Being a Canadian and living in Istanbul I don’t get to indulge in Mexican food very often. After reading google reviews about this place I knew I had to try it for myself during my self made Food Tour. We (2 people) ordered the nachos to share and it was more than enough for us. The sour cream, salsa, and guacamole were all delicious. We found the nacho chips were over cooked (see the burnt edges). Traditional nacho chips were not used, they were similar (or actually were?) to spicy Doritos. The beer was pretty expensive as well when comparing it to different locations in Tirana. It’s worth a try, my opinion is solely based on my one order. Also be sure to tell them if you want actual Mexican flavor. They’ve adjusted their general menu to fit the tastes of Albanians.

Decided to eat here as per the high ratings but still waiting for fajitas after 45 minutes! There are only four tables but it’s taking forever to serve the food. We asked for white wine, was given red. The only food brought was a burrito with chicken though we had asked for beef. Very bad service! Edit: They served the fajitas now and still cannot believe how white beef can be!

DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS AWFUL PLACE. We ordered 2 portions of tacos from this place and this is what they looked like. Tasteless, poorly presented, with literally nothing but some meat and onions in there. We called to complain about the horrendous taste and look of our food order and the manager was very rude and disrespectful to us, completely ignoring our complaint and being dismissive and hanging up the phone. Do not waste your money on this terrible restaurant with terrible food and even worse costumer support. Shameful

I would not recomend this place. My chicken 'tacos' were actually cold chicken tortillas instead. The tortilla itself had a really though texture. The chicken tasted like shoarma and as you can see, the avocado wasnt even fresh. The food was not spicy at all and i'm not sure if the sauce was supposed to be cheese sauce because it was way to milky. For a price like this i would have expected an bigger portion and higher quality food. Also the presentation was absolutely aweful. Not to mention the rude staff that had an attitude against me.

I’ve been here three times in the past three years. I give it a new try every year and every year it is the same. The service is okay and the atmosphere is pretty good for Mexican in Albania, but neither of these make it worth coming here because the food is so terrible. Having been to Mexico a dozen times and lived near the southwestern United States, I’ve had Mexican food seemingly everywhere and endlessly. I wish the food here could be described as bad Mexican but it isn’t even that. There is really nothing about the food that makes it taste Mexican. But even so, if the flavor were at least okay, it would be understandable being that Albania is so far from Mexico. But the flavor is horrible. It truly is. I mean truly. In fact, it is so bad, you should come here once just to experience it so you can tell your friends how you wanted to die while eating to end the suffering.

The food was okay, but lacked flavour and the chicken was dry and could have done with some sauce or less thorough cooking. Not the cheapest place either and not the best service. Overall, it's hard to justify the premium price point

I really like this place. I think the food is delicious, traditional Mexican Food with a spin of Albanian cousine. The menu has a nice selection to choose from, the portions are very large. My friends and I have eaten here a thousand times and never been disappointed.

Super excited to try my favorite home dishes. The Carnitas we cooked very well. Full of flavor I was surprised they had corn 🌽 tortillas will definitely come back here again to get a little taste of home 🏡 here

I chose vegetarian options and they did not disappoint. Rice and beans were delicious and quesadilla w/veggies was also good. Prices are really affordable. Solid Mexican food!

Clearly these guys have never been to Mexico, or Texas. The "Mexican" flavors weren't even close to real Mexican food. The Chili con Queso was a baked ricotta thing that would have been more at home stuffed into a manicotti. They have all kinds of stuff on the menu, but only about a page of "Mexican". If you are looking for legit Mexican food, this isn't the place. It's more like a Mexican-themed Albanian restaurant. Nice atmosphere, mediocre food, and really overpriced.

Had an outstanding meal here! The atmosphere was great. Will definitely return again!

I have Been At This Location Multiple Times For many occassions and each time Everything has Been Perfect. Atmosphere Is Great. The Staff is Always Ready to Serve. The Food Is Great I Love it Alot Compared To The Other Mexican Restorants. In Honesty I never Been In Mexico Or Eaten On Mexican Restorants Outside Of Albania. But i can say full of Confidence That you will come out Happy. The Dish That I Request Usually is El Jumbo Combo or Tacos.

r/therewasanattempt If your looking for Mexican flavors that you haven’t had anywhere in Europe... keep looking. This isn’t the place. The Broccoli with my fajitas and eggplant in the quesadilla was completely unauthentic and unnecessary. The margaritas were good, but overall it was pretty expensive for Albania.

