Aztecas Mexican restaurant Nicosia

Aztecas is a new Mexican restaurant located at the end of Ledras in Nicosia:



Quality of food: I had the Beef fajitas which I found to be excellent. The quantity was enough (even for me) and the beef was very tasty. Accompanied with pico de gallo, cheese, quacamole and hot sauce.

My partner had a beef buritto which I tried but did not like at all. I was actually disappointed because I was thinking of ordering that. Glad I went with the fajitas.

We also had the Queso cheese for starter. Having been in authentic Mexican restaurants before, I have to say that this is nothing close to Queso cheese.



Service: The service was really good. The waiters/ waitresses were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, since they were not many customers at the restaurant at the time, I felt that they were watching and talking about us all the time. Left me with a bad impression.



Value for money: Like any other Mexican restaurant in Cyprus, this one is expensive too. 37 Euros for the Queso cheese, 2 meals and one bottle of water is too much! Also, in a lot of Mexican restaurants you get complimentary tortilla chips at the beginning. Not here...
We did however get a complimentary strawberry margharita which was really good.

Atmosphere: Nice decoration and atmosphere in the restaurant

Brewery Nicosia

I have been there quite a few times for both drinks and food.



Quality of food: The food is good but not excellent. I have had the Brewery Platter (sausages, kebabs etc), the pork chop and the western burger. They were tasty but not something that you cannot find anywhere else.



Service: Brewery has excellent service. The waiters/ waitresses are usually smiley and ready to help. Never had any problem whenever I went there.



Atmosphere: I like the atmosphere and the decor in the pub.



Value for money: The prices are a little bit more expensive than normal. For example Petritis wine is sold for 22 Euro where everywhere else it is about 15-17 Euro. Prices for some meals are expensive and for some others cheaper. In general though, I would say it is an expensive pub.

Tip: Try the wheat beer of Brewery

In general, I would recommend this place for a relaxing drinking night

Casa Vieja

Service: Pretty good service. The waiters/ waitresses were polite and were smiling. There were only a few tables so I am not sure if this changes when the restaurant is full.

Quality of food: We ordered tapas which were pretty good. Since I have never been in Spain, I unfortunately cannot compare it to the real thing. One of the tapas that impressed me were the chorizos in the white wine. The meat and fish paella were also excellent.,

Value for money: It was about 25 Euros per person with enough sangria to drink. This price is expected in such restaurants in Nicosia.

Atmosphere: Pretty nice atmosphere with the restaurant broken up in small rooms..

Speed of service: Good speed of service.

Casa Vieja is located in the heart of old Nicosia.
