Wow wow wow! Was so excited for Mexican kitchen to reopen as a restaurant that I could eat in.Regulars pre lockdown the wholePlace has been completely returbishedTo be bigger and better! Before the tables were uniform and it sometimes felt cramped!Now it is Mexican shabby chic with little nocks and crannys, totally chilled ambience.Both food and drink menus have expanded, we struggled to choose as so many good selections (veggie options were really good as well!)Toilets refurbished to be in theme with the restaurant.Can’t wait till UK lockdown restrictions lift and we can visit the tequila and margaritas bar as well as restaurant.Book in advanced to avoid disappointment, take out is always good as well but the ambience of isn’t the same.Rachel, Cesar and the team Are doing a fab job and use locally Sourced suppliers another reason to support local Businesses!

First time using Mexican Kitchen, but won't be the last!.Had meal tonight and it was superb. We tried enchiladas, tacos, quesadillas and nachos, and all were fantastic. In particular, the pork in my spicy enchilada was out of this world. Spicing was perfect.....few in my family do not like spice, and the mild level was perfect.... through to my son and I who went for hot and was perfect blend of heat and fresh taste. Had churros for afters and they were also superb. All in all my new fave food place in wickford area, and will be using again!

Really enjoyed the food here! The chicken tortillas are particularly good and you get to create them yourselves (i.e. it comes deconstructed). The service was very good and we would definitely return in the future.

We ordered a take away version of our normal favourite during lockdown for a family birthday. We ordered chicken quesadillas and nachos all round! Both were delicious! The nachos were crisp and the food tasted really fresh. The packaging of the take away was also good, the restaurant uses insulated tinfoil style coverings which keep the food hot and fresh tasting.We also ordered cocktails, we ordered the 'cherry kiss' which was a cherry/tequila mix and the frozen Margherita. Both cocktails were very strong and very nice! Because we ordered take away, they came in polystyrene cups which ruined the magic slightly and made the cocktails feel too expensive (4 cocktails came to around £30) for what they are. In a tall glass with ice however, we would definitely order the cocktails again. In conclusion, we absolutely recommend this restaurant but it is on the pricey side so we'll save it for special occasions!

This should really be a one star review as we feel uncomfortably full now! Lol! Hahaha! Seriously, outstanding! The cocktails are VERY yummy, definitely recommend the Cherry Kiss, Tequila Mojito and the Mexican Painkiller. Food wise, absolutely gorgeous, authentic, Mexican cuisine. Caesar, Rachel and all the staff are brilliant, Caesar manning the kitchen on his own and even bringing dishes out to tables and serving up take aways too! All the staff are attentive and everyone is made to feel at home. Honestly cannot fault the service, drinks and food. Second time we’ve been and being only five minutes away will definitely be back for more sit in meals and take aways too! Thank you so much!

If you are a fan of Mexican food like burritos nachos etc then this is the place to go! The food tastes great. We had the nachos to share between two of us to start with the beef chili on which was good. We knew we were onto something when we tried that. We both went for burritos for the main, I had the chicken, pork and Mexican chorizo in the large burrito. It was very very tasty. You found as you chewed the food other flavours came through. It was without a doubt the best Mexican food I have ever had. I have eaten at a few different places some chain and some more independent that claim to be great but this place really was good. When you read the menu it even says we are big on flavour not just spicy food. This is a great concept as you get to have the tasty food as spicy as you want and enjoy all the flavours. We both had a medium spice which I found was less spicy than a medium nandos if you have had that before. Honestly if you are thinking of going stop thinking and get going.The service was good we were left alone and also attended to as much as we needed. The staff were not overbearing trying to constantly sell you more food or alcohol. The churros were lovely and crisp on the outside and fluffy in the middle. They were not greasy either and the chocolate and chilli dipping sauce wasn't bitter as sometimes it can be it was just right. The lime cheesecake is a really refreshing dish as well and I found it felt like it cleansed the pallette.I tried a jarrito which is a Mexican fruit flavoured fizzy drink. The mango one I tried was lovely.I cannot believe I haven't found this place sooner and do feel I will be going here again in the near future.They do have a gluten free option on the main course on the menu as well for anyone that has that dietary need which someone in my close family does so it will be another place they can eat.

