Mexicano Food Box Ltd in Preston

Like some previous reviewers have stated avoid as yes a fried rat was found, cockroaches and dirty appliances. They may have taken steps to improve but I wouldn't risk it.

I was hoping to get a lovely fresh portion of deep fried RAT…but it would appear the health inspectors have ruined it for everyone and made them clean the kitchen. Spoil sports.

After reading what iv just read in the internet I would avoid this place like the plague. Inspectors found a deep fried rat and contaminated food, dirty food storage and fridges. If you don't mind food poisoning then this is the place for you, the people couldn't run a bath never mind a takeaway

Inside Mexicano Food Box in September An uncontrolled cockroach infestation and the discovery of a rat were just two of the reasons a New Hall Lane takeaway was forced to close temporarily. Officers from Preston City Council’s Environmental Health Services team carried out an inspection at Mexicano Food Box that led to the business agreeing to close to implement a deep clean – and handle the cockroach infestation. The business was ordered to implement a number of improvements while closed including the elimination of the cockroaches, a thorough clean of the premises, replacing the chopping boards which could not be properly disinfected, providing soap to staff, give staff formal food hygiene training, and use posters which make it clear to staff and customers of a cross-contamination risk for those with allergies. A number of improvements were also recommended to Mexicano Food Box which are not mandatory to meet legal requirements, including a stock control system, sauces being stored in the fridge, old equipment removed and extra hygiene practices related to the cockroach activity. It is understood the business has been removed from Deliveroo, JustEat and UberEats as a result of their hygiene rating in line with the policies of those apps. Blog Preston was unable to reach Mexicano Food Box for a comment but Preston City Council were able to confirm that standards had improved to a mimimum legal level upon a revisit. The New Hall Lane business, which describes itself as ‘one of the finest takeaways in town’, serves pizzas, burgers, wraps, kebabs and more standard takeaway fare. They were able to improve standards to at least a minimum legal threshold to continue operating after their temporary closure, Blog Preston understands.

Food arrived cold and the pizza was missing the mushrooms and the onions

Avoid.. Honestly for your own sake.. Absolutely Terrible.. I should have stayed away.. Place is an abomination.. Absolute Filth Box.. Serving absolute slop and gruel.. I ordered a Plain Grilled Chicken Burger.. The Chicken was off, they covered it in some stupid sauce to try to mask the smell/taste.. Needless to say I took it straight back and demanded my money back.. The Guy was trying to explain how "it's how they do it".. "yes with rotten chicken obviously", just give me my money back, I said... By far one of the worst things I have experienced.. I am reporting this establishment to Trading Standards.. Hopefully they will close the Filth Box down.. Try at your own risk...

Do not order from here!!!! The food came over an hour and 30 minutes late and I had ordered a beef burrito and it was just a burrito with lots of rice and 2 small pieces of beef. The rice was not even jamaican bean rice as stated in the menu. Absolutely disappointing. Never ordering from here again.

there was food missing from my order

Worst experience here👎👎👎Never recommended 👎

Missing cheese of the tuna wrap chips are hard aswell

Honestly, if I could give zero stars I’d happily do so. The worst pizza ever, I’d have been better getting a frozen pizza from the supermarket. The dough under the topping was completely raw, almost translucent as well as the underneath. By far the most anemic pizza I’ve had the displeasure of. I got the cheese and tomato, but they couldn’t even get this right. One bite taken and thrown in the bin. Absolutely disgusting and a waste of money. Horrible

Chips are lovely when hot. Steak burger should have a bit more steak. Didn’t receive can of pop with order.

I usually don't leave reviews but I didn't have such good take away for a long time. It was lovely. Just chicken in ceasar salad was bit too dry but the rest was spot on.

Absolutely disgusting food, dripping with fat was my donner wrap, took 2hours to come rude staff when I rang up after a hour and a half to see where my food was

So absolutely delicious. Every thing we have tried, the lamb Donner and rice, wow

Food was great, Excellent Service

Food was lovely especially the burrito the rice is amazing tastes Jamaican

Great food but very disappointed that they have started charging an extra £5 for delivery now that why I stopped buying take a ways in this area as it gets to expensive

horrible food got a pasta too spice misses got a Burito didn't like it one bit 1 bite went in the bin.

