Restaurant Mexican restaurant Taco restaurant

😐 Don’t come hungry, if you do, expect to pay a lot. Three small tacos and a drink will easily set you back 15€ and you will only be marginally satisfied. The tacos are very small, and quite bland by any authentic taco standards. I realize that this is France, but the price to food ratio here is outra... People often mention tacos, burrito, Mexican, good, service,

    Don’t come hungry, if you do, expect to pay a lot. Three small tacos and a drink will easily set you back 15€ and you will only be marginally satisfied. The tacos are very small, and quite bland by any authentic taco standards. I realize that this is France, but the price to food ratio here is outrageous. The space itself is not that bad, with a very brightly decorated wash room. Seating was decent, with a few spots on the ground level and additional seating available upstairs. Service was welcoming and helpful. It would take a lot for me to re-visit. The toilet here was surprisingly large and spacious, easily accommodating persons with mobility impairments or children.

    We had a great time at Gomex Cantina! The food was delicious and the service was great. We had tacos, a burrito, and a torta. They were all equally delicious! We also had tortilla chips and would highly recommend them as well. There is lots of seating upstairs and outside as well. Overall, I would recommend this place if you are craving Mexican food. They also spoke Spanish!

    Small portions and expensive for Lyon. Unfriendly staff thou I can understand they were busy. The food is good and fresh but with few steps you will find much better options in all senses, better prices, better service, better portions.

    This is an authentic Mexican food restaurant with a French twist. We had ceviche, micheladas, and tacos. Recommend the tacos al pastor. Michelada was different but good.

    Good food, bad service. And who ever heard of a Mexican restaurant that runs out of guacamole. Asked for napkins and the people at the next table handed me two as they rolled their eyes, letting me know there was a service problem. Not planning on going back.

    Super bad experience for the first time. After we set down the guy just came to ask us to change the table as that table was reserved. The place was empty !! Even you cant set anywhere as the ground is not fix. No sign that this table is reserved. Just it was easy to find other place with sun to eat more than write this negative comment. After this negative experience we had.

    The food was good and tasty but a bit too dry, especially the burrito and quesadilla. The burrito would benefit from having some oignon and a bit more salsa or pico de Gallo or tomatillo salsa in addition to chile verde or maybe thinly cut lettuce in order to make it less dry and a bit crunchier. The tiny side salad with the burrito was useless IMO. A little side of extra salsa would be good also with the fried tortilla chips in the kids meal. The staff was nice.

    Burrito : 👎🏻 Taste : salad with the sauce was very tasty ...but burrito itself was bad...have eaten burrito at so many places but this one was not worth and most expensive burrito i think i have ever had 16€... taste wise it was not a burrito at all... Service: Service was very very good 👍🏼

    It is a small restaurant with a typical Mexican food. The food was fresh and has very original flavours Very friendly staff The only but is that when full it can be a very noisy place. Also parking there is impossible, so better to search for a parking nearby.

    Authentic. Fresh. Tasty. Excellent service. I could not have been more pleasantly surprised. May be the best Mexican food I've had in Europe. Good Veggie/Vegan options also.

    Good not great. The tacos were way too juicy, and so I ended up eating my tacos with a fork. 12€ for 3 tacos (I expected tacos 100% made in Mexico, if you know what I mean) Their pricing is way too high for what you get. The atmosphere of the restaurant is nice and cozy. Too bad the food don't match the experience.

    Generous servings, a friendly staff, and a taste of home. Would definitely recommend for "paisas" missing Mexican food or for anyone wanting to try something as close to the authentic as possible.

    Food here was excellent and the terrace is a great little spot to sit out.

    As a former Texan I can certify this is legit Mexican food. Tacos are served on 100% corn tortillas with just meat, cilantro, onion, and a squeeze of lime, as they should be. Margaritas were delicious. Tortas are served on Sunday so we'll be back for those. Service was very friendly and efficient. Muchas gracias!

👍 Nice experience in this new restaurant. Gentle staff, there is a nice feeling. I recommend the salads which are super tasty and creative. Could not experience the fresh juice as the restaurant seems to have some teething problems but I will come back in a few weeks to try more.