Regular customers, the food took over an hour to arrive then the starter was not correct, a long wait then for the mains which also were wrong, so one person in our group had to eat when we had all finished! The bill was also wrong with extra cocktails added which we didn’t have. The owner locked our two wife’s on the restaurant hostage until we called the police! Would never recommend eating here

No real Mexican vibe at all to this restaurant - even the white tin dishes with the blue trim are not great, extremely small portions for the sharing starters, nacho's were burnt with a teaspoon of salsa and then for the extra guacamole about a tablespoon !

Attended here before a show in Southend, booked given us plenty of time to be served. We were then served by a boy who looked about 11-12years old, he only took our drinks order and got that wrong. Then our food order he only managed to take our starter order. Gladfully a waitress turned up so we could place our mains order. This then took about 45mins gor starter, the a further 30 for our mains. Hardly anyone in the restaurant as mid week. So in all for a quick eat turned out being late for our show as it took 3 hours for 2 cocktails and food. Everytime we come here they mess our order up. This time also we paid and the little boy said do want your change... Making us feel very uncomfortable. I'm pretty sure there's better food elsewhere for us not to keep going through the awkward service and promoting of wrong orders. Food was delicious a year back but has changed a lot since we first went. A real shame.

I have spent sometime in Mexico, and must admit did feel authentic. Food is fresh, homemade, filling. Seating is basic, which does feel right, however my butt would prefer a cushioned seat. Clean, warm even on a cold day due to the close location of the kitchen. Service was very good, friendly, personable. Menu is very flexible. There is a separate bar area for pre-dinner or after dinner drinks. Not a full bar but Mexican beer and cocktails. The cocktails are to be recommended, good strength, not watered down with excessive ice.

Il went to this restaurant last night for the first time to celebrate my friend Christines 37th birthday with her mum and dad, who are also great friends. I was so impressed. The restaurant is "intimate" ie small but there is also a seperate bar area. The food was excellent and I would particularly recommend the Enchiladas. The food is all cooked by one of the owners, Cesare and you can watch him cooking. There is a decent selection of drinks although no draught beer. The service was impeccable and I would particularly like to thank Rachel who was so helpful and attentive. Everything was reasonably priced but not to the detriment of the quality of food or service. We all love Mexican food and this was as good as it gets. Much as I admire Thomasina Myers and what she has done with the Wahaca chain this was much better in every respect and it is almost on our doorstep. I shall certainly go back.

I have been there 5 times and it is always closed. 3 times arrived and the doors were open and as we went in the staff said they were closed. 1 time was just plain closed. The 5th and final time we thought we’d call ahead and the lady on the phone said they were open from 1230 until 4pm; we arrived at 1250, doors were open, waitress was sat at table, as we went in she said “sorry we’re closed”, we said we had called ahead and she said “we might be open at 1:30”.

We ordered our food and it was fine, the service was good as well up till paying. We asked to pay and gave them the Dine card and they said they didn’t accept it, despite me checking with them on the phone. So this was very cheeky. I have a response from Dine card saying they should have taken it so I feel like we were very much mislead and we won’t be coming back.

Our first time at this family-run restaurant. It looks like a huge risk ... a fairly niche menu, in an out-of-town position, but it works so well. All the food is prepared and cooked by the affable Mexican husband, with the Maitre de duties falling to his lovely wife. Even their young son is involved, leading those among us that were relative Mexican virgins, through the choices with great aplomb. The menu is fairly simple, with a choice of wraps, and a great selection of fillings. The dishes can then be “jazzed-up” to your favoured strength, with a range of salsa sauces. Great selection of cocktails, and tequilas (my new favourite drink is a honey-flavoured Tequila). We had more than enough to eat and drink, for around £35 a head. Highly recommended, and well-deserving of its lofty ranking!!

