My best experience In Barcelona. Great food. Tortillas, buritos, tacos.. It is big and not expensive. The waitress is smiling and offered us chupitos ! The music was great ! metal, rock, punk

Shoulder to shoulder with people next to me, I order my margarita & nachos topped so high with guacamole & sour cream goodness I'm genuinely afraid it will fall. Truly what foodie dreams are made of.

What I loved about that place are nachos - portion that would fill an army. Michelada wasn't really my thing, but I enjoyed cool decors and ambience and the fact that they're super dog friendly.

Great Mexican! Nachos is huge! Margaritas are excellent, and the pork tacos are nice and juicy. One of the best Mexican places in Barcelona

If you're from the UK, you can be 100% confident that this will be better than any Mexican you've ever had back at home. Phenomenal food. Get the Nachos.

Awkward space but super yummy food and lovely staff. The michelada is goooood! Tinga=chicken so order without if you're veggie. €11 got me a huge drink and ample food! Go hungry and thirsty 😉

Super friendly staff, the Brazilian waitress was awesome and gave good tips on how and what to eat. Authentic Mexican food, try the guacamole and you won't be disappointed. Top notch, thank you.

Decoration is nice service is cool if you like mexican dishes you should defineyely give a try. I also suggest frozen mango and regular margarita both were awesome :) open kitchen can be more tidy

A piece of Mexico in the center of Barcelona. Get ready for huge portions of excellent food and delicious margaritas. Crowded, noisy, but full of great vibes. Great service too!

Time to reprioritize and focus on the Nachos Pachucos. Hands-down best I’ve ever eaten #tacochronicles and those #taco #carnitas !
Renata BotelhoAugust 7, 2017
Best nachos I've ever had!! We ordered all 4 types of tacos and my favorites were the pork ones, really nice seasoning. Good vibes, good people, amazing food. I'll certainly come back 😋
Hanne BeckJuly 16, 2019
Go here if you like mexican food! Probably the best mexican we’ve ever tasted. The nachos and the carnitas taco is LOVELY! (Ps. Small place, so go early or expect some waiting)
Jess NDecember 30, 2016
Delicious food! Definitely get the Nachos Pachucos. You won't regret it.
Matt AndersonAugust 22, 2015
Ate then spent the next half an hour thinking I was walking around Mexico... Amazing! Highly recommend the carnitas tacos
Ken ArmitageJanuary 22, 2017
Funky trendy and tasty. Small restaurant so don't expect any space. Great vibe, loud music and even better food. Worth a visit.
Lubomír PeclSeptember 26, 2015
Try the nachos pachucos, these are a dream! Wonderful atmosphere, friendly staff, cheap and delicious meals! We had to wait 20 minutes for a table but it was worth it...

Taco’s Tinga was my favorit! Small space but incredible food!

Huge nachos, enough to share between 2 or more. Michelada is amazing. So is the tostada, sin tinga if you're a veggie. Good spot. Lovely staff
SlavaNovember 28, 2018
Pretty authentic place with a couple of good vegetarian options on board. Recommend!
Alex NikolovSeptember 1, 2015
Probably the only place in town you'll be able to try real homemade #nachos & the best #michelada !
Alexandra SterninFebruary 9, 2017
Very fresh ingredients, and generous portions. We are vegetarians, and the place is great for everyone. Pluses all around, will come back!
Mark LinderAugust 7, 2017
Nachos, tacos, margaritas, homemade tortilla...you won't go wrong & you won't go hangry.

Eating tacos like I was in Mexico! Tacos de Chilorio the best ones!!! Don't forget to drink michelada with Pacifico beer!!!
Denisa VincalkovaFebruary 3, 2022

Matteo LombardiOctober 10, 2015
Quesadilla pachuca is amazing. 2 are enough for most people though as they are really big! Amazing place

Unbeatable Tex-Mex! The nachos are a must (bring friends to share as they're huge) and quesadillas, tostadas and tacos are also amazing. Don't really care for the bready sopas, but <3 everything else!
Rafael MarinApril 14, 2017
The "pituche" cocktail was awesome. The nachos were good, and the tacos not as good. Overall, it's a nice place, but not better than Tlaxcal.

Great and cheap Mexican food in this tiny and authentic venue. Great assortment of mezcales.
Oguzhan OnatFebruary 27, 2017
Food is the best, especially tacos but wait in the line just took so long. Even though, it's worth it.
Mark JenningsOctober 9, 2015
The michelada is out of this world. Everything is made from scratch. I have never tasted Mexican food this good.
Zara KhanFebruary 2, 2018
Went there twice in a week. They really know how to make a mean taco! Absolutely in love with this joint!
Ola PawlickaSeptember 15, 2016

Best guacamole I’ve ever had. Great atmosphere, friendly staff and relatively cheap.
Yasmina AladdinSeptember 10, 2016
The nachos and chicken tacos are good, the quesadillas are too cheesy! Great atmosphere and friendly staff.
Jay WoodsonMarch 31, 2017
Very small but nice place. Good portions and really friendly staff. The tacos were good, but a little salty and unfortunately the carnitas lacked flavor (maybe marinate longer?) would still go back!
Amit MAugust 6, 2017
Great veggie options. Make sure to ask for the hot sauce!
Johannes NilssenJune 1, 2016
Everything, the food, the drinks, the music, the people and the mezcal
Anirudh ThiraniMarch 31, 2018
An absolute stunner.. Small place but great food and warm service. Cocktails are nice as well
Artur Mc CleanAugust 14, 2015
I think is one of the best Mexican rest in Barcelona. Try the nachos! Really tasty!
sesimFebruary 11, 2017
Difficult to find a place to sit but the tacos worth for the wait. Try to go there with small groups of 2-3.
AbdulmajedJanuary 24, 2016
Loved this place, amazing nachos ❤ and tacos. Worth waiting.
EgmanApril 20, 2016
Probably the best quesadilla I had in my life. Gone faster than I could take a picture of it :)
Lee PinesJune 6, 2016
Increíble, auténtico! Real Mexican! Fresh ingredients! Amazing slush mountain margaritas. Nice people!
Matteo LombardiJune 25, 2016
Michelada with pacifico and quesadilla el pachuco, great after beach meal!

Eat the nachos! Always crowded, but if you can get in quick, very highly recommended.
