    We have been coming here for 12 years and we have always loved it. We are from Texas and need our fix of Mexican Food and they have the best in BCN. We have tried others and are always disappointed so El Mexicano is the winner by far. They handmake their great margaritas. Our favorites are the cochinita pibil tacos and enchiladas suizas but everything is great.

    The food was ok but nothing extraordinary. We ordered tacos and they didn’t have any vegetables in them. It wasn’t bad, but nothing extraordinary or remarcable.

    Tacos in Mexico, China and here they are served with raw onion and coriandre. Exactly the way you get them from us. If you get anywhere else another kind on vegetables, those are not mexican tacos.

    The food was good and tasty, but it was actually more a european flavor, and didnt has the real mexican taste. The Margaritas are good and super strong :D

    Gracias por su reseña. Tal vez no encontró el sabor mexicano porque pidió Enchiladas vegeterianas, y el sabor de las verduras pues es el mismo en México que en Europa. Pero de nuevo, gracias por sus comentarios.

    Decent food but nothing to write home about. The prices are pretty fair with the discounts, two of us ate for 30 euros splitting a first and each having a main course (with water and a beer). The service was adécuate and the place a nice quaint little restaurant. The food was a bit plain in the way that it mainly consisted of rice, beans and meat (so topical Mexican !) if you are looking for very much traditional Mexican food this might be your spot!

    The food was not great, I ordered some of the special items and was just another taco and I really didn't wanted tacos. The price is big compared to the portion you get. For 2 small beers, 2 portions of tacos and one dessert we paid 34 euro. I was very disappointed :( cause it had good reviews on TripAdvisor and nice photos.

    It was good but even with the discount it ends up being really expensive (20 euro p/p) which is what you would expect to pay in a much fancier restaurant without having a discount.
