Bibis in Glasgow City

The food was very good and very tasty

Whilst shopping in the Partick area, we popped into Bibis for lunch about 12.30, no booking made as we were just passing. Restaurant was very quiet with only 2 other customers in at the time. Went for the lunch menu for £15.95 for two courses. I had çhicken quesadillas, my daughter had jalapeño croquettes, both delicious, these were followed by chicken fajitas and enchiladas, fajitas not sizzling on arrival, however still very tasty and plentiful especially for lunch time.. has an alcohol licence, however opted for soft drinks. Food was great and very reasonable for the price. Would definitely be back and enjoy a Corona with my next meal... 👍

A brilliant Mexican restaurant at the end of the high street in Partick. Stunning food, I would highly recommend the Enchiladas and Shrimp Fajitas. Will 100% be back again.

Always have enjoyed Bibis . Good drinks. Great food. Only small issue was a little longer than usual for the food .normally not an issue for me. We had a wee baby with us this evening 6.15 and he was teetering due to the wait. Like I say top food ,friendly staff so all good. Thanks.

Food was great, service was fast and staff lovely. A great place for a weekend lunch!

Absolutely lobe this wee family run restaurant. It's so dainty and the food is absolutely delicious. They have a good lunch menu too if you're looking for a good deal. I love this Mexican and have been going for years, but it has never failed to impress and the staff are lovely.

Food is amazing. Drinks great. Service is always fast and friendly one of my fav places to eat in Glasgow. Couldn’t recommend enough

Great atmosphere and food is amazing. Will be back.

Our favourite restaurant in Glasgow and by far the best Mexican restaurant around. You won't be disappointed. Small, intimate restaurant and friendly staff.

Arrived 10 minutes early and was greeted with, "we're not ready for you, as we had a party in and need to clear up". We asked if we could take a seat in the corner, but were told no, but that we could sit outside or go along the road to Ga Gas's for a drink. It was raining lightly, so outside was not an option. We also didn't want to go across to Ga GA's, having just driven 40 minutes to get to our booking. The woman made us feel so unwelcome, that we decided to leave and go elsewhere for dinner. We won't return because of our reception.

First time visiting after having it recommended a few times, did not disappoint! Friendly staff and the food was amazing and fresh.

Brilliant atmosphere, food delicious as always, such pleasant service. Complimentary frozen sippers, very nice touch. 💛

Easily the best frozen margaritas in Glasgow, if not Scotland!

Taken consideration to post this but went yesterday and feel I was over charged on the early bird menu, so asked the server and was told no it’s correct it’s went up 10% to what’s printed at the top of the menu…2 course £16.95. Told them yeah totally get that but 10% still didn’t make the bill correct. After going and checking she quickly returned to say it was the correct price for the early bird and that was the end of it. Wasn’t worth the effort trying to explain it all to the server who wasn’t quite getting it to be honest. Food was nice as always, but over charged £10+. Ordered 2 courses from the early bird £16.95 each, extra poppers £6.95, a side of Guac £1.65 - total £42.50 but charged £53.90 …still doesn’t make 10%. Basically from the receipt we’ve been charged two courses individually off the main menu and told the early bird deal was used. Disappointed by the brush off by staff that were nice enough and gave good service at the meal. Has been a regular eatery with great food so disappointed ☹️ by this.

Been twice and the food is excellent. So much better than the chains. Service was great too. Will be back

First time here Lovely cosy place I wasn't familiar with Mexican food but what I had was lovely fajitas with chicken with 4 sides salsa cheese guacamole and sour cream If your feeling adventurous and want to try Mexican food then I would highly recommend 5*

Great wee place. Chicken fajitas lovely. Lime cheesecake yum. Small friendly. Defibately give it a try

Was at Bibis tonight for the first time, the food was amazing and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely return very soon.

Very late lunch - lovely flavourful food - cheerful friendly service - 90 yr old mother’s first margarita….great fun. Bibi’s was buzzing which is always a great recommendation.

great place & great food will be back again

Had a meal with business colleagues mid week. Friendly and quick service by waiting staff. First time I've had Mexican, really nice food. Chicken fajitas with Cajun chips, hot and spicy but very tasty. Small restaurant but lovely people and food.

Such a lovely restaurant, not too many tables and quirky! We were looked after by the beautiful Hollie who we couldn't fault! Food was very tasty! I was looking forward to the Pina Colada Pie for dessert and it did not disappoint! Drinks were great and it wasn't too expensive! Ha e already recommended to friends and family! 👏👏 thanks to all the people involved !

