😠 Very very bad experience. Food was terrible, service was even worse. Rib was covered with fat and no eatable meat. Chilli con Carne was like a bowl of oil soup. There was no change to order rice with it for side dish. And last the jalapeno sticks had burnt dough. After the feed back to the waiter he...

    Mediocre food at best, doesn't taste to much, undercooked, also really slow service. The owner thinks 1 hour and 20 minutes is acceptable delivery time for food, and also the food wasn't even started on, poor information. Would not recommend to my worst enemy.

There was no change to order rice with it for side dish. And last the jalapeno sticks had burnt dough. After the feed back to the waiter he said to us: “it is what it is”and we had to pay the full bill. PLEASE PLEASE NEVER GO THERE!!!!

    Out of all the mexican restaurants in Estonia, it’s not in top 3. Margaritas are very good, but let me tell you about the food 😃. We had a very very greasy jalapeño poppers, my stomach still hurts from eating them. We also had nachos with cheese, sorry but the cheese was so hard basic eatonian cheese with no taste. And finally the mexican most famous guacamole was from store! They said that they use blender but who uses blener to mix guacamole? Thats not a right way to serve mexican food. So disappointed 😔

    The best Mexican I've ever eaten. Margaritas made with love from real ingredients and no essence kitchen. Super good service. Some of the portions are so big that they are enough to share with several people, and the price is affordable in our opinion. The place is quite out of the way, which is why there are quite a few people. However, we went closer to 10 pm to eat. Very good theme music.

    I really want to like this place but I’m struggling with the number of starts to give it. -the beef fajita was absolutely delicious, the only problem is that I ordered beef enchilada. -the mint-pineapple margarita was delicious but we only ordered it because they had run out of mango. -the chicken quesadilla was nice enough but w only ordered it because the there was no chorizo available. -the guacamole plate was extremely delicious but we didn’t get napkins until after having eaten this dish.

    Very tasty food. Friendly service.

    Mukava meksikolais tyylinen paikka, ei ehkä halvin. Isommalla menulla olisi voinut arvostella paremmin ja nyt oli hiljainen sunnuntai ilta, myös keittössäkin. Paikka ei löydy vahingossa, on "piilossa" sisäpihalla, seuraa tolpassa olevaa opastetta

    Great Mexican restaurant with awesome food and drinks. Food was excellent, tons of flavor and really good portions. Service was also awesome.

    The three of us visited the eatery on a Tuesday evening. Besides us, there were three other smaller tables. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the experience. We waited 45 minutes for our food, the margaritas were mediocre, and two of the three desserts were definitely missing (churros and lava cake). In the case of the latter, we had already ordered the lava cakes at the same time as the main courses, and we only found out when the main courses arrived that we still couldn't get desserts.

    Best mexican food in Estonia, easy. The pulled pork enchiladas with rice and black beans are a personal favorite. And don’t miss out on their imported beers! And only place in Tallinn you can get tequila Don Julio 70, to be sipped rather than shotted

  • 5/5 caitlyn h. 1 year ago on Google
    Very delicious!! I had the beef enchiladas and chipotle salsa and chips, be prepared to have your drink new by 🌶️🌶️. First Mexican restaurant I have come across my time in Europe, this place was a hidden gem.

  • 3/5 Priscila T. 1 year ago on Google
    Nachos were good. But the Burrito and Enchiladas were tasteless. We felt a big lack of seasoning, specially talking about Mexican food. I waited for artesanal authentic food. But instead everything tastes like processed frozen food.

  • 1/5 Kristjan T. 1 year ago on Google
    Food is decent but being here 2 times in 4 years i see same problems. When you go here take a note that there is no banana, raspberry, mango, meat for tacos and eventually they'll run out of mint. Even though you made a reservation a week prior.. also, there is a salsa dj who blasts the music on full volume.

  • 5/5 Chuck C. 1 year ago on Google
    Great chili con carne. If you want it spicy, you may want to tell them HOW spicy because the highest level is not something you will soon forget. 😀

  • 5/5 Ivar M. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best Mexican restaurants in the area. Great food and great margaritas! 🌮🇲🇽🍸

  • 5/5 Rita van E. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious food, great value for money and very good service. Can't wait to go back. We were a big group and they easily accommodates us.

