    One of the must visit place for Mexican food and great songs to dance the night away Bali. It has awesome colourful interior and cool, relax and cozy vibe. Itt's great to have brunch / lunch / afternoon tea here if you like quiet. Come here at night if you like loud music, big crowd and enjoy dancing all night long.

    Do I even need to say anything about this place? 💝🔥 Tacos & drinks are great, music is greater & vibes are greatesttt! Owwww the music literally takes you back to the year 2000 & then drops you at the present year💣 The interior, lighting, decor, staff etc etc everything is on-point. Just a small minus point would be for the service time bcz couple of times they forgot our order but that's totally acceptable with such a massive crowd + we were still having fun..so💁‍♀️ Overall experience was great, would definitely come back! (heard the place is great for lunch/brunch.. indeed quiet & opp to the night vibes, so that's gonna be next😋) Note: Every night is fun, but if possible opt for a Friday night. Reservation helps you to cut down the waiting time & try to get the high-chair seating area that's right next to the dance floor, so it's easier to move around unless you need a proper dine out & corner of your own.

    This place was SO good!!! My husband and I went on a Sunday afternoon for drinks. We got frozen margaritas and live music! They had a mariachi band coming around to tables taking requests. We made 2 song requests they played for us. It was awesome. Really really enjoyed this place!!

    We enjoyed our dinner at Mexicola so much last time we were here, so we had to come again. We should have just stayed with the good memories. The atmosphere is still good with an eclectic mix of music. However the food has gone downhill sadly and it’s not what it was. I think we’ll give it a miss next time!

    What a space! The food was good but the interior was better. I absolutely loved the fit out, it’s a giant venue and every square inch of it is vibrant and fun. The staff are super friendly and as is the case everywhere in Bali the service is extremely efficient. Thoroughly recommend for the amazing ambiance

    The atmosphere here is one of the best on Bali. The place was rocking when I went and each time I went passed. The food was average, but it's focus is the party atmosphere, which is led by the music, internal layout and design. More of a place for under 30's, I felt a little out of place, being 50, but still thoroughly enjoyed my couple of hours here and would recommend it for anyone who wants a great atmosphere in a club environment. The 5 stars is purely because it is so led my the music, not the food.

    Might be an unpopular opinion. Yes vibes were really good here but the food … I would say was really mediocre. Came on a day where you had to order their set menu, which we were pretty fine about it since the price and the number of dishes seems pretty fair. The meal started off quite good, but after the tacos everything went downhill the chicken was super dry, everything tasted bland. Would have love it if we get to choose what to order. Honestly think it might be because everything was mass made that the taste just wasn’t that good. If you’re just here for the atmosphere, drinks and party well then it is a really nice place.

    This place is a little pricey and the drinks are not something I would go for but, everything else is out of the world! We enjoyed all the dishes we ordered, the tacos, nachos, empanadas were all authentic and delicious. Simple flavours done really well :) The showstopper - Lamb shanks - were the best I have ever had! The lamb fell of the bone easily and the sauce was full with flavour. The churros were gooey on the inside and crunch on outside and the dips were to die for! The service was impeccable too. Tommy took great care of us and recommended some really tasty dishes 🫡

    Good sized menu of Mexican food - surprisingly good! Tacos and quesadillas were delicious and the cocktails were delicious. The interior of this venue is big but was very hot - not effective aircon it seems as even before it got busy it was very humid. The outdoor chairs are nice with a street view of this strip.

  • 4/5 Arina D. 2 years ago on Google
    Food wasn’t the best Mexican food but it was good enough make me full. Food was really tapas style, so don’t expect 1 food to make you full. A really nice restaurant concept, but sadly when I went they didn’t let us take any photos within the eating area just specific areas only hence only 1 food photo. The staff was really friendly! I would come again to experience a bigger crowd and party. It was just too boring because of the little crowd.

    The food here is so good! We ordered churros and an orange drink. Both tasted really nice. The place is full of energy, and everyone is having a good time. The music is also good. The staff are quick in responding. We were guided by the staff to a free table because the security had told us to just stand. But we ended up ordering some food and drinks. So happy that the waiters here are very friendly.