Location is great. Food was more than ok - the Sante Fee and Tachos we ordered were ok. The beer ok too. A little bit expensive because it doesn't offer original Mexican ingredients. Music was ok too. 4 stars because the waiter brought us first the Santa Fe Pies than the salad and last the drinks - that is not normal :-)

We ordered delivery and the food was amazing!! 🤩Pizza, nachos, beef and chicken quesadilla, cheeseburger and chicken wings. 🤤 The chicken quesadilla was my favorite.

One of my favorite experiences when visiting Tirana. Great atmosphere, polite and attentive staff, and most important; delicious food! The meat and produce are fresh and top quality no doubt, you’ll be hard pressed to find such quality ingredients back in the states. This is one of the benefits of dining in Albania. A natural and authentic twist to Mexican food. Love, from NYC ✌🏼

The vegetarian fajita platter (1,000 lek) is large and includes beans and rice. No smoking indoors, wifi available, elegant decor. Music is American retro.

One of the limited number of restaurants in Tirana that has a vegetarian list on its menu. Their products are nice, above average. As in every Mexican cuisine, the products will be a little heavy, so you may need to take a long walk in the streets of Tirana after the meal.

Love this place! The food is so delicious and not expensive at all!!

Hi. Actually this restaurant Compare with other traditional restaurants it's waoo , maybe they don't serve all kind of Mexican food,but as the location and the restaurant it self I can give 6/10 but the stuff love to talk and chat all the time together and forget about the clients...sorry guys you are not professional

I used to like their Mexican food a lot. Now the quality has dropped down.

Is it Mexican? Debatable. Is it delicious? Absolutely!

Delicious and fresh food! Extremely good quesadillas and crispy taco's.

Good experience in Tirana. Not 100% authentically Mexican, but close enough and EXCELLENT food. Good value for the money and yummy sauces. Drinks are also plentiful. Wish the menu had English translations but highly recommend.

I love mexican food and serendipity is one of the best for that. I loved everything about it, the place, the food and the staff. Recommend it to everyone who loves spicy food. I went there with my friend to celebrate a birthday and had a lot of fun.

The best Mexican restaurant in Tirana

Intersting place

At an affordable price you can eat some of the most delicious Mexican dishes the restaurant offers. The place is cosy and the staff very attentive...

They warn you on the menu that the food has been adapted to Albanian tastes The tacos taste like souvlaki, the drinks are a bit too sweet. The menu also has pizza risotto Chinese and traditional food, do what you want with this information

Really disappointed with the food. It was nothing even close to Mexican food. We ordered queso with chips and got 'speca me gjizë' just peppers with some white cheese and 4 chips. They definitely have no idea of what queso is. The enchiladas were not spicy at all and the quesadilla had no flavor. It's fine if you are looking for something different but not Mexican.

A fun and lively restaurant. I went on a Friday night and it was very busy. I had to wait briefly for a table. There was a three man band singing popular, traditional American songs you would here in a bar. They sounded good and added to the atmosphere. The staff were very friendly and attentive. The food was not traditional Mexican food. It has been adapted to the Albanian palate which likes less spice (this was stated on the English menu), but this did not take away from the taste of the food. It was very good as was the margarita. I'm sure I will return.

So, compared to several mexican food spots that have tried before, this got the trophy. Had the chance to try all the flavors at once and it was amazing. The “El Jumbo Combo” had tacos, santa fe, wings, quesadilla, cutlets, as well as 4 dresings. I enjoyed it mostly because they were in big amounts. For 2-3 people it is enough. The wine was cheap compared to other restaurants. Wanna note: besides all latino, the Cesar Salad was very fresh and I could glut with it.

We were surprised to find a Mexican restaurant in Albania and decided to try it, we were not disappointed! This place offers great service with a wonderfully unique Mediterranean twist on Mexican food. I've eaten Mexican cuisine all over the American south, and southwest.

