The Mexican in East Hertfordshire

Service was very pleasant and friendly and able to meet our requirements. Definitely one to go back for.

Went for bottomless brunch with a group of friends. Amazing food, staff very attentive, great music

Lovely place, great food just a touch cold - the place not the food! Great service

Came to bottomless brunch as a group of 9. Staff were brilliant and the food was amazing! Highly recommend. Will definitely be back soon.

Excellent value for money and really tasty food. The restaurant and toilets are very clean and a really great and relaxed atmosphere. Friendly and menu knowledgeable staff.

Absolutely embarrassing service! Accepted my order at 7:15 pm 2hrs later and no food! They closed at 9pm!!

Love this place one of my favourite places to ear, highly recommend taco Tuesday. It is pretty expensive on any other day but the food is great.

Took over an hour and half to deliver. Called up and asked for it to arrive sooner or cancel the order. The bag was wet through with grease and went everywhere when the driver tried to deliver it, had to pick it up from my front door as it went everywhere. Food was cold and tacos soft and soggy. Quesadillas were greasy, nachos were nice but very, very small portion sizes. If I ever ordered from here again I would only order the burrito. The rest is a rip off.

I booked this restaurant for a family meal to celebrate my wife's birthday (she loves Mexican food). There were 12 of us and we were seated downstairs on request to make a more private affair. The entire experience was wonderful. Good food and a warm service. One of the children has coeliac with the menu full of gluten free dishes, clearly labelled. Parking outside the restaurant has restrictions, however there is a pay car park a short walk away.

really good . Proper Mexican food . We loved it ❤️

Waited more than 1 whole hour before any food came to the table after ordering.

The food was delicious and excellent value for money. The staff as always were friendly, welcoming and efficient and the place was spotlessly clean. A great place for a lovely meal.

I've dined in, but mostly done the delievery. I love the food, it's tasty and satisfys my tex-mex cravings, but the delivery nacho portion sizes arent consistent. Last time I had a rather small portion of meat and toppings. I decided to give The Mexican another chance and this time my delivery nachos were heaving, the box almost bursting!

Came here recently for a work Christmas party, everyone had a great time and the food was excellent and plentiful. Service very helpful both in organising and on the night. Thank you!

This is literally fantastic! I have been to so many poor or average Mexican places in the UK and London, always hoping and getting disappointed, little knowing there was a gem just down the road from home. Superb food, the real deal, and good prices. Excellent margaritas, proper nachos not those fake ones and, best of all, a fantastic quesadilla. It's brilliant and everyone should go here!

Had a fantastic time at The Mexican. We had the lunchtime deal menu, which was really good value for money. The food was delicious, and the service was really good. Would definitely recommend!

Nice restaurant! Amazing food a lot of diffrent choices and a lovely service!!!! I really can highly recommend to stop by!

They'd lost power, and it had just returned when I arrived. They immediately assured me that they would be up and running in no time. They took my order, and they were right! The fod was in front of in no time. And OH the FOOD! I rarely get to visit or have time to visit when I am in Ware, but when I do, I am salivating before I walk in the door. My stomach is in full grumble mode by the time I sit. They can feed every eater, whether you are vegitarian, vegan or a meat eater. They have something for everyone. And the favour will not disappoint. It's not Mexico, but the food is truly close to it.

I have no idea how this place has such a good rating. The food is tasteless. £12 for a burrito with zero flavour, and if you want to add guacamole, salsa, or any standard ingredients, you have to pay an extra £1.50 to £2 for each item. It's just lazy. Try to make the food taste nicer by either using seasoning or better quality ingredients. I've been twice recently. The first time, I was charged an optional £1.50 service fee on top of a £12 lunch deal. It's not really £12 if you put the onus on the customer to remove the "optional charge." Then I went today, and the charge wasn't added. So I am guessing you realised that the £12 lunch meal had to be £12 not £13.50. you can do better.

Here for the bottomless brunch. Definitely recommend this gem of a place Great food and great people

Avoid. Cancel your order after a long delay just generally poor. And 2 star hygiene rating

Lovely food and lovely drinks, I loved the taste and seasonings

Just had a lovely lunch here, the new Quesabirria was awesome! Always a good spot for lunch :) Thanks to everyone at the Mexican!

