Frommer's Review

This is the least expensive and most popular of the limited number of Mexican restaurants in Helsinki. We'll be frank: The food served here is not the equal of any decent Mexican place in the American Southwest, but it comes as a welcome respite when you've had too many herring balls in cream sauce. The decor evokes the colors of the Mexican desert, accented with shades of green, yellow, and blue, and there's lots of exposed wood and a bar with comfortable sofas, which is worth visiting for a margarita even if you don't plan to have dinner afterward. Menu choices include seven kinds of fajitas, enchiladas, stuffed chiles, and a barbecue platter that everyone seems to like. The place was founded by an entrepreneurial Finn after visiting New Mexico and Arizona, so it has a distinctive American touch.

Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