Best burger I have had for years top service and a very fair price I will definitely order again thanks

very fresh food. I will be ordering again

Rang up to say there was a problem with the app and I would have to pay an extra £3 for delivery. The food was Very spicy so I didn't get to eat more than a couple of fork fulls.

Bad service don't not use food never came after 2 hours

Nice pizza and Indian style noodles

Food arrived late. Order was wrong, absolutely terrible.

I ordered my food at 12:45 and got it delivered at 02:15 .and by then break time was over and I couldn't eat. Can you imagine guys

Ordered my food at half past 6 for it to come at 7:25/7:45 rang at 7:50 and was told it was 5 minutes away. Food came 15 minutes after that, gave the wrong drink without informing us and the food is cold 👏🏼 not impressed

Food that turned up was nice. Instead of being told that some food was unavailable (or given replacement food) they simply dropped off 2/3 of our order and a cash refund for the rest. Can't eat cash. Frustrating.

Everyone who working in this takeaway they I think don't understand English. Service is really bad just wasted money for food what u didn't expect

Great food with large portion.all time favorite is chicken Tikka rice

Fast and friendly service, food always comes fresh and hot. drivers always helpful and polite and the food is really good I order a lot and I have never been disappointed :)

the service is so unacceptable from the staff the thing is the food is good but when u dont receive something or something is wrong its like speak no English its a joke wont be ordering again aslo was charged or somthing u dint get and they said i dint order the item wouldn't recommend this takaway

Won't be ordering again! I ordered the chicken noodles with sweet chilli sauce and couple of hours later I was being sick and having bowel movements, to put it politely. Would not recommend! Think it was old chicken or maybe chicken that had been reheated!

Brilliant food every time I've ordered. Am never disappointed about anything I buy from here. An brilliant staff as always.

First order here The food was absolutely excellent can’t complain . Top-nosh keep the good work 👌

Ordered crispy shrimp noodles. The shrimp were TINY. Even the smart price asda prawns are bigger. And even then hardly any shrimp in my noodles. All I had was sweet overboiled noodles drowned in sauce. Really disappointed

Just had what was supposedly "noodles", 99% sure it was tarted up tinned spaghetti, not pleasant. Food just warm. If we hadn't had the jalapeño bites too, it would have rated 1 star. Also, didn't want a drink or extra sauce but wouldn't let me order without them!

The gentleman made a mistake in my order but then made the correct order as well. Really appreciate such hospitality. My 5 stars for that attitude and behavior itself. And, I would give another 5 for the food. Was like comfort food. Definitely recommend and looking forward to ordering here again.

After making a mistake with my order I spoke to their manager who was very helpful and changed the pizza order for me. Thank you for your help & the food was amazing!

Wow the food was amazing really friendly staff food 10/10 defo going back

Very good food. Chicken shawarma with Turkish bread was fantastic 👌

NEVER GO HERE! I ordered chicken sharma kebab with sauce and pizza meal deal. The kebab had no sauce and cold and I had no pizza meal deal! Tried to ring no answer! 14 pound for a cold kebab

There chips with peri peri sauce on is just delicious regular customer good value for money too 💯food always piping hot 🥵 great customer service

Food ok, just don't expect authentic Mexican...

Beautiful food, really fresh and tasty.

Excellent food and service 😋 would definitely recommend 👌

Great mexican burrito , great noodles prawn . ULLALALALA ^.^

Great food and amazing customer service, would recommend.

Store is so dirty and staff and even cook were not wearing masks and gloves. One of them was also coughing. I had already paid for my food so I had to wait to collect it, but after I left the store I dumped it and did not eat it.

Popped in for a quick snack had the spicy chicken noodles Asian style it was very nice and great service will call again.

Absolutely disgusting just ordered through Foodhub they excepted my order and then cancelled on me and to be told I won’t get a refund for 3 to 5 days is an absolute joke

The food here is of a very low standard. Probably the worst in Preston. Also over priced for a dogs dinner. Not recommended

Food was good. Something different. And chocolate cake was yumm

Good quality food and service so far. I have ordered 7/8 times since opening using FoodHub, The Rice box is my favorite!

Best quality fresh food excellent service