Amazing food and margaritas. Lots of food at a great price

Avoid working here, there's better places around.

We’ve been regulars to Bibi’s pretty much since it opened. Always warm, welcoming and the food delicious. Something has most definitely changed though. We gave it 3 visits just incase we were catching it on a bad night. Problems and confusion booking but more importantly the food is not as good. It is not as good quality as we were used to from Bibi’s. Dishes were simplified versions of ones we knew they used to serve, simple things like fajitas still had the uncooked powdery seasoning on them. The kitchen staff squeezing past tables to get out for a smoke wasn’t great and often you could clearly hear the loud chat from the kitchen. Can’t be easy to keep afloat after such hard times and given the great memories of this place I hope it bounces back to the legend it was.

Atmosphere and service are incredible at Bibi’s. Really lovely place. Unfortunately the food was not quite as good as expected from all the hype we’d heard. It was good, but not brilliant and more tex-mex and less authentic. Still tasted great.

Today my wife was treated by my daughter to a Mothering Sunday meal here. I tagged along for something to do 😆. What a fantastic meal and what value! £20 for 3 courses, absolutely outstanding. All 3 courses were well cooked and well presented. Service was very good and not overpowering. Would have no hesitation in eating here again. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

First time visit and what a wonderful experience it was. Staff were friendly and food was delicious. We went for the three courser which came in at £18.45 before drinks, which we thought was great value. Decor is easy going. One minor gripe was when guests arrived after us they were offered a shot (not sure of what), but we hadn't been offered this. Will definitely visit again.

Used to absolutely love this place. Not any more. Food was terrible. Chef looked filthy. I don’t know if it’s new owners or what but everything that was great about this place has sadly gone, from the nice vibes, friendly service, food which felt quite authentically Mexican. Now just replaced with food that’s on a par with Mexican microwave meals you would get from the supermarket. This is the second time we’ve had this experience here. The first time we decided just to write it off as a bad day, since we used to love it so much, but second time was worse than the first. Sad demise.

We've been to Bibis often over the years. Our most recent visit was really disappointing. We arrived a little early, probably 8 mins or so and we're told they weren't ready for us (the restaurant was half full) and directed to wait outside in the cold. The table we sat at had a view right into the kitchen. The chefs spoke loudly the whole time we were there including a discussion about a bleeding wound that required stitches! Not what you want to hear while eating your meal. Our drinks were warm and the margaritas are not what they used to be. The waitress leaned over our table to light candles on a shelf above us while we were eating our main course. It was very awkward. The waitress and chef had a disagreement about who was passing by the tables in the very small space. Again very awkward right beside our table. The food was bland and far from the flavoursome Mexican tastes we'd experienced at Bibis in the past. No guacamole, tortilla chips or salsa with any courses. Every single plate that arrived had a handful of rocket on the plate as the side. The chicken in the chicken quesadillas was hard to find. The fish tacos had no flavour and the smallest piece of fish in each. It was so disappointing. Unfortunately, we won't be back.

Good food and drinks, although slightly spoiled by the older waitress loudly asking another member of staff to count the cash we paid for the bill. Then proceeded to ask in an even louder tone if we'd like our 5p change back, despite the fact the bill already had a service charge added on. What is it you're looking for, a tip on top of tip?

This restaurant has been a firm favourite of mine for over a decade. I have raved about this place to friends and family, never having anything negative to say about it until now. We had a table booked for last night, on arrival we were notified that they could only accept cash. Our meal had been a Christmas gift so we had vouchers which wasn’t a big deal for us but can see how it might be an issue for some people (nothing on social media to advise cash only). We were seated at our table to our complimentary chips and dip, a nice touch that I have enjoyed on previous occasions with a complementary shot of margarita which I am guessing they no longer offer (cost of living maybe) We waited some 15 minutes before our drinks order being taken, another 5/10mins later our food order was taken at which time we advised no pulled pork and no cheesecake. Another table of two were seated next to us, their food order was taken at the same time and they were served their starters and mains in time with ours despite arriving some 20-30mins after us. The restaurant was busy, it always is but the service has always been great regardless. There was three waiting staff but only one seemed to be waiting the tables, one on drinks and the other I am not sure what they were doing. We struggled to get the staffs attention for another round of drinks, expecting a check back with the starter. Our mains were cleared and we waited for the desert menu, the table next to us were offered but they asked for the bill and left. Next thing my partner was handed the bill, I would have just left saying nothing but when he asked to see desert menu we were rudely advised the table was required back within 1hr 30 as they had back to back bookings. While I appreciate at the time of booking the 1 hr 30 was highlighted however I have never been unable to have three courses at this restaurant within this time frame. Maybe if the service had not been slow my partner and I would have been able to enjoy the three course meal we had planned. I cannot fault the meal, the food has always been great but the service was a major let down. Sad to say I won’t be hurrying back.