After reading the reviews and seeing the awards, I thought i’d check it out for my birthday with my mates and family. I had a slight problem...my 84 year old nan don’t like spice. But Caesar and Rachel were so attentive, and my nan loved it. If you can impress an OAP who’s into her traditional non spicy British food with your Mexican - you must be good. I thought it was spot on and so did my fellow guests. I can thoroughly recommend the sharing platter as a way of trying all the different things on the menu. I shared a chicken burrito, pork quesadilla, beef nachos, and fish tacos - and all of it was spot on. And can thoroughly recommend The Cucaracha coffee cocktail - was the nuts. We had all the different desserts and they were all extra tasty - all homemade. Hats off to Caesar and Rachel - massive thanks!

Food was ok - service slow though, despite only 3 tables with customers. Menu was very confusing and was only explained when we asked the waitress. Also thought it was quite expensive for what it was.

Lovely family run restaurant. Small and quaint with tasty food and really good vegetarian options. You can choose mild, medium or spicy. Really enjoyed my cactus burrito. 1 starter, 2 mains, 2 cocktails for £40. Recommended.

Just had a delicious, fresh and really tasty meal with excellent service. Will be coming back in a taxi to try the Cocktails that look amazing! The homemade chocolate and chilli tart and tequila and lime cheesecake were to die for.

We have driven past many times, tonight we thought we would give the Mexican Kitchen a try... and was not disappointed! After eating here, you will not want to eat at a chain Mexican restaurant again!

This is a real hidden gem, the food is extremely reasonable and so tasty. The staff are so polite and attentive. We have frequently dining here and I would definitely recommend it.

I visited Mexican Kitchen last night with my husband and his friend and was delighted to finally discover an independent Mexican restaurant close to Chelmsford. We were greeted warmly by staff into a cozy but relaxed dining room which has a smaller room adjoining it (great for small parties).

Food was average, to be honest a bit bland for our taste, the atmosphere was nice but we was too close to bar and was very award for us. The service was average with staff shouting at each other across the dining area.

This is a lovely little restaurant that has no more than about 9 small tables making it intimate and not too loud. Although it was very busy on the night, the atmosphere was great.

I was very happy both with the quality of the food, the service offered and the price of Mexican Kitchen. I would totally recommend giving this a try with some great options for vegans such as myself.

Drive past this place all the time so thought I'd finally give it a go, I was not disappointed. I feel as though the way the staff are and the way you are welcomed into a place is as important as the food.

Chunkys Burgerslocation-iconThe Swan Pub 35 The BroadwayAmerican

We ordered from the Canvey store for delivery and the quality / taste of the food was amazing! Reminded me of 5 guys. It was a little pricey though! We ordered 3 small burgers and 1 portion of regular chips (no drinks) and it was over £30 ! Other than that I defo recommend!

TGI Friday's - Basildonlocation-iconPipps Hill SouthAmerican

Cannot believe how far this restaurant chain has fallen. We booked online for my daughters birthday. Service was so so, our first waitress (Sophie) was pleasant but when we asked for extra napkins or wipes never returned. The menu now is very limiting. Our meal didn't start well when 4 out of 5 received our starters but they forgot my son's. The main's came out as soon as starter plates were cleared and they even forgot my daughter's fries with her main. The food was below average, old when it arrived at the table, pasteurised ribs, over cooked corn on the cob, cold fries, pasteurised chicken fajitas were nasty, not as we remembered. Cocktails were alright, although the Mojito's were OK not the best. Shame the British public thinks this is acceptable! Was not cheap either £240 for 5 of us.

Db Shacklocation-iconThe Castlemayne The Knares In The Back Bar, Basildon SS16 5RZ EnglandAmerican

We went yesterday (Sunday) as had a lucky Sunday with no kids so thought we would have dinner out and always wanted to give dB Shack a try. We ordered two 'The Pig one' burgers with some tater tots each, food come quickly and was amazing some real good flavours on the burgers well worth the trip and will go again.
