They recently had a promotion where any customer that joined their wechat group and posted a link in their newsfeed got 80RMB off. As a result, I ended up going there three times in fairly quick succession.

I like the restaurant itself, it has a nice 'light and airy' feel to the place even though I never made it onto the rooftop. The serving staff are attentive and friendly whenever I've been there.

I really like the burritos there. A friend thought they were a bit expensive but I think they are pretty good value as you get two pretty huge wraps, a small side salad with chips and salsa on the side. If you're with someone else and ordering some stuff to share it's too much. The last time we went we split the burrito. The nachos with various toppings on are also great. I like that they put the nachos flat on the plate so all of them get covered in something. You could say you get less nachos but ... who buys a plate of nachos to eat the plain soggy nachos at the bottom??

I wasn't a massive fan of the tacos though. I've never really enjoyed the corn tortillas so that might be it.

As for drinks, you can get slowboat beer on draft and they have one or two mexican bottled beers. The soft drinks aren't so good though. I ordered an iced lemon tea and it just tasted like a watery lipton - no lemon or real tea flavor. Someone ordered this special drink with mint and lime that was recommended. It was okay but not worth 35rmb.

Anyway, if you're heading down Wudaoying and don't want to eat at Stuff'd for the nth time it's worth stopping by this place.

I might add my experience of Mexican food prior to coming to Beijing was those Old El Paso spice mixes you get.
