👍👍 The best Mexican food I’ve eaten in Portugal and some of the best I’ve ever had period. As a native Texan it’s sometimes challenging to find good Mexican food, but this place will not disappoint. We ordered several of the tacos as well as the enchilada and flautas and it was all incredible. Go HERE.

    I am Mexican and was very skeptical about a Mexican restaurant in Portugal. Boy, I am so glad we gave it a try! Every single item we tried was delish starting with the guacamole.i had the enchiladas and my son ordered tacos and flautas. Every single bite was savory and dang GOOD!!! The salsas were on point! They did an excellent job with the margaritas as well. The service made the entire meal even better. I wish I had met the chef to congratulate him. Excellent place! You will not be disappointed!!!

    We went there on the recommendation of my Mexican friend. The atmosphere and design of the place are amazing. The staff is super friendly and the foods are good. I liked tortillas and guacamole more than tacos. I think tacos could be better.

    Unbelievable how the quality level of this place has decreased. Used to be number one tacos in Lisbon and last time (August 2023) was a total disappointment. The flavors have changed to the point where I wouldn’t recognize them. The margarita also had no flavor and the salsas were the worst part. Also, during our meal, the waiters decided to go on their break across the street… So sad to see this place change so much. Cochinita pibil was still good.

    Lovely place with good tacos. The waiter speaks English perfectly and can describe each meal - the service was great. The place is also comfy and friendly. I particularly enjoyed the tacos with pulled pork, which were full of flavor especially when adding the onion sauce. The beef taco though was quite dry - I’d add some beans/corn/onions. The tacos are small (as they should be) and not overwhelmed with different stuffing. Definitely would return!

    Their was a totally unexpected place to find delicious Mexican tacos. I had a Paloma which was super delicious and refreshing on a day when it was almost 90°f in Cascais. The salsas were spicy and really good. I tried 4 tacos and each one was more delicious than the next. Literally can’t stop raving about this place! The staff was so friendly/welcoming and I’ll be thinking about this place for a long while!

    Went to this place after visiting the beach. I would definitely recommend! The tacos taste amazing and are packed with flavour, and the waiter was amazing! He was so enthusiastic and recommended some tacos and drinks to my family. Its nice when you have such a enthusiastic waiter. For soft drinks, would recommend the Le Tribute ginger beer. The drink tastes very authentic and natural. I would definitely recommend this place. Its a must visit in Cascais!

    Enjoyed our dinner very much After eating wonderful Portuguese food, we Americans were hungry for Mexican food. We were pleasantly surprised how authentic it was. We enjoyed tacos and chicken flautas and the guacamole was very good. Nice spices. Definitely should go while in Cascais.

    Very disappointing experience. Took one bite of these mushroom and cheese tacos and they were just full of grease. No flavour at all. Explained to a waiter and waitress that they did not taste good and they just keep saying they didn’t understand and just brought me over the bill instead and charged me for them. Very disappointing experience.

    Having been raised on Mexican food , I’ve been on a mission to find the best Mexican food in the area for years. So, when I asked a local Mexican specialty food owner if he knew of a place, and he recommended this one, I got there as soon as possible. I could have cried when they told me they sold FROZEN margaritas, and when I tasted the very authentic street tacos. It helps that the staff were all so friendly and attentive too! Thank you to Jose and his crew for helping me feel at home. We’ll be back again…and again…and again.

    Finally found true Mexican food/tacos. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone. Authentic salsa, beans, drinks, chips, and the food.

    Great Service! Amazing Tacos, Guac & Aztec Soup!!! The picture is what's left after the Carnitas were eaten... 😁

    Excellent place, I am Mexican and can say it’s really good. I also have many food allergies and they where very helpful. Highly recommend it.

    Drinks are good, food was good. Outside tables are great if the next table over isn’t totally drunk. Not the restaurants fault though. Do wish they had flour tortillas instead of corn.

    Really lovely Mexican food, the owner / manager is super friendly and takes time to explain the flavours. I had the tacos - so tasty and fresh! Home made lemonade is perfect on a hot day and if you have a sweet tooth the cheesecake was gorgeous 😋 would recommend!

    I'm Mexican and this place was surprisingly good. The pastor taco was good, but the cochinita was an absolute bomb, so very well prepared, just like back home. And the sauces are actually spicy!!! 👌🏻 I was very pleased. The agua de jamaica was also a perfect execution. The tacos are not hard shells which is a welcome and fun surprise here in Europe. Overall I was very pleased. If you are craving Mexican food, this is definitely a good spot. My vegetarian friend was able to have mushrooms and rajas tacos, which is also a plus!

    Accidently walked into this place for a beer with a friend. So happy we did. The staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and chatty to the right ammount. The tacos were tasty, the Mezcal was delicious and the place is just really nice and clean. Most definitely will recommend this place ♥️

    The best tacos in town! Authentic, abundant, and delicious. The place is great and the staff are always courteous and friendly. Their Micheladas are excellent, too.

    Visiting from California for a school reunion and they did not disappoint. The staff and owner were warm and friendly and the food was amazing. We actually visited three times before departing because it was that damn good. I recommend you start off with the guacamole and chips and follow up with the the carnitas and el pastor tacos for sure.

    Great experience. The tacos are very authentic and absolutely delicious. I felt like if I was back in Mexico. The service was very good too, they were all super nice and friendly, including the owner, who is Mexican. I told him I was Mexican and he brought me an extra spicy sauce. Delicious and authentic Mexican food and drinks and lovely people, what more could you ask for!! 100% recommended.