Pre booked but it hadn't registered on their system. No problems though when we were warmly welcomed by Polly. Had a lovely lunch and were well looked after. Will definitely be back. Highly recommend. Best wishes from birthday boy Paul, Nicola and Donna

The food is incredible!! Frozen margaritas are very good, lots of choice of flavours. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend! We had drinks, starters, mains and desserts for £40 each. Get the prawn starter if you like prawns. 🍤🌮😍👌🏻 The restaurant is very hot so be mindful to have layers you can take off.

I took my wife for a surprise birthday lunch. We have been before and the restuarant has a good reputation of understanding gluten. When I booked, I mentioned that my wife has coeliac disease. That information didn't seem to have reached the serving staff as we had to ask for the gluten free menu. There wasn't a gluten free menu but the server gave us a list of the items that were (or could be) gluten free Due to previous bad experiences my wife also checks when she orders and when the food arrives that what she is getting is gluten free. She was assured that it was. When I was paying the bill my wife asked the server how they managed to make a gluten free wrap into the shape for the chilli bowl. Oh, it's because it is a wheat wrap was the reply. Not sure what has happened, whether it is ownership or staff. But this is not a establishment that understands what gluten free means. Sadly my wife then suffered the consequences of their ignorance. I did ask for a response from management but they haven't had the courtesy to reply

Lovely food, very helpful and attentive staff, excellent food

Came for dinner, had a really nice meal. Food was great and the plate of nachos was huge! Reasonably priced, good service and nice atmosphere.

Excellent restaurant. Highly recommended.

I went for dinner here having reserved in advance. Between us we had the quesadilla and the cheesy jalapeno croquettes to start and we both went for chicken fajitas for mains. The food was pretty good but not spectacular, and the portions were quite small. This was the worst service I have ever had at a restaurant. I witnessed the front of house accost a gentleman who had sat down at a table, questioning whether he had just walked in and sat down. The gentleman not only had a reservation but he had been directed to that table by another member of staff less than a minute beforehand. We were given the dessert options and left by the front of house to think about the options before making a decision. After waiting at least 15 minutes for her to return to take our order we were presented with the bill, which we hadn't asked for. When we said we were waiting for someone to take our dessert order we were told they needed the table. I'd be surprised if I go back.

Lovely meal, made even better by wonderful friendly staff who were so kind and bubbly! Bibi's has a homely atmosphere which was amplified by the staff who were so happy to help and made you feel at home. We had fish tacos for starter and then the chicken fajitas and pork chimichanga and everything was delicious! We will absolutely be recommending this to friends!

Shame that they were out of so many items so early on a Friday night. The wine was good and starters my favourite of all the dishes.

I had the pleasure to visit the restaurant again this week and was very pleased to see that it still maintained its high standard. The food is always excellent and the staff could not be more welcoming. The range of Mexican food is extensive. It is well cooked and beautifully presented. I cannot recommend this restaurant too highly,

Food was okay but not the taste of Mexico nor value for money. The one person working did her best but seemed out of her depth with her and the kitchen trading verbal blows with each other, making it one of the most awkward experiences ever. Won't be back I'm afraid.

Nice enough but the woman on front of house and the chef argued the entire time we were in which was quite awkward. Food was okay but I definitely think there is better mexicans out there.

Amazing food, quick service and the servers were extremely nice

Soooo... mate booked this place, turned up half drunk and just went with whatever.. the food in here was absolutely delicious.. stuffed peppers, wraps in beef and that cinnamon/spicy ice cream.. we must have had 5/6 drinks each.. 4 of us eating the bill came to 250 bangers..... bunged 70 quid a skull in.. had no idea this wee place existed..its a total gem..

We came in for a quick bite to each. The nachos to begin had an awesome salsa. Service maybe a fraction slow. Food definitely not mexican but some scottish imitation of mexican with tesco great value bright orange cheese over everything which was totally wrong. Good portion sizes tho. Amazing ambience though. Very cosy.

Lovely cosy and warm ambience. Food well presented on hot plates and hearty portions and cooked with fresh produce. Compliments to the chefs. Staff front and lovely and friendly. Looking forward to going back.

Came here for my friend's birthday and it was such a great experience! The hostess was fantastic, looked after us and was great fun! The food was not only delicious, but huge portions as well! Thanks for making our night so excellent!