    Staff are incredibly friendly. Food is spot on. Atmosphere is fun, colourful and restaurant is in a big open space. Every lunch there is a gorgeous 3 piece spanish band who go from table to table taking requests. Highly recommended. 27k for a "feed me option".

    Good place to hangout if you like to have a night out with your friends and enjoy a nice drink, the food is average for me and quite expensive to be honest and over rated. This place is usually full at night so if you want to go here, you better make a reservation.

    If you’re wanting a fun night out in Seminyak, Motel Mexicola is the place to be. The venue is designed to envision an authentic, Mexican Cantina spread out over 2 levels. On the ground floor you will find a large stage and communal tables, which everyone ends up dancing on come 10pm! The staff hype everyone up, encouraging everyone to get up and dance and even start pouring tequila shots to the crowd. I’ve eaten a few times here for dinner which is OK, but I would recommend coming for the party rather than the food.

    Be careful when you are made to buy drink coupons before getting in. They have issues with what cocktails one can buy. And most people end up paying for an extra drink. It's an unnecessary screw up from their side. The staff tried to over charge us initially but when we told them it's unfair, they rectified it. The food was very tasty. We got the Feed Me menu for the table. The drinks were very good. The place has a very fun vibe with a lot of young drunk people dancing all through the evening. Motel Mexicola is an institution for all Bali visitors. And it does not disappoint. Be prepared to stand in line to get in, specially during the holidays. But it is worth the wait.

    Has a really good time at motel Mexicola, I can see why this place is so Popular. Surprisingly it’s not just the decor and party vibes, but the food is really good. We tried 4 different tacos, all of them good but our favourites were the pork and fish tacos. However the best was the loaded fries with crane asada. Would go back just for that. A must try.

    Vibes and service were great but that's about it. Food was alright and nothing much to shout out about. There are definitely better food options out there in Bali. Churros were really disappointing as it was soggy and not crispy. Tacos were alright. Their main duck dish was really good and a must order!

    Customer service was amazing!!! Very very fast service. I ordered a virgin mojito and did not taste like one but i was assured it was a virgin. Food came out hot and fresh. Good music all night and was such a vibe, But get ready to spend!!! Overall was a good experience and food was very very nice!!

    Came to dance here and it was okay. We stayed only for 40-45 minutes because of the music (didn’t like it). There are some better clubs. Overall it is worth visiting and it is the place where you can dance on the table! Staff is very friendly and nice dancers:)

    Me and my Husband thought we would give this a try.. We had the 'Feed me' option, which is a selection of there favourites.. Oh my goodness, there was soo much food, it just kept coming, and every single dish was delicious!! The decor was incredible and the DJ was fantastic. I would recommend reserving a table as it gets quite busy. It is definitely aimed at a younger demographic and the music was 'Party' so wouldn't recommend if your not up for loud music. The reason I have dropped a star is because there were no Mocktails or Fresh Juices available. Me and my Husband don't drink, so a fresh fruit drink would have been nice. Other than that, top quality, highly recommend!!!

    Loveee the vibes! Unique Mexican style lounge/bar. The drink rouletes were fun as well.. Tried nearly all the drinks, they were unique and wonderful. Do notes that you can’t take any picture inside the place!

    My favorite place for a party! The staff are super friendly and fun! Especially the guy who do the cleaning. If you're lucky, you will see him dancing while doing his job. There are indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor located in the terrace next to the main road. There are 2 floor for Indoor seating. Bars are located in 1st floor. Serve alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. IDR 40K for beers and 120K-ish for cocktail. Food is a bit expensive, IDR 50K for a single taco

  • 5/5 Luh F. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is what I called ‘Bali must visit’. One of the club where I feel welcome. Everyone is just happy, no hate, no drama and just dance. Even the staff is dancing while they’re doing their job, the cleaning man especially, with his broom he would dance and sweep the floor. That kind of vibe I can only get in Mexicola! Well done management for staff training, not only prioritize the guest but also their staff and the welcoming hospitality. That’s what a nightclub should be!

