A great place to eat, perfect for larger parties, large outdoor eating area under the stars, so romantic 💖.

Food was nice, not a big menu, service was fantastic. Resturant is a little run down, but has a oldi worldy feel to it with art work and paintings. Bill was reasonable.

Wanted to spend our valentines evening last night here, but after walking through the square with all other bars and restaurants with red balloons and roses on the tables, we were both disappointed with the Mexican who looks like they don’t celebrate this day, You would just think that it was a busy Saturday evening, again the food was good, but we felt very rushed, staff wearing crocks and tee shirts ( not very professional) At the end of the evening while putting our coats on, the waitress was stood next to our table with fresh cutlery and napkins waiting to relay our table, while there was other empty tables and no one waiting for a table didn’t seem right, Very disappointed, and will not look to book another romantic meal here again.

One word: Bland! My mother-in-law had the Mexican Sweet Chicken dish and it just didn't have any flavour. I had the vegetable fajitas which appear to have been steamed or barely cooked, with some slightly spicy sauce on them. All very bland. My daughter had a pizza which had cheddar cheese rather than mozzarella and it wasn't very pleasant. My husband had the lamb burrito which was very bland. Not what we expected for a Mexican restaurant which should be full of flavour!

The food was a bit hit and miss mine was great but my friends chicken was hard and overcooked We were told the only table for 8 was at 7pm however there was only one other table of customers in the entire restaurant With a couple of walk ins at 9:30 just as we were leaving Such a shame as our last visit was 10/10 for everyone I would go back and give it another try

Bit stuck for our first choices ( having not booked ) but were found a table here. Nice enough menu but we probably picked the wrong dishes. Burritos were under cooked - to the point of cold - and pretty tasteless. Service was sharp and everyone seemed happy enough - both staff and customers. Well priced and drinks not excessive

I have no idea how this restaurant has such good reviews given the food is so naff. Really nice venue/staff; just immensely uninspiring food. It's the type of thing you'd expect to see on an average episode of Gordon Ramsay's kitchen nightmares or something. If grilling half a bag of grated mozzarella from Lidl on top of a tortilla is considered authentic "mexican" these days then god help us all

This restaurant has gone from strength to strength. The quality and quantity of the main meals is outstanding. We’ve been visiting for over 25 years and it has only improved year on year. Always busy which says it all. Menu is outstanding choice and you only have to ask if there’s a potential problem ie, gluten free etc. will continue to frequent this busy restaurant with their amazing efficient staff, particularly Annie, who is just one of the restaurant’ s long-standing serving staff. Well done as always. 🥵

We just went to the Mexican restaurant and we were very disappointed. The food is not authentic and quite overpriced. If you never eaten Mexican food it is impossible to tell the difference. We ordered mini chicken bites from the children's menu for my grandson. Only 4 super mini bites overcooked/ nearly burned. He didn't eat them. In general the food was average, nothing special. The only good thing was the Corona beer. I would not recommend this restaurant!

Now we have been coming to this restaurant for a number of years, and every time we come back the food is truly special. Upon this visit Ela the owner went above and beyond, we arrived after making a reservation and upon arrival I was greeted with her singing happy b'day, and a table set up with birthday/Xmas card and party napkins! My better half had not arranged this so we were both surprised it was a very nice touch, all through the evening Ela and the team couldn't do enough for us even cooking a fish dish specially for me, and it was awesome, what an truly special evening me and my partner had and it will never be forgotten... If you go to Exmouth at any point even if it's for a weekend please go into the Mexican for a meal every dish is stunning and they always have a specials menu, and try the Mexican ice-cream it's on another level, trust us it is the best mexican food we have had period, and as for all the team my review speaks for itself. We will be back........

The best Mexican restaurant in Devon. Extremely lucky to have this restaurant at our door step here in Exmouth that caters for all. The foods are delicious and great choice s. Plates are empty when collected. Refreshing cocktails. Their covered outdoor sitting area is our favourite place to have meals with friends and family especially during the summer. Outdoor heaters are available at each table on the decking for when the weather turns cold. Have had great experience on every visit a happy vibe atmosphere, friendly customer service 🙂

A real shame, we came here for a friend's birthday meal but it didn't live up to the rave reviews. Disappointing food - sauces and dips were tasteless and as if they'd come out of a bottle. Huge random chunks of raw chilli in the side salads. Ribs were grey. 'Tacos' were packet tortillas. Tuna was tasty and well cooked, but the starter portion was miniscule. Adding cheese to a fajita order costs almost £3. I've spent a lot of time in Mexico and I wouldn't call any of this authentic. Cocktails were also flavourless and seemed like there was no alcohol in them. Service was reasonable but mistakes were made. Very odd painting in the ladies "TOILET'OS".