Myself and 3 friends came for dinner Thurs 31st August. Place was busy and had good atmosphere. Blonde lady wearing denim and red gingham served us .she was lovely and has good banter . Food was nice . Will definitely come again .

Lovely atmosphere and great banter from the lovely blonde lady that served me and my 3 friends.

Great little bistro serving up some tasty Mexican fayre! Staff we friendly too.

Guacamole is soo good! Really reasonably priced and service always feels personal.

Food was delicious and deserts were amazing great value for money and the team of girls serving amazing

Cosy little place with excellent service and food.

Love Bibis. Don't go often enough. Great staff and atmosphere.

Had a lovely lunch here with friends for my birthday. The chef catered for our dietary requirements and the lady (Polly) who served us was lovely. A big tasty starter of battered cauliflower meant I couldn't finish my fish tacos which, as always, were fab. Complementary margaritas were delicious and much appreciated. Always a pleasure to eat at this wee gem in the west end

We used to come to this restaurant all the time and loved it however the past 2 times we have been we have been told cash only without being told at the time of booking and had to leave, we live on the other side of the city and wasted time on travel,if you expect your clientele to pay cash, tell them beforehand, we won’t be back

Went in for lunch on Saturday with a couple of friends. The set menu was great, all the food made so fresh. The staff were in great spirits and we had a real laugh with our waitress which made the lunch really enjoyable. This is a great little spot in partick and I would recommend it highly if your looking for something a little different instead of the norm

So very sad to see the decline in this Restaurant !!! I used to go on a regular basis but since moving out of the city I haven’t been for some time and was very excited to return . I very rarely negatively review but this was just particularly terrible . I had booked online and was informed by email that we had the table until 2030 from the get go it was very apparent that The waitress was clearly not interested and it became apparent that we were expected to eat and leave as soon as possible . The food was not very nice at all and the dessert was served on hot plates , when we asked for coffee we were informed that there was no milk ! Everything was extremely sloppy and was more like a fast food restaurant and the atmosphere was not comfortable at all . The final straw was when a couple arrived and the waitress told them loudly in front of us that this was there table and we would be going in two minutes !! This was at 1955 , we had expected to have the table for another 30 mins . Overall the experience was very unpleasant and I am sorry to say I will not be returning or recommended Bibis to anyone … very sad indeed .

We travelled from Donegal Ireland to Glasgow for Daughter Molly's 18th. Just arrived and went straight with my family to Bibis for dinner. There were 13 of us Wilhare clan. A few others missing as saving themselves for the big 18th celebrations on Friday night. Staff members Elizabeth and Maisie were amazing, So attentive and patient to the large table of requests. Compliments also to the chef. The food was delicious. My sister Bridie booked it so many thanks as it was a perfect choice, particularly as my son Danny turned 30 also that week and he loves Mexican food. The staff made the celebrations a total success. Thank you for your kindness to us all. Great experience. Marion Wilhare Doogan (Ireland).

Tasty food, attentive friendly staff, and a lovely atmosphere. We'll worth a visit

Excellent food. Brilliant example of good Mexican food. Great service and nice atmosphere.

Cute restaurant but inauthentic food.

Sat outside with coffee in the SUN & that made it a wee bit nicer . Good shop .

Phenomenal food and amazing service!

Always great and delighted we managed to get a table.

This was one of the most awful places I have eaten at. The main reason was the attitude and sheer rudeness of the older waitress which made us all feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. When asking nicely to clarify certain things in the menu we were spoken to like idiots and there is only so much sarcasm you can take from a person. Also when ordering certain things from the menu it almost felt as if she wanted me to change my mind and made what I wanted sound disgusting. I have never been spoken to in such a rude way constantly by a waitress ever and even when clearing up the tables she was so disrespectful when asking me to hand her the plates. To top it off the food was rubbish too. The cheese croquettes were just mashed potato in breadcrumbs and the fajitas came luke warm and tasteless. Drinks were warm and we had to ask for ice several times to cool them down. We will never be returning to this place, mainly because of the attitude and disrespect shown to paying customers by this older waitress.

No doubt the best Mexican restaurant in Glasgow. Cosy place with themed decor and a tempting selection of frozen margaritas. Food and service were excellent, stuffed jalapeño peppers and steak Fajitas cooked to perfection. Would highly recommend booking.

Amazing food, quick service, attentive to requests.

Booked v last minute for a late dinner and the staff were really great about it. Chef had turned everything off just before we arrived but made no fuss at all about us coming in and the food that arrived was absolutely spectacular. Meatball soup, fish tacos for me, jalapeno rellenos and Coca-Cola beef tacos for my partner with a couple of margaritas. Could have eaten it all day. The service staff were really great, welcoming and helpful. Couldn't have done more for us. Love this place.

