Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

My partner and I eat mexican food quite often and this is by some distance the best Mexican meal i've had in a very long time. Fresh food and friendly service.

Many restaurants are closed on Monday, so we gave this place a try. The chips were excellent, and the burrito was good as well. The restaurant itself is pretty small, so I imagine it can get crowded at times. While certainly not authentic Mexican food,...by a long shot, it was still good.More

Lovely presentation and flavours. We were lucky to get a table because it is a small space. Website opening times were not up to date.

Fabulous but very small. Fish tacos are sublime. Bottled beer is also very reasonable. Cheapest we found in Rovaniemi at €6 for a corona. A must when in Rovaniemi

Absolutely delicious mexican food (NOT texmex). Very friendly service. Only downside is that the place is pretty small and popular so you should reserve a table if you wish to eat here in the popular days/hours.

Came here recently for lunch with friends. We were seated quickly, and the staff are really friendly! The menu has lots of options, with tasty and filling dishes. The portion sizes are decent and the prices are moderate. One thing to watch out for is...asking for extras, as they charge a surprisingly high amount for these (6 Euros for additional mushrooms!) which we only learned about when we got the bill. But overall, a great experience and really recommend visiting!More

We also ate at Bar & Cafe21 and Gustav during our trip to Rovaniemi. All 3 places by these owners were very different but Al quite good. Enjoyed some tacos on taco Tuesday which are 3.50 each instead of 2 for 9.50 so def a...better deal. We found 3 tacos was the perfect amount. I had fish, pork and mushrooms as my three. All were good but I think fish (and especially sauce on it) was the best. We also got chips and pico and guac before our meal. Pico and guac were good. Chips were only let down of the meal. A bit greasy and needed salt. However overall comparable to any good Mexican restaurant in the US and was looking for a cuisine change so appreciated something different.More

Very small place, only a few tables in the main restaurant but I think you can also sit next door as the two places are joined. Yummy food, good gluten free and vegetarian options! I had the burrito bowl which was delicious. No gluten free...wraps though so unfortunately couldn't have a proper burrito, but happy with what I did get. No labels on the sauces, but I had the chilli sauce with no ill effects, so that was definitely gluten free!More

What a lovely small run restaurant. The food was delicious and just the right amount/portion size. We started with tortilla chips with guacamole and salsa as well as mushroom quesadillas followed by a burrito and mushroom tacos. Everything tasted amazing and fresh. The margaritas were...also spot on! Delicious food and friendly service!More

We had a great meal at Yuca. Place is small but buzzy. Waiter was super friendly and positive. Food was very good and a nice small menu. You can even pop next door for dessert if you don’t fancy the churros on the menu…. However,...they were very good. Also quite good value for money.More

We absolutely love this place, as locals in rovaniemi. It's our first choice on where to eat. The tacos are excellent, with a great variety of things to add there, though it will get messy (as tacos should). My partner can not handle any amount...of spice, where as I can get enough of it, and we both love this place! Their additional self made hot sauces will burn you twice, if you know what I mean! If you are a spice lover (or not) and are tired of all the greasy tex-mex stuff, this is a place for you. PS: the best and maybe only mezcal in town. Proper Mexican stuff.More
