😠 I have to say, ordering from this place was nothing short of a culinary catastrophe. I took one look at the food and couldn't resist blurting out, "this food looks super mid," and let me tell you, the ladies I was dining with didn't even flinch. That's how unimpressive it was. The cheese quesadilla... People often mention good, service, tacos, burrito,

    This is one of the most amazing and authentic Mexican places in Switzerland! The service was quick and excellent. There is a lot of variety and all ingredients were really fresh.

    5 star to this home made chilly? Spicy sauce!!! (Forgot to take a pic unfortunately….🥲)You might need to ask separately. It made everything taste so good. Tacos and burritos both are good considering we are in Switzerland.

    Outstanding Mexican tacos and burritos. Not exactly cheap but the portions are huge. I highly recommend it.

    Good food, tasted good and filled me up. Nothing outstanding but still very good. Tad expensive, but same as most things in switzerland. About 12 or 13 francs for a burrito.

    Honestly the worse “quick service” experience. Just ordered and ate from there. I arrived, there was 1 order before me, took them 20 minutes to make quesadillas! When it comes to 6 chf “cochinita pibil” quesadillas, i expect meat in it. The “cochinita pibil” quesadilla had absolutely no meat! Not only do i wait 20 minutes but i ate cheese quesadillas. Btw, I saw the lady make it and i saw the order after me, clearly there is no guideline : i got literally a cheese quesadilla. Also, i could see the amount of meat that the other staff put in the next “quesadillas” order and there are no guidelines, depending on “who” makes your quesadilla, the employee decides how much meat to put in. I truly believe in guidelines in such restaurant otherwise same staff making the food. In summary, 1 star for a 20 min, 21 Chf cheese quesadilla menu. If i didn’t have to leave for my appointment i would have stayed, asked for it to be redone but after 20 minutes waiting i was already late! I am not coming back. First and last experience. PS: a smile wouldn’t hurt!

    A great place if you want to grab Mexican delicious food to eat with your friends and family. I loved those tacos joint in Central Lausanne! The food was amazing, and the staff was super friendly, especially Byron. He was so nice and served us quickly. We'll definitely be back to eat here again!

    Tried out Mexicana for the first time today. Delicious burrito!! I had the porc mariné...comes with all the fixings. I ordered just the burrito, and the owner offered me the homemade lime lemonade on the house. Friendly, quick service...authentic music, a lovely little place!

    Pure mexican taste in this place. I loved the tacos, they are very traditional, great tortillas and meat preparation 👌 (carnitas were great). I was afraid of getting small tacos, but I got the package of 4 tacos (normal size tortilla) with nachos and drink, and it was more than enough. The two people in the service were extremely nice and were mexican, that says a lot about the place. Definitely mexican traditional. Long time that I did not have such a great tacos.

    Without writing too much, most importantly, what is this 'guacomole'???? I asked for extra guac and got, what appears to be sour cream withsome kind of powder inside? Definitely NOT real avocado, and very, very bad taste. Burritos were ok, but this guac just turned my stomach. Especially paying +++20/burrito

    Excellent food, very tasty and it shows that it is home made! In addition, nice atmosphere and very friendly staff! We have a New Mexican place in Lausanne. Finally! 🌯🌮 We look forward it expands so that we can sit and enjoy some home made margaritas! 🍸

    It is a small take away place (they have literally 3 tables to sit) and it might look a bit fastfoody, but food is really good and tasty. Definitely worth visiting.

  • 5/5 Liliana Sánchez V. 9 months ago on Google
    The grilled pork was my favorite :3 I'll definitely come back.

    I have to say, ordering from this place was nothing short of a culinary catastrophe. I took one look at the food and couldn't resist blurting out, "this food looks super mid," and let me tell you, the ladies I was dining with didn't even flinch. That's how unimpressive it was. The cheese quesadillas were like a cruel joke – they were so stuffed with cheese that it felt like they were playing a prank on me. And don't even get me started on the guacamole for the nachos; it was so bad, I'm convinced they must've used avocados from another dimension. But here's the kicker: it wasn't just a disappointing meal; it was a full-blown gastrointestinal disaster. I spent the entire Sunday on a rollercoaster ride between my bed and the toilet. I was sweating bullets, praying for relief, and I won't go into the graphic details of my bathroom ordeal, but let's just say it was a day I'd rather forget. And let me tell you, the ladies had their own special night of misery. It was like a symphony of stomach troubles, and we were all playing our part. So, unless you have a strange desire for explosive diarrhea and want to feel like absolute garbage, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. In fact, I'd say avoid it like the plague. Jesus Christ, what a disaster!
