Truly delicious food, fast and friendly service, great portions and amazing cocktails, all at such a reasonable price. Have recommended to all of my friends and family. I could happily eat here every week! (Not forgetting, Covid friendly.) Will definitely be ordering their takeaway service during lockdown! Its just a shame their margaritas can't be delivered!!

Wow! We weren’t expecting great things. A lot of restaurants are just going through the motions at the moment but this was a very pleasing experience. Lovely friendly service, they managed the COVID regulations without overwhelming the experience. Friendly, attentive and charming. The food was freshly made and beautifully flavoured. A nice change from the usual tex/mex pre made rubbish that a lot of chains try to get away with. I had an amazing spiced mushroom starter, my family sampled nachos, spicy prawns and meatballs. All lovely. Then there were fajitas, enchiladas and tacos. Delightful. We were too full for dessert and as this was lunch decided we had eaten our fill. Would definitely come back after this next Lockdown experience. I do hope this doesn’t have a detrimental effect on such a lovely place. Best of luck to them. Xxxx

The food was outstanding with excellent atmosphere couldn’t fault the restaurant one bit. The nachos to start were incredible and the chocolate orange cake for dessert was to die for

I booked Pieno Lleno as a surprise for my daughters 40th. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. They followed the COVID regulations without making us feel uncomfortable. The food was delicious, I had a chicken chimichanga, as did some others in our group. My daughter had paella and we were all very pleased with our choices. Brilliant evening, we will definitely be back!

A great meal! Friendly staff, good selection of dishes and excellent food. Parking was a bit tricky, and caused us to arrive late.
