I found this place on google maps while I was on holiday in Bournemouth. I saw this place has 5 stars even though it has over 100+ reviews. So I thought it must be good. We went here for late breakfast before we go to the beach. Ordered tacos with pork and enchiladas with chicken. You could pick meat for tacos and spiciness for both dishes. The place was smaller than I thought but it is really nice little hidden gem in Bournemouth! He suggested home made drink so we got a hibiscus and tamarind tea. It was cute because he took these drinks out from the fridge which just looked like you can find someone's own kitchen🤣 The vibe of this place is like you are invited to friendly Mexican friend's house. We sat outside and he brought food to us. OMG... definitely the BEST TACO I've ever had! It was simple taco with some veggies and meat but wow... Meat were so juicy and tender with full of flavor! After I had one bite, I was like this is amazing!!! And I said to my boyfriend as I joke that I wanted to take him to our town and make him open the shop so I can go every day🤣🤣 But yeah, tacos were super good, and so was enchiladas. Nice cheesy flavor with yummy chicken! That day, I talked about tacos all day and I eventually wenr back there the next day before I go to the station to try some other menus🤣🤣 He recommended us Cuban sandwiches, which apparently is one of the most popular menus. We brought them all the way to London and had as a dinner. Even if it was few hours after we got, they were very very tasty with nice tender slow cooked pork with ham and cheese. We really enjoyed it and now while I am writing this, I wish I could have tacos from there right now🥲🥲🤣 I will 200 percent go back there when I go back to Bournemouth and I will go over and over again whenever I go to Bournemouth. Every one should try his food! He is an amazing cook and also very friendly and nice☺️☺️ thank you so so so much for amazing food!

Fantastic experience at GourMex. Cannot emphasize enough how delicious the food is and the guy is lovely. Try some of the drinks, too! We had the rice water (i.e. horchata), rice water with berries (daily special), fresh orange juice and another special. Note: this isn't TexMex, it's delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine.

This place is a must-try for those visiting Bournemouth. The food in this hole-in-a-wall is exceptional, and authentically prepared by a friendly man. Everything we ordered was excellent, but I would recommend the carnitas, which was seasoned beautifully.

This place was super cute and the cook was very nice. The chicken enchiladas are AMAZING! Very top notch, absolutely happy about the food, the shops aesthetic and the overall experience. Great Mexican food. Highly recommend :)

Walked past and had a whiff of something familiar and exciting. Had to make sure we try something even after lunch. Ended up trying what we could and wish we had more. Tio F sent me down memory lane... like how my dad used to cook. We had Tostada, Beef Tacos and finally the Cuban Sandwich - and boy we're glad we had it here for the first time. The pork is so aromatic and tender. The beef tacos were like nothing we've had before, just amazing. Tostada with Chicken - eat fresh, so so good. Can't wait to go back.

Very delicious Mexican food! I tried few different dishes and I always found it very tasty! A bit too spicy for me, even if I asked to have it very mild, but in general I definitely recommend this place for a taste of Mexican specialities ! 🇲🇽

This place is as authentic as Mexican food can go. Run by the owner, his attention to quality is refreshing to see. Defently must go and try, promise you won't be disappointed!!

Easily the best place to get lunch in Bournemouth. Authentic Mexican. The Cuban Sandwich is legendary. How this guy isn't packed out everyday just shows how underrated he is. Definitely go here when you can!

Loved everything about this place!!! o chefe was friendly, we enjoyed the conversation (easily could have stayed, talked and ate more), food was really good and carefully made ❤️ We had the chicken enchiladas and chicken quesadilla, then had some beef tacos. This would be a regular if I lived near

Finally, popped in on Friday and picked up some tacos and a tostada for lunch! It was delicious, didn't disappoint at all! Will be going back to try more things.

The food here was absolutely incredible. I got a variety of things (chicken, beef and pork tacos, chicken quesadilla and pork sandwich) because I’d heard good things and couldn’t decide on what to go for. Francisco was so welcoming and friendly and had so much information to share about authentic Mexican cuisine. I can’t fault any of the food we chose, it was all delicious and was easily the best Mexican food I’ve had in the UK. Francisco also had some homemade drinks with mixed berries and rice water which were so flavourful and is more than happy to make the food to your taste. It’s now the only place I’ll go for Mexican in town!

Fantastic authentic Mexican place. Incredible food that rivals anywhere I've been. A wide selection to try from and they even make their own drinks! Definitely recommend and will be going again.

The Cuban Sandwich is 5* Purposely located this little place on our recent trip to Bournemouth after reading all the great reviews. The owner was friendly and informative. He let my daughter and I try his homemade juices, the hibiscus, is delicious. Will definitely come back when we visit again.

Had the pork tacos and Cuban sandwich which were both amazing!

Gorgeous food, super friendly guy; we had the carnitas and chicken tacos and they were the out of this world, definitely the best Mexican food in the Uk. Allergies are handled really well here and you can watch him make your food. 10/10 would recommend

Unbelievable Mexican cuisine, Francisco the owner makes all of the food fresh, which you can watch him cook, the portion sizes are generous and completely authentic! His selection of home made chilli sauces are incredibly tasty too! The home made fruit juices are so refreshing too. Best Mexican in Bournemouth, easy.

Visited for the first time today and had the nicest afternoon! Best tacos I’ve ever had and such good conversations! It was a rainy day in Bournemouth but Casa GourMex made me feel like I was on holiday for the afternoon which is always a plus!! Will definitely be recommending to everyone I know!! Thanks so much! :)

Amazing food, great service. Would highly recommend the carnita tacos in particular! For my partner who’s gluten free it was the perfect place.

Me and my fiancé come here as regularly as we can and honestly, you will NOT be disappointed!! My absolute favourite place to eat. The food is fresh and so tasty, authentic and absolutely perfect in every way! We always have a lovely conversation with the chef too, he is a wonderful person and is always welcoming. Never dismiss this place, you'll leave wanting more!

We stopped by for a Saturday morning breakfast/brunch. Francisco helped us choose a Vegetable quesadilla, mixed Tacos, and Hibiscus Ice tea. The food was delicious and great to get to know Francisco while he made our food fresh. We will definitely be coming back!

Excellent lunch! Tacos, Cuban sandwich, enchiladas, and Francisco even made a little baby quesadilla for us :-) The restaurant is small but very welcoming and friendly. Would definitely return!

Being a lover of Latin food, walking by this place and the smell catching my nose was wonderful. I was greeted by a lovely guy who made my tostada right in front of my eyes and gave instructions on how to best eat it. Great service. But the foood, it was amazing! So good, can’t rate it enough *chefs kiss*

The food was splendid, Best mex food in town. We had an orchata, tacos, enchiladas, pozole and a burrito

Absolutely fantastic discovery whilst in Bournemouth. Real authentic Mexican food. The ingredients were so fresh! We wanted more but where full. Fransisco is a great guy!

Incredible, authentic Mexican food. Owner is warm and friendly, makes you feel at home. Highly recommend to anyone looking for food in Bournemouth!

So delicious, Francisco really knows how to represent Mexico 👍🏼👍🏼