  • 3/5 Koalafood c. 4 months ago on Google
    Very loud music, great vibes but not so great if you wanna chat coz you have to yell. Lots of fans keeping you cool but blows the paper food liner away. No outside drinks, including bottled water, allowed inside & there’s even a security check prior to entering which made it feel very safe. We ordered tacos & tostadas. Nothing super special about them, standard taste you would get in Australia. Average IDR50K per taco/tostadas + 17% surcharge. 2 was filling enough for us for a snack & to experience the atmosphere. Definitely a tourist destination. If you let them know it’s someone in your party’s birthday & pay for churros, they come with a candle, throw some pans on the ground near your table and a group of staff sing happy birthday to your birthday person which is quite fun.

    So much food !! We had the set menu,there was so much I'm not sure I remember everything we had. It was delicious and plentiful. Staff were friendly and attentive. Love the decor. For entre we had guacamole and corn chips, calamares and esquites (a delicious pot of grilled corn). Then i remember eating tacos birria de res (beef tacos), quesadilla,chamorro de borrego (luscious soft lamb shanks) and then churro for dessert. Was excellent. Well worth it.

  • 2/5 PAOLA C. 2 months ago on Google • 15 reviews New
    The food was good and the cocktails were good too but we had our table only for 45 minutes because after that time the place was open for the party atmosphere it was not a problem but in the middle of the party when I was enjoying with friends, a waiter came to ask us for the table where we were dancing, I thought why he was removing it, but no, he simply moved us to take it to a friend who owned it. I'm also paying, so it was very annoying for me. Very disappointed and was hoping for a better place as some people recommended me to visit it on my trip to Bali.

  • 4/5 Ryan S. 2 years ago on Google
    Good, nice ambiance, price little bit pricy but taste was good. Pretty entertaining

  • 5/5 argasari s. 4 months ago on Google
    A must visit in Bali esp if you like cheesy and easy listening famous music you can sing along to. Super humid even though there are fans here and there. Great place for hang out and have fun with friends and your loved ones.

  • 4/5 Lin H. 2 years ago on Google
    nice ambience, but ironically you cannot take picture inside. you can only take outside picture. but I saw some people just don't care about this and freely take pictures. sometimes the staff doesn't wear mask, if you are not concerned with this, this is definitely a nice place to go. their Chocolate lava dessert is tasty (i forgot the name tho)

  • 4/5 Dee J. 6 months ago on Google
    First time .. but I loved it. Love the foods we chose but the margarita picante not that delicious, lack of tequila, I tasted it like too much water and lemon instead. Good DJ after dinner. Good ambiance everybody looks happy. Definitely will come back and try other menu.

  • 4/5 Luke C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great atmosphere and vibe. Great drinks and my veggie food was good. Price is on the high side, but it is the vibe you're there for. Although my friends think they got a sore guts from the fish tacos..

  • 4/5 Agung F. 2 years ago on Google
    The services was good, drinks was good, food was good. The dance floor is kinda small and the lights is too bright. The songs was so so, sometimes hip sometimes pass.

  • 4/5 Brenda Y. 2 years ago on Google
    You will be asked whether you only want to drink or have a dinner. If you only want to drink, they will give you your seat for an hour. If you want to have a dinner, they are going to give you one and a half hour. They serve good food! We ordered guacamole and some kind of mexican pizza 🍕 taste really good. Ordered lemonade and definitely taste like lemonade, only sourness. Haha good music even though I could only recognize some of the songs, and the transition does not work that well between songs. There are lots of photo spots, especially the stairs.

  • 4/5 Ross M. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome atmosphere, it really captures the stereotypical Mexican vibe. The tacos we had tasted pretty authentic for being in Bali! The cocktails we're delicious as well, the La Bonita and Paloma are definitely the best. The only drawback is that you're paying Australian prices. Together we had 4 cocktails, 6 tacos and 2 esquires which came out about Rp 1,100,000 (about AUD $110). But definitely worth going with friends for dinner and drinks.

  • 5/5 Mark K. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for dinner, staying about 3 hours. The food was great, and the drinks excellent. As the night developed the crowd increased, the music went up and the night kicked off. It’s a destination location for your trip to Bali

  • 5/5 John M. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm not sure why this place scores just over 4, the food is pretty good with lots of options and choices. Our waitress was excellent too. There's a fixed price option from which you can pick lots of different dishes & pretty much all the ones we had were well done and tasty. It's night spot with good food & great service. The music was pretty solid but not so loud as to completely drown out conversation in the restaurant area