We were just celebrating a Friday night tbh! Food was delicious and the Margaritas were yum, all drinks and food came swiftly and the service was so friendly from everyone. We had nachos to start (I’d recommend the grilled chicken nachos), then a selection of tacos and quesadillas to share, finished with churros! Perfect mix. To top it all off, there was the cutest guitar player which added to the Mexican atmosphere! We love it here and would highly recommend!

Mexican cuisine is my favorite and I've been to quite a few Mexican restaurants and I've gotta say this is one of the best and my favorite one

Went on Taco Tuesday on Halloween with my family and even then it seemed over priced with the quality of the food being average (if that). We had a selection (Tapas, Borritoes, Nachoes) and came away feeling very underwhelmed (especially for the price) and cubes of meat felt like they had not been freshly cooked and didn't taste that warm? The best thing seemed to be the sharing Nachoes (we had the shredded chicken in them and at least that was not cubed meat). I thought it strange they did not do fajitas, but I'm guessing these take more time to cook and so more costly to make and would be hard to make in the small kitchen? Usually there is also the option to have hard tacoes instead of the soft ones which I would have much preffered with some quality ground/shredded meat with some fresh crisp chopped salad to put on the tacoes (something they also did not do 🙁). Was very disappointed in what was going to be a treat for our 2 children as my daughter loves tacoes and really fancied them. Must admit we should have complained at the time, but it felt like they would be unable to do much better with the ingredients they had been supplied (tasted like pre cooked cubes of meat, no fresh chopped salad) with limited kitchen space so a replacement meal would have been the same (maybe just hotter) and was just left shocked with the price at the end for the quality of the food we had received and then thought about it more on our journey home before posting this review. Maybe we could have not eaten it, complained and left, but we were hungry and it was getting late to get back home to get the children to do their homework, showered and ready for bed before school the next day. I really hate to complain (especially when the staff are so hard working), but think their hands are tied with what they are given to work with and trying to increase profit margins. 🙁

I popped in with my friends. They are absolutely friendly and kind.I really recommend that place try to everyone.

Maybe a victim of their own success and too busy as the takeaway we had a couple of years ago (I dont live here, just visitng family) after lockdown was fantastic, this one was pretty average and I wouldn't order again. There were a few items which had been forgotten which they refunded so fine but the main issue was that it seemed the food had been cooked a while ago. We preordered for a certain time and the food was already bagged up and in a warming oven when I arrived a few minutes early. Less than a 5 minute drive away and everything just looked a bit sad - I had the sweetcorn/feta tacos which had hardly any filling and were dry, same for the pork pibil tacos. I should have taken photos. Someone else had the fish tacos and they at least had decent amount of filling. From other reviews it looks like it's best to eat in!

Best mexican food in the area. Nice cosy restaurant.

Food 😋 Also very welcoming to me and Maisey my dog

Visited this to celebrate a family birthday. The place is very charming and has good vibes. The cocktails were well made. The starters were fresh and tasted nice. The main course menu was not the usual one would find in a Mexican restaurant. And they were well done and fairly large portions. We struggled to finish our mains. The only issue with the place was the service. It appeared they cater a lot to takeaways and as a result their eat-in service was very slow. A quaint genuine place which would be even better if they manage to sort out their service.

Great and about as authentic as you can get outside Mexico. Mexican chef. Starters didn't arrive together. Excellent micheladas, but not for the faint hearted.

If you like Mexican food, this is the place to go, the food is amazing, there is much flavour in all the dishes that we have tried. We've been a couple of times now and will definitely be going back soon. Thank you

We love love love this place (especially sitting outside in the sun!) The cocktails are lush & food is so unique & different, it's my favourite Mexican & can't wait to go back!

Amazing food and service. Had a bottomless brunch here with my sister. Can't rate highly enough. Food delicious and staff lovely and attentive even though we were only people outside. Highly recommend.

Good value lunch menu and great staff. I think the chef has changed and the food not quite as tasty as it was. The restaurant has a great vibe.

Very enjoyable lunch The lunchtime special menu is great value for money The food was good The staff were excellent Will return

Came here on an off chance with no booking and found the whole team to be very helpful and accommodating, got us sat and the cocktails quickly began flowing shortly after. Lewis served us, his amazing knowledge of the menu helped my girlfriend adapt her dish to fit her vegetarian requests and he got a little more spice on my dish which is always a winner for me. Will defo be returning in the near future!