Really bland tasteless food. Didn’t taste like Mexican at all. Starter quesadillas pale undercooked tortillas with melted cheese and jalapeños, no salsa no guacamole, but weirdly had rocket. cheese and jalapeño croquettes, tasted weird and sweet. Fish tacos bland and tasteless. Quesadillas bland plain rice, no spice in enchiladas at all, tasted like canteen food or a ready meal. Worst Mexican I have been to, could have made better food myself. Also the chef constantly going outside the window to smoke and walking back and forward through the restaurant is very off putting. They really need to up their game if they want to compete with the many delicious restaurants in Partick. Wouldn’t go back.

Fantastic authentic Mexican food and only a short journey out of the city centre. Well worth a visit.

Based on previous reviews, we were really looking forward to visiting. Unfortunately we were really dissapointed. Food and margaritas were very bland, even served served completely undercooked chips. The service wasn't great either, and very loud inappropriate conversations were had by staff right by customers. The place itself is very cute, just really wish the food and service was significantly better. Really surprised by the positive reviews!

Looks like a little mexican cantina. Even the decor in the bathroom is special. Glassware and all felt authentic. Food was ok too. I would go again, try different menu items.

Not enjoyable -Booked a table for 6.15pm for a birthday celebration for our daughter. Received email confirmation for that time stating we would be required to give up the table at 8.15pm. This we understood as we had booked an early sitting. Arrived at 6pm ahead of our daughter but table was ready and we were seated. Daughter arrived promptly at 6.15pm. Didn't order starters as we were looking forward to a main course and dessert. Service was slow but we didn't mind as we were catching up with our student daughter.At 7.20pm, just as we were finishing our mains, the woman managing the tables approached our table asking "When did it say you had the table til as I will need it back?" Unusual style of management I thought, and showed her the email confirming til 8.15pm as our allocated time. She managed the situation badly from that point onwards and instead of saying relax and enjoy the rest of your meal, she showed us her "system" which required the table back at 7.45pm.If service was efficient, we would have been able to enjoy desserts and be finished by then anyway. Daughter did choose a dessert and we were indeed finished by 7.45pm. However, the meal was spoiled by mismanagement of the situation. We won't be back because of this. We left and moved down the road to another restaurant where husband and I enjoyed desserts and we all had coffees in a much more relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

What a lovely evening, the staff were excellent, so friendly and attentive, the food was also lovely. The restaurant was buzzing so the atmosphere was fab - tequila shots were a wee treat😄

Thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here today. The food was delicious, the service was lovely and the general surroundings and experience was homely with a touch of retro rustic. We will be back again.

Really tasty food, lovely service - we will be back!

Just had a fantastic meal! Great food and the staff were so nice. What a wonderful experience in a buzzy place!

Lovely wee compact and cosy restaurant. Delicious food and service was amazing, staff very friendly. Good prices

Great food and good service. Fish tacos were amazing along with the frozen margaritas and lime cheese cake. Can’t wait to go back!

Psuedo Mexican and tex mex menu. Tasty food. No real ales

Atmosphere shocking. Staff shocking. Food Shocking. Can’t really say anymore. This placed used to be very very good I’ll never be back. We were sat next to the kitchen and heard the words “let’s pummel this f@&king sh!t out I want away early”. Lovely

Friendly cosy and really good food.

Posting this review and star due to a very unhappy dinner at bibis. I had a table of 17 booked for the 4th of March. i made sure to give plenty of time for the reservation and its was made on the 17th of February. I was made aware that there would be a table of 12 and a table of 5 which I can understand as its a small resteraunt. unfortunately on the 4th I was made aware 2 couples couldn't make it and called and made the resteraunt aware with plenty of time that it would now be a table of 13. I was fully expecting a full table for the 13 as they said there would be a large table anyway. Entered on the 4th and found that there was no large table and in fact hadn't even bothered to attempt to make sure we would all sit together. we were spilt between 2 tables back to back, we made staff aware that this is not what we were expecting and were unhappy about it. Staff gave us an apology blamed there "new booking system" and done literally nothing else to rectify the situation. Was extremly dissatisfied with this as it was for a couples birthday. The only saving grace is the food was extremely good but if your looking for a large booking I'd advise some where else.

Great little restaurant, first time there. Spicy Tomato Soup and Beef Chilli Burrito were very tasty. A hearty lunch. Definitely one to visit again.