  • 3/5 Ansh J. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was tasty, even if not very authentic. Portion was filling. However my main problem was the pricing. I looked at the menu outside the menu and knew I wanted the enchilada with bean, which per the menu was 10,50 EUR. I didn't bother seeing the menu once inside, so I was surprised when I was charged 12,50. I understand that there is high inflation but as a restaurant, Ancho is responsible for ensuring they communicate the right prices at all times and change the menus as needed.

    The food was great a little spicy but over all good. The staff was really nice and willing to help out when ever we needed it.

    Very tasty food that is affordable. Great service. Enjoyed our evening here

  • 5/5 Jonatan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Best tacos in Tallinn. My favorite is the "Mexican". Also I like "Classic Margarita" and a Sol.

  • 5/5 Isabel L. 1 year ago on Google
    Our experience at Ancho was wonderful. First time trying out this restaurant and I couldn’t recommend it more. Incredibly friendly staff. They brought water for our dog and kept making sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant has an authentic Mexican touch to it, tables inside and outside with good music. And now the best part…the food. Absolutely delicious fresh food. We had the tiger prawn burritos which were to die for. If you’re looking for a restaurant with a good vibe and excellent food you should definitely try out Ancho.

  • 5/5 Kevin B. 5 years ago on Google
    Great authentic Mexican food! We got the Mexicano tacos, quesadilla, and nachos with guacamole and we were very pleased with the food. Salsa was good but not too spicy. Staff was very friendly and spoke perfect English. Overall a great place!

  • 5/5 Eva Kristina V. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best food experiences I’ve recently had in Tallinn. Amazing. And the churros. Best in Tallinn 😍

  • 5/5 Egert V. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is amazing and the place itself looks really good inside. My "go to" is burrito con carne ❤️. Also the best time to visit Ancho is at 12-15 since there is a lunch special at that time.

  • 5/5 Oleksandr H. 1 year ago on Google
    Hearty meals for a moderate price. The atmosphere is also good. And kudos to the lady that served us, she's very nice and helpful!

  • 5/5 Adrian G. 2 years ago on Google
    Really good menu with lots on offer for all tastes. Food packs plenty of flavour and really generous portions. Also a good place to take children, staff were all really helpful and accomodating definitely worth the walk from old town.

  • 1/5 Pauline S. 2 years ago on Google
    The wait time was horrendous. We came with 6 people and all our foods were served at a different time so we could not eat together. There were not many other people there. Nachos came with a very bland cheese sauce (4,00€ for store bought nachos and bad sauce) and the jalpeño poppers (5,50€ for 3) were disgusting. One of them had a very fermented taste. The seeds were not removed and the cheese filling was solid. No way I am coming back here, La Tabla is a very good option for Mexican Food.

  • 5/5 Erika Andrea Carranza R. 2 years ago on Google
    Price was very good pretty aligned with the service and flavor, very authentic Mexican restaurant. I also like the music and general vibe of the place.

  • 4/5 Melik D. 2 years ago on Google
    Dear gringos, bring your passport also:) the decoration welcomes you the artificial Mexican territory. In screens you can travel in streets and beaches of Mexico. For foods, Burritos Con Carne was quite good. Prices are ok, they don't have every beer in the menu. With group of friends you may have spend quite nice time in there!

  • 1/5 Ahto L. 2 years ago on Google
    Waited over an hour to get 2 quesadillas while the restaurant was practically empty. Clearly understaffed and doesn't care about customer satisfaction. I have better things to do with my life than spend it waiting for your food. I find it hard to believe that this isn't a recurring situation here.

  • 3/5 Dan A. 2 years ago on Google
    The one thing worth ordering from their menu are Cochinitas pibil. They do them right, very tasty. Margaritas are closer to what they are like in the U.S. Also tasty but they need to calculate their alcohol better. Margaritas are alcoholic drinks! Put alcohol in it. Nachos were stale and poorly prepared. The cheese seemed to be very carelessly poured on. Basically only about 25% of the nachos were covered in cheese which was already hardened. Not ok. The location is horrid, and they are often missing items from the menu. Service is friendly. Plenty of sitting. I hope they survive.

  • 5/5 Megan F. 2 years ago on Google
    Good Mexican/texmex food for the Baltic states. It won't excite you if you are looking for authentic food but if you haven't had Mexican food in a while a d are craving it the food was still very yummy! Nice staff and attentive service!

  • 5/5 Povilas K. 2 years ago on Google
    Great flavors, nice service, quite large portions - definitely coking back again!
