SETTING Look out for the green watermelon Tex Mex sign amidst the designer fashion boutiques along this quaint cobbled street. Inside, the L shaped space is neatly designed with intimate booths and banquette seating. Around the shocking pink and lime green walls, murals and paintings of chillies and pineapples capture the Mexican heat of spice and sunshine.

FOOD The extensive, enticing menu needs time and thought so order a glass or pitcher of ice cold Margarita (60-year-old recipe of limejuice, tequila and triple sec) and nibble the complimentary popcorn. To start, my partner and I share two appetisers, ceviche pacifico, a tasty, tantalising seafood salad of scallops, shrimps and sweet juicy mango marinated in lime and garlic, and a bowl of creamy guacamole served with a mountain of tortilla chips. Some dishes stray away from the usual suspects and into Chef Fat Donny's favourite Mexican cuisine: his speciality grilled tuna combo combines two crispy taco flautas filled with a ton of soft crabmeat, and a tender tuna steak.

The focus throughout the meal is on fresh seasonal ingredients. My chunky burrito is stuffed with butternut squash, tomatoes, red, green, yellow peppers, served with rice and salad – a healthy veggie feast. Food is mildly spiced but there‘s choice of hot chilli sauces racking up the intensity towards the, rather scary, ‘Ring of Fire’ (buy a jar to take home).

Dessert? - classic Key lime or pecan pie. With a regular floorshow by the waiters as sizzling fajita platters are waved flaming around the restaurant, this is a fun and lively wee place for couples or party groups. Be warned, portion sizes are generously huge and beside us, two Americans admitted they were stuffed!