Excellent quesadilla, veggie taco and salsa. Heavy pour on the pina colada. Would not recommend the burrito. Server spoke English well but was not emotionally prepared for the large quantity of food we ordered. 4/5

We were surprised to find a Mexican restaurant in Albania and decided to try it, we were not disappointed! This place offers great service with a wonderfully unique Mediterranean twist on Mexican food. I've eaten Mexican cuisine all over the American south, and southwest, as well as Mexican grill spin offs, but this is the best Mexican I've ever eaten.

Lovely & authentic decor. Food was very good -- nice selection of mexican beers.

Awesome experience! We stopped by with our 2 chihuahuas 🐕🐕 after a long walk round the grand park. They were super friendly and kind enough to set up a table for us outside. We tried the cheeseburger 🍔 and the pork tacos 🌮. Both were excellent and we will definitely be going back 🌮🍔👍👌

(Translated by Google) One of the worst food restaurants imaginable food that smells like oil fried scandalous sauces they have no idea what mexican cuisine is horrible horrible cancerous (Original) Nje nga restorantet me ushqimin me te keq qe mund te imagjinohet ushqim qe mban era vaj I skuqur salcat skandaloze keta nuk kane idene fare cfare eshte guzhina mexikane tmer tmer kanceroze

Nice place! ;)

Just came here and it started with the music. Perfect! Thank you for the hospitality and I had a margarita. Ate some of the best shrimp tacos.

Nice place. Food can be better

Nice place to eat out for a change. The food was OK but not that special,although it is advertised as Mexican. They could improve the cooking I suppose...

This restaurant was not as I expected. The atmosphere is great but the food and staff not much. My cocktail had very few alcohol in it. I've worked in a bar before and I know if a cocktail has the right amount of alcohol or not. The food porcions were really small for the price. And the waiter was always late, we wanted to order a desert but after waiting 30min for the waiter, we left. Please make sure to check more on the customers.

Feels like a lot of the new restaurants in Tirana are trying to cater to American tourists, this one is a perfect example. It seems like a Mexican restaurant on the outside, looks-wise. But the actual food tastes nothing like Mexican food… not even American Mexican fast food. The quality of the meal seemed like frozen food warmed up. Keep your expectations very low in terms of food quality/taste.

Nothing to do with actual Mexican food, in the US, or Mexico The dish was a hot Ceaser salad No chips and salsa or guacamole and nothing is hot

This place has mixed reviews but I thought it was great. Maybe not the most traditional mexican but the food was really delicious. Anyone who complains about the style of food here is just simply stuck up - don’t listen to them :-) Staff were friendly to us and spoke perfect English. All food was great. Plus they played great classic somber country music. Loved it.

Lately they have been lacking a lot, I have eaten here before, ordered here and they are just fine. I think the only reason they still have clients is because they are the only place people think of when they want Mexican food. I order Santa Fe quite often here and it probably varies on how the chef is feeling because sometimes its really good and sometimes it’s so bad you have to throw it away.

This is the 2nd time we dine in here. The first time was on August of 2023. Both times the good was very good. This time we did got the Burrito with shrimps and cow meat, Quesadilla with chicken meat, Tacos with crunchy chicken meat and the brownie at the end. The food was very very good. Recommended even if you're not a fan of spicy food. The brownie was so so. Take note that these foods are tailored for Albanian tastes and therefore are not that spicy. If you need your food more spicy, you need to tell to the waiter.

This Mexican spot? Total flavor bomb! 🌮🔥 Tacos, enchiladas – legit tasty. If you're into awesome eats, check it out! 👍

Perfect food, amazing music and overall feeling, very friendly staff! 10/10

Very local Mexican Restaurant. Don’t expect high, enjoy with what you have.

It has some tasty dishes. I like the "burek santafe" which comes with sweet and sour sauce. Price range it's 10-15€ per a two course meal.

One of the good places to eat in Tirana!

Nice location, easy to find. Food was greate and moderate expensive. Good service.

Nice dining experience with good quality food

Very nice staff, good food and not expensive either.

Went there over the weekend and multiple people inside waiting for a table and not an employee anywhere to be found. Ended up leaving without trying the food. Maybe try going during the week and hopefully there may be employees in the dining area...

