The best restaurants serving Mexican food in East of England

Good food with moderate portions so nothing was wasted. A great place for a meal out in walking distance from the town centre

Due to my allergies, I have to be careful what I have to eat. They had no problem preparing a meal for me separately from other meals.

One of my favourite cuisines is Mexican food, I’ve tried all the new franchises in Norwich now but I’ve been meaning to try Jive Kitchen. I went with my family a couple of weeks ago and it is fantastic. I couldn’t believe the portion sizes. It a great little spot with a beautiful view overlooking the gentleman’s walk. We got the chopped cheese burritos, Og fried chicken burritos, Chicken thigh tacos, Loaded fries and the Pork nachos. I would definitely recommend sharing one burrito between two! An amazing combination of flavours. Everything is so fresh! My favourite thing we got were the pork nachos and of course the burritos! I 100% recommend! I can’t wait to go again to try some other things on the menu.

Average food, dull flavours compared to what Mexican food should taste like

We ate out every day during our Center Parcs stay (Bella Italia, Hucks and Forsters Inn) and overall Las Iguanas was the best main meal (with the exception of Pancake House) but still not anything outstanding. Portion size was decent and the food tasted pretty nice, but it was fairly standard, nothing special. It was a bit on the expensive side but all the restaurants are there. The food was brought over by a little novelty machine which was very entertaining! The main downside of this restaurant is that there were long wait times to have our drinks/food order taken and an even longer wait time for someone to take payment when the restaurant wasn't exceptionally busy. The food itself didn't take too long to arrive, but we waited almost half an hour to be able to pay the bill.... There was also an added optional 7.5% service charge (which is applied at all restaurants across Center Parcs) which would have taken even longer to get this removed so we reluctantly paid this one as we just wanted to get going. There was one waitress working in there called Jess who was the only one who seemed to be doing any work, she was amazing and was tending to all the tables (about 6/7 in total) where as the other two waitresses (one that I believed might have been a manager as she was dressed in different uniform) just kept standing round at the tills not doing much and both of them went outside for half an hour separately, leaving Jess to do all the work... Even when we eventually managed to ask for our bill, the woman I believed to be manager gave our dirty plates to Jess to clear even though Jess was already doing so much. Jess was really lovely and seemed like a very hard worker so I would like to give credit to her.

Nachos and halloumi are absolutely delicious. Bit of a slow service was a fairly busy Friday evening. We ordered 2 fajitas for mains and only one came out and was told the other one would be out shortly. So one of us ate our mains whilst the other waited. Was almost finished by the time the other dish came out. All in all it is nice but it does seem expensive - £92 for two people to have a starter each, a main each and 1 drink each. Inc service charge automatically put on the bill.

Seanna was an amazing server, fun, informative and attentive- even though it was super busy. We really enjoyed being served by her

Disappointing after reading so many good reviews. Starters arrived, all looked lovely. I thought my empanades were hot until I got half way through the first one, where it was ice cold. Mild dishes we found too spicy, and the spicy dish my husband ordered was very mild! The Mocktails were no more than crushed ice with hardly any drink, which wasn’t easy to drink through the straws. Little things like, no napkins at all and not replenishing cutlery after the starters. Very expensive for sub standard food and drinks. Would not return

Had a lovely meal here, food was delicious and the servers were friendly. Would recommend 👌

Great deals for students on Mondays.

The service was amazing by Claudio and the food was fresh!! Top job👌

It used to be THE spot in Hitchin to grab some tacos and margaritas. Now it has a takeaway only feel with some techy kiosks. And we can't seem to find the tacos anymore... Whilst there, another couple came in, saw there was no tacos and left, so not sure if going this way was a wise financial decision either? Used to be the favourite restaurant in Hitchin, now to mourn for the loss. Hopefully it will return one day to its glory, and I can update this back to 5 stars.

Booked a table for 5 at half 7 on Friday night. Got there and the restaurant was closed. Had to then wander round Hertford trying to find another restaurant that wasn't fully booked and was taking walk-ins. Had no contact info as their website is under construction, and the opening hours on Google are wrong. Not sure if restaurant has closed down or has been taken over, but probably shouldn't be taking bookings through OpenTable if you aren't open.

We got the hotdog, Texan steak burger and highttower burger. Texan steak deffo a winner. Hotdog, not great cheap sausages. But overall, the patties..delicious with the combo of sauces and fillings. Taking a cheeseburger home for the hubby 😁

food is cold chips are stale no sauce when asked no napkins my cheese quesadilla is not spicy and not filled enough and chips were half empty chips was on 𝐢𝐬𝐥𝐚 sat there all day
