Amazing authentic South amercian, Carribean and Mexican food. Never before had such authentic food in Mumbai.
Additionally, this place has a good vibe, Good music, and great service!!
It's a lovely cosy place inside with warm staff and good service. Food was excellent. Only the negative part was entrance. Must visit once.
Highly recommended.

Excellent food... superb service .. fantastic ambience.
Located in the hub of Restaurants in Todi Mills, Luca has made its way serving the Mexican Cuisine. The ambience is bright, colourful and cozy which looks even prettier during the day. There’s a bar counter too.
▫️The Beetroot Ceviche
It had thinly sliced fermented beetroot was served with sweet potato mousse and watercress dip garnished with microgreens. ORDER IT!
Rating - 10/10
▫️The Olives Frito
It had deep fried olives stuffed with cheese served with creamy garlic aioli. The aioli was one of the perfect and delicious dips I have had ever!
Rating - 8/10
▫️Cocas Portobello
These are flatbreads served with variety of toppings. I choose the one with mushrooms (Portobello), jalapenos and loads of cheese. It was quite decent in taste. The base was bit burnt which ruined the taste.
Rating - 6/10
▫️Mexican Nachos Avocado and Raw Mango
The nachos are topped with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, jalapenos and melted cheddar cheese along with extra salsa, guacamole and sour cream as dips. I choose the grilled avocados and (raw) mango toppings as extra toppings. It was good in taste. The guacamole and sour cream didn’t seem to be fresh.
Rating - 9/10
▫️Nutella Shake
I sipped on to the Nutella Shake which was chilled, thick and creamy. PS the shake isn’t listed in the menu so do ask the bartender/server for the available options.
Rating - 10/10
▫️The Cheese Enchiladas
▫️ Mexican Lasagna
Both the dishes were ruined with excessive tomato sauce. You can completely avoid them. The mains were the most disappointing part of my meal.
▫️The Jamaican Spiced
Cheesecake was presented beautifully however the cheesecake wasn’t mushy but lumpy. The crust was perfect! The use of Sugar crystals was a bit annoying for me.
Rating - 7/10
▫️Tres Leches
This the finest I have ever had. The cake was spongy and fresh decorated beautifully with delicious whipped cream and compotes. ORDER IT!

Luca, An american restuarant recently popped up in the heart of Lower parel. The venue is beautifully designed to the best possible with gorgeous wall art, colorful & quirky couches, spaced tables, vibrant wall colors, & lots more. The restuarant serves a variety of American food with lots of options on the bar menu as well. We tried the shrimp chupe, mexican lasange, classic tacos, Enchilladas, Burritos, & Lots more. For the desserts we opted for the Taco ice cream & churros-The churros are to die for. A Must Visit✔ : Instagram- @Foodportofficial
I loved the food here it was really yummy and the service was quick too.
First we ordered for the cheddar cipotle polenta these are like corn cakes they were good but not a must try.
Then we ordered for wild mushroom and jalepenos cocas and they were amazing 😍. Very well seasoned.
After that we ordered for a mixed veg burrito,, this is a must try the guacamole with it was nice too😍😘
Next up was curried potato enchiladas and these were really good too.
The mocktails arent much and the passion fruit ice tea abd strawberry ice tea were okay.
I had asked the person serving us that when would the bar start and they said in not more than 15 days 🙂🙂
The food was really good here 🙂

❖ Location- Todi Mills, Lower parel says everything Ifeel I don’t need to say anything more than this.(5/5)
❖ Theme- South American, Mexican and Caribbean food serving restaurant is what they have developed successfully. Theme revolves around these places and it included food, music and little bit of interiors.(4/5)
❖ Ambience- Restaurant is divided in two floors. Lower floor has most of the sitting and upper floor has few tables, can say mainly for small group/kind of private dining. Interiors is little orthodox I feel. Tables and chairs are very different, not the same type which looks nice. Got few artificial trees around. Walls I felt were very plain hope some work is remaining on them. Sitting was comfortable enough. Lighting was very nice too.(3.5/5)
❖ Staff/Service- staff was really welcoming as soon as you enter inside. Had good idea of the menu what they serving and good part was they were suggesting us the dishes from their menu. Beverage service was very slow though; beverages were coming very late on table once it’s been ordered. After half of the dinner, service went on slower speed and no one checking our tables and all staff is standing at bar counter. (3.5/5)
❖ Food and Beverage- I felt this section of them was best and has to be as all restaurants runs on the food what they serve. Here they have tried something really different and an area which has not really touched. Yes Authentic South American, Caribbean and Mexican food is not easily available in Mumbai especially in a casual/brasserie style of restaurant. Somehow I was impressed with the food they served. Menu is divided into a cuisine which was even better so you can choose your options from particular region respectively. Beverages has taken a back sit here I feel. I had two martini’s one was made with vodka, passion fruit and rosemary and other one made with cucumber to give a refreshing feel. Few of the dishes we tried for our dinner are as below.(4/5)
Food-
• Grilled Avocado and Mango Nachos- A huge bowl of nachos made with avocado slices, lots of tomatoes, mango puree, cheese sauce, grated cheese, lettuce and topped with sour cream. Avocado were little sour but can be understood as in India we never get best avocados and especially in rainy days. It had lots of tomatoes, somehow they should reduce it. Otherwise it was excellent and truly value for money. Portionwas huge.(4.5/5)
• Veg Enchiladas- Veg enchiladas served with dollop of sour cream and inside it had rice, beans, 3 mix peppers, cheese and lettuce. Chilli pepper Sauce was homemade and it was really delicious.(4/5)
• Olives Frito- marinated Kalamata olives stuffed with cheese and then crumbed in bread crumbs and fried crispy enough. It was really nice, served with garlic mayo giving the perfect flavour balancing.(4.5/5)
• House special chicken wings- chicken wings marinated in Jamaican jerk spice and then cooked to the perfection.(4/5)
• Jamaican style cheesecake- A Jamaican cheesecake made with banana crumbs on bottom and topped with spicy blueberry compote. A perfect end to a excellent meal.(4.5/5)
❖ My Recommendations-
• Nachos
• Jamaican style cheesecake
• Enchiladas
❖ Why you should visit?
• Location
• Different cuisine
• Authentic food of different cuisine
• Different interiors
❖ To sum up- As soon as I entered inside food caught my attention but unfortunately nothing else. Somehow restaurant was missing those positive vibes which needs to be there. Might be its new that why and hope management will take care of it. I would strongly recommend to the guests who love South American, Caribbean, Mexican food. I am sure soon the restaurant will run smoothly will be talk in town.

Great ambience. Extremely courteous staff. Te owners mingle with the diners to personally ensure their comfort. The food itself is excellent. A good mix of conventional dishes with some exotic ones. Overall, a great experience.

If u wanna eat some really good Mexican food pls go here....the only thing is the place is Not to visible on the main road.
The staff is really nice and we got a personal touch when we were there.....it tends to get crowded in the Afternoon...trying the suggestions of the stewards is a good idea.
The chef met us....he is a very warm and friendly person....
Pretty great drinks.. just tell the bartender to make according to them. Just tell them your taste pallets.. food was good too! Esp the lobster thermidor
Had veg food, quinoa salad, avocados cooked with boiled potatoes, burrito and enchiladas. Nice food. Easy on the tummy too.
