on a bank holiday weekend) and had the seabass I so greatly desired. They answered very promptly and were very accommodating! 5 star customer service! Husband had a very LARGE and filling carnitas burrito which he has dubbed the best that he's had. We shared lamb Empanadas which were GORGEOUS and the creme de la creme for me was the fried seabass with plantains on a bed of coconut rice and some guac. The seabass was FRESH and fried to PERFECTION! It was also truly MASSIVE, my picture does not do it justice I'm afraid. It was so massive they couldn't close the box! I kept sighing with happiness with each bite! I'm a true fish lover and I love this to bits! The fried plantain (Tostones) was also the best I've had and the guac was soooo fresh! I honestly don't usually fancy guac but I ate all of this up. ❤️ To those reading, if you want the seabass it might be worth checking with them in advance on Facebook messenger if they have it so they can prepare it for you in advance.

Update: I just realised they made a new menu and the seabass was from an old menu! They were so accommodating and made it for me anyway 😭 that's really touching ♥️

Day 2: The food was so good we decided to go back the next day! This time it was quieter so we were able to eat at the small dining section (counter with high stools). Hubbie and I both had the Pork Milanesa and OMG was it DELICIOUS and MASSIVE! The guac and salsa was so fresh and delicious! Ate every last bit of it! Also really loved the chips! You can tell its fresh and not made from frozen. To be honest the meal was so big I had about half of it and brought the other half home and had two very filling meals!

I would definitely come back when I'm next back in North Wales. Thank you so much Diego and wife for your first class service and food!

To the people of Pwllhelli: Please know how blessed you are and I'm very jealous of you to be able to visit this fine establishment at your leisure! Husband and I agreed that if we lived in Pwllhelli we would eat here every week and gain a significant amount of weight 🤭

Huge portions at a good price.

Very tasty food, I’ve been twice now, and both times were delicious. I had a pulled pork burrito the first time, which was the largest I had ever had!

The second time I had Pork Milanesa, which was equally as good.

Fully recommended to anyone passing by!

Amazing place like proper authentic home cooking. Ordered Burritos with Chile con carne and with BBQ pork (Carnitas), both so very tasty. Also tried the Patatas Bravas and was heavenly. Ham croquettes were best I've had.

Lovely husband and wife who greeted us. I can't say I've seen anything like this before, wish I could live close by and order more often.

This place blew us away we stopped by on our way home from our trip in the Llyn peninsula. Everyone in the shop was extremely friendly and explained everything to us. The ropa vieja with patacones was just fantastic, the fish tacos and choripan were again some of the tastiest Latin food we've had in the UK. The guacamole also was spot on. The star of the show was the home made Pico de gallo which was one of the greatest I've ever tasted.
Don't miss out on this little place. All food cooked fresh for you with proper authentic flavours.
Worth going out of your way to try.

We were drawn to this place by the number of positive reviews and because it looks so clean and tidy. We've just had the chicken paella and I have to say that it was the most authentic (non-seafood, but it does have prawns in it) paella that I've had in ages, complete with the lovely crispy bit from the bottom - perfect! They do the seafood version too. I ordered in advance and arrived a couple of minutes early and saw it being dished out of an individual paella pan into the takeaway cartons - so no mass production in advance followed by a quick blast in the microwave: this is the real thing prepared to order. The portions are very generous too. The menu is quite extensive so the dilemma now is what to have next time...