Whilst the food is tasty, the delivery portion sizes are a complete rip off. The images displayed on the GoGetters app indicate that a Sharers portion of Nachos is much bigger than what is actually delivered. A £15.60 sharer portion of Chicken Nachos should not be served in a box that is no longer than a normal dinner fork, and the image shown on the GoGetters app for all the Nachos suggest a much bigger portion will be served. I received more tortilla chips in the side of tortilla chips (£3.40) that I ordered than I did in the “sharer” nachos (£15.60). Whilst I do believe their food is tasty, I unfortunately cannot recommend ordering food for delivery from this restaurant if you are at all interested in getting what you pay for.

Amazing food with brilliant and attentive service. Definitely recommend.

always come taco Tuesday love it

We come every week for taco Tuesdays and I will continue to come for as long as I can. Perfect place to catch up with friends over a cocktail or beer and a taco. Also highly recommend the white sangria.

Love Taco Tuesday here! Always great food and a great atmosphere too :)

Love this place! Always here for Taco Tuesday. Such good food and atmosphere

steak burrito was lovely but a bit too expensive

Used to love this place when it opened, but following many visits I can only say in my opinion the menu has become somewhat lazy not to mention expensive. Burrito, quesadillas, tacos etc literally all have the same fillings and thus can only imagine the chefs only need to bulk cook a couple of different mains and serve in the appropriate style. This isn’t to say the food is bad but when it’s this style and they’ve not changed or added anything new to the menu since they opened, it’s hard to get excited about a return visit. The pricing structure needs looking at, I don’t believe sour cream, salsa, cheese etc should require an extra fee taking a beef burrito price to around £20 when it’s only served with a handful of tortilla chips. If you’ve never been before I’d say go as the food you get is very nice, but don’t expect anything different if you decide to go again. It should be mentioned that breakfast there is fantastic and does have a few surprises on the menu

a great vibe and service was spot on! hard to find somewhere with a good atmosphere and music and food but this place has it all 🫶🏼

Food was ok. Not much flavour to anything really. Really slow service also. We had finished our food and over 20mins went by before we even got to speak to someone to ask for our bill. Wasn't asked once in the 1h we were there if we wanted another drinkafter our original order. Good value lunch deal tho so that's a positive.

Great range of different tequila options, wonderful customer service!

Great service, excellent food and lovely atmosphere

Lovely summer evening enjoyed with friends outside. No rush to leave table and friendly service. Tasty food and amazing mojitos!

Amazing food, I had the grilled chicken Tacos 🌮 the taste buds have awakened! Daughter had churros and they were lush. Great menu choice something for everyone. Staff very polite ad helpful. Thank you for lovely experience. Defo be back.

Good food - only had the breakfast but enjoyed it. Only reason it's not getting five stars is that - like Dirty's in Hertford - it's overpriced for what you get.

Food was incredible but the service was shocking!! 30 mins for a drink and an hour for food, and it’s not a massive place. Got given the wrong dish and it turned out the dish we ordered was out of stock but they didn’t tell us. The waiter was clearly pissed off as well and super rude. Wouldn’t go again despite the food being super yummy.

The chicken nachoes are my favourite! Always the best food, sangria and atmosphere :)

Great atmosphere with music . Sangria tastes unreal , leaving you wanting more. Food is one of a kind! Love coming here and will definitely be back

Great place to eat authentic Mexican food. Fantastic service throughout well worth a visit if you're in Ware.

Harry was very accommodating and very attentive. It was very nice of him to be able to ask the kitchen to make us food even when the kitchen was closed as we arrive after 9pm. The food was amazing, we are big fan of mexican food and love the service here. Definitely going to come for the brunch event Saturday.

Amazzzzzing tacos and Assistance Dog friendly xx

Good food thinknthey may have a different chef? But enjoyed what I had waitress very attentive but we were the only customers

The best margaritas (particularly the morello cherry ones made by Mark!) - will never stop coming back!

Fab restaurant, fab cocktails, fab

Having wonderful pina coladas in the sunshine at The Mexican in Ware. Fabulous!

Plenty of booze, we were sat outside in the sun and the waitress lovely!