👍👍👍👍👍

The dishes weren't very accurate to the real recipes. The service isn't the best you could expect.

(Translated by Google) Best service in tirana and best food I have eaten in all of tirana !! (Original) Beste service in tirana en lekkerste eten dat ik al gegeten heb in gans tirana!!

The food is really good. we went there 4 times including today's lunch in the past 2 months. why I'm not giving 5 stars? because of today. our server was nice to us until we paid the check. as soon as he finds out we are not giving him Gratuity, he was quite cranky with us. the same server was nice to us last he wait for our table on valentine's day when we tip him. Today he was quite cranky. we are a tourist here and have been told tip is appreciated in Albania not expected. He was that rude to us that we are not sure to eat left ours. 2 hours later we are still thinking about this episode he ruins our day. we will not come back to this restaurant again.

(Translated by Google) When I looked at the price performance window, I was not very satisfied. (Original) Ben fiyat performans penceresinden baktığımda pek de memnun kalmadım.

Holly place 😁

Nice place! The food was really delicious. The place gives you a whole Mexican vibe!🌮🇲🇽

As a Mexican, I loved the taste of this place, it's very affordable, nice looking, well served, fulfilling and the waiters were very polite. As a vegetarian, their vegetarian options were very delicious, it's hard to find this level of food.

The taste of the food doesn't have much to do with Mexican food. This is Albanian kitchen that pretends to be Mexican. The restaurant looks nice though, but therefore the waiters are very slow and it took a very long time until the food came ..anyway, that could be forgiven if the food would have been nice. Wouldn't recommend to anybody that looks for Mexican food.

A cool, unique and fun place, with nice sangria (try it). However the food is not that special, it lacks the amount of spice you'd expect in a Mexican dish, but the sauces definetly make up for the experience. They also take a bit too much time in preparation, but then again, maybe it does take that much. Staff was polite and pleasant. Would come again, although there is room for improvement.

The food was good but the quality of it has decreased comparing it to the old times Serendipity was first opened. The service was awful, the hostess didn’t accompany us to our table or properly guide us. The waiter almost broke two glasses twice and we had to recall her and another waiter to bring the order for our drink because she forgot. The staff can also use ‘Bon apetit’ after they bring the food to the table and share the plates to each person in the table and not leave them in the middle.

Delicious mexican food at the centre of the Tirana city👋👍

The food was not so bad but I was expecting it to be tastier. It even came in small portions and it was a bit overpriced. Also, they could have done a better Mexian-themed decor. I’m not sure if I’ll come back.

Ugliest place I don’t know who made all good review about them ! Veal steak very bad

Wish I could do 4.5 instead of 5 stars. Their food is decent. If people red the menu they would see that they changed the taste to fit the Albanian tastebuds. Would not recommend if you’re looking for real Mexican food but it’s good for a hint of it !

if you like here, probably you had never been in a Real mexican restaurant. The waiters are so mean. Nothing is good about this place. Also the prices are so high for this much bad place

Horrible food. It’s pretty clear that the cooks have no idea what real Mexican food is about. The chimichangas were nothing like a real one. Service took forever. Waiters and waitresses were more interested in picking up plates rather than getting a new customers order. Made my stomach hurt after. All the people who say this place is “authentic and reminds them of home” clearly has never been to a real Mexican restaurant. Never go here.

It's very nice to sit here, and the food was pretty good, but not the most authentic

Absolutely the worst "Mexican" food I've ever had in my life. I thought I'd be safe with nachos, but they don't even have real tortilla chips. This was just like something bagged they got from a supermarket (not even Doritos, which would have been OK) and then added some random toppings. The margaritas were strong but too sugary, so if you order those ask for no sugar if possible. Everyone else's food looked really sad as well.

Just no. This is not Mexican food. This is not "Tex Mex" either. I live in Texas and was craving Mexican food...this was not that. When we told the waiter, he was like yeah it's Tex Mex. No sir, it's not. We had feta in our flautas. Like what? 😅 So ridiculous, just skip this place.

So you gotta understand this is not (and does not claim to be) authentic Mexican food, but rather Mexican-inspired. That said, my friends and I were all satisfied with our meals. There’s plenty of vegetarian options if that’s a concern.. my veggie burrito was pretty tasty!
