    Very good chicken fajitas and the cheese sticks appetizer was good too! If you use the little hot sauce with the tiny spoon, test it first (a couple of drops was all I needed)! Service was great!

    Authentische Mexikanische Küche (war schon in MEX). Die Fajitas wurden auf heisen Stein durch gegart und serviert. Das Carne war schön schlotzig mit etwas Bratensud. Essen im Allgemeinen sehr lecker und ausreichend. Happy Hour ist 24/7: Alle Cocktails auf der Karte immer für absolut faire 5,90 EUR. Klare Empfehlung.

    Stumbled on to this spot while walking around Lisbon's city center. It's in the midst of many tourist trap type restaurants. The food was good and had nice flavors, but don't expect hipster, niche, nor authentic Mexican. Margaritas were really nice and seemed decently priced. Service was really attentive. The restaurant itself was a bit dark and if you're looking for a quiet spot for a meal, this isn't it. It's right next to the concert hall and plays a song on repeat, all day. Overall, good food and good value!

    At the beginning I was a bit reserved to try this restaurant as it is in a touristic area, then I decided to give it a shot. I wasn’t disappointed at all, the food was good and so tasty, i chose shrimps with rice and salad, Nickita the kind lady who served me was so friendly and helpful. Finally i found a good mexican restaurant in Lisboa 😊 and I would be happy to come back with my friends next time and check their live music. Thank you guys for this satisfying experience 🥰

    By far, the BEST Mexican food in Lisbon. The whole experience was very surprising, as unfortunately we are not used to receiving value for our money. The most flavorful food we’ve had here in Lisbon. We had the cheese nachos, tacos and the burrito. ( usually comes with plenty of beans but we asked for it to be taken out). I promise you will not be disappointed when u come here. Also, the waitress and waiter are super nice and inviting. Will definitely come back!!

    Sehr leckeres Essen. Super Cocktails. Und der Service war sehr aufmerksam, freundlich und sehr zuvorkommend. Ein rundum gelungener Abend in Lissabon mit authentischem mexikanischen Essen. Auf jedenfall empfehlenswert - hier macht man nichts falsch!

    ⁉️BRIEFLY ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I haven't tried many Mexican restaurants but definitely this one is among the best in Lisbon! Tacos 🌮 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I really loved them! Great quality and quantity! Plus the salad used is just amazing 😍 Michelada 🍹 ⭐⭐⭐ While it was of great quantity, the flavour was somehow spicy and not as enjoyable as I'd have thought.

    If you want to get great Mexican food in Lisbon, then this is the place to go for. The vegetarian burrito was fantastic, also the cocktail "Inka" was great. Service was amazing too. Muchas gracias por todo!

    Do NOT expect anything authentic, in fact calling this restaurant Mexican food is quite frankly offensive to Mexican food. That being said, the food is tasty. We weren’t terribly disappointed as we weren’t expecting much, despite the raving reviews. But seriously, have the owners/cooks even been to Mexico or had real authentic food themselves? Being from Texas (US) and having visited Mexico numerous times, I have had Mexican food. This place isn’t authentic. Corn in the chimichangas? C’mon…

    The restaurant was amazing in every sense imaginable! From the great staff to delicious food, this place has it all. The only regret I have is that I did not go to the restaurant sooner. The owner, Vidal, is extremely friendly and nice, making the experience even better. Definitely recommend taking the margaritas with the food - perfect combo!

    Just walked in and didn't expect much. Vidal was a great host for us and the food was really good, some of the best we've had in a while (the kids are usually picky about it, but not here).

    The most amazing delicious authentic Mexican food we have ever tasted. It was a fantastic experience. The hospitality was amazing, we got a lot of personal attention and the host was invested in our interests of food. His name is Vidal, he was great! The vibe in the restaurant is great on fridays and saturdays. There is live music and it’s perfect. They also have a broad offer in cocktails for a good price. Absolutely the best restaurant we’ve been to in Lisbon.

    El Paso Cantina Mexicana y Cocktail Bar offers a pleasant dining experience with several pros. The fajitas were delicious, and the affordability of drinks adds to the appeal. The service is attentive, contributing to an enjoyable meal. The outdoor seating option enhances the overall atmosphere. However, there were a few drawbacks to consider. There seemed to be a shortage of tortillas provided for the fajitas, which can be a letdown. Additionally, the absence of complimentary water is worth noting. Another minor inconvenience is that the restaurant's online hours didn't align with the actual operating hours in person, which can be frustrating for diners expecting a specific schedule. In summary, El Paso Cantina Mexicana y Cocktail Bar offers good food, affordable drinks, and pleasant service. While there were some minor issues and differing hours, it remains a worthwhile choice for Mexican cuisine.