Always a pleasure eating here! The lunch deal menu offers plenty for £12 per person. I’ll continue to come back as the staff are always so welcoming.

Here for my 22nd Bday and having the best time! Drinks are so fast and food is delicious🫶

Sangria, sangria, sangria. Foods pretty banging too 👍🏼

Unbelievable food with even better service

This place is so lovely, with a relaxed outside seating area - great attentive staff - amazing food & cocktails & very reasonably priced 👍

Erin is the BEST ❤️ love the Mexican so much - our go to place for a bottomless

Delicious food, friendly service - great value for money!

We ordered a takeaway from here last night and we were blown away by what we ate! We’ve enjoyed Mexican food on both the West and East coast of Mexico, and at plenty of other Mexican restaurants all over the world, including many cruise ships! The food we had last night was by far the best we’ve eaten EVER! We look forward to ordering from here many more times in the future! We wish this restaurant every business success in the future! Dan & Jay

I absolutely love The Mexican in ware, the food, menu and new cocktails are delicious. The owner Alaistair and Brett and are always so accommodating and I’ve just met the new bar manager mark who was so friendly and made the whole experience really enjoyable.

After a walk along the river we landed up in Ware and fancied something to eat.. given that it was only 9pm we didn’t think it would be a problem… after passing copious amounts of empty/closed restaurants we spotted the Mexican was open… however, was sad to see they are now only using the smaller restaurant. A sign of the times. There was a few empty tables and initially the waiter said he could seat us, but after talking to the chef he came back and said kitchen was closed… at 9pm on a Saturday night?! google and trip advisor both say it’s open until 11pm…. It’s no wonder all the local businesses are closing down with this kind of service. Young staff are left to look after the place and eager to get home rather than do what’s best for the business.. where are the owners? I would never have booked to go here, so I wouldn’t say book to avoid disappointment. My point is you are turning away passing customers in this economy.. get a grip of your staff

Came for a bottomless brunch, Great food paired with great service, our server Erin was especially nice, would definitely recommend, love this place

From £2 tacos on a Tuesday to a cheeky lunch time nachos on a Saturday. The Mexican ware never misses. Big fan. Best food in Ware.

Been coming for years! Lovely staff and great food :)

Brilliant time. Came here with a group of mates for my birthday. Friendly staff, exceptional service, and great food. Worth the value for money

Would recommend this restaurant i am from st albans and there are no Mexican restaurants here lovely food the chef james was very nice and tended to what we asked for and lisa was a wonderful lady very polite thank you for a good experience would be nice if you could bring the mexican to st albans as i know alot of people would love this

Amazing bottomless brunch! Staff were amazing and food was excellent!

Amazing staff and even more incredible service. The food matched the amazing service! Couldn't recommend this restaurant more!

Lovely restaurant with friendly staff and very good margaritas

Food was really good! Really easy to order and delivery was really quick too! Will definitely be ordering again. The Baja fish burritos are so good!

Discovered this gem 2 years ago. It beats my expectations every times as best margarita workdwide( traveled 75 countries) matching best churros in the world - at par with street churros in Corozal belize. And stewed pork or chicken here out of this world... then go to home made nachos.. to die for. Cherry on the Sunday.. best friendliest staff u will ever encounter.. enjoy! Ole!

Went with some friends, lovely atmosphere sitting out in the sun, the lunch deal was delicious and great value for money, excellent service.

Great lunchtime menu, outside seating and delicious drinks! Friendly staff too. Highly recommend.

Went for the lunchtime special, which is great value at £12pp. Service from Steph was great, acknowledged us as soon as we arrived and really friendly....as were all the staff! A great place to spend the afternoon in the sun!

Great food and lovely service. Loved the white sangria !!

First time coming in here with my friends and LOVED it. Such friendly staff, great food and the best vibes!!

Gorgeous nachos, the corona sunrise is so weirdly delicious and the staff are lovely!

Beautiful food so far, I also ordered a corona sunrise cocktail, so good and came served in a corona bottle!

Great sunny spot in the sun to eat the lunch. Nachos and chicken ceaser salad was delicious and will be back for more! Staff friendly and helpful.

We were able to get tables super quickly Superb service food was amazing ! Food arrived quickly and promptly

Very tasty food & polite staff.
