    Nowhere near authentic but on a lively night it can be good knockabout fun for a group.

    Stopped at Mexican Cantina in search for Mexican food. Mexican food has been sparse here in…read moreEngland. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Mexican food here at the Mexican Cantina. I ordered the shredded pork chimichanga with refried beans. The pork was pretty awesome but the refried beans were none existent in a scientist point of view, "there was a trace" of refried beans. I got guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream but no salsa. Where is the salsa? I told the waiter I would have liked hot sauce with my chimichanga, and that I never had Mexican food without salsa before. He offered salsa to go on its own. What am I supposed to do with a salsa to go?!!! The perks? Amazing and awesome chili tequila. Best tequila I've ever had in my life! I had four shots. It is quite spicy and the spiciness crept in minute after minute after the shot was consumed but I didn't care, I wanted more. Will frequent again. Loved the chimichanga and the chili tequila. I will demand salsa in my next adventure to Mexican Cantina. To those that gave this place three stars, I'm from California and lived two hours away from Mexico. I know Mexican food, hands down this place is a solid four stars. Now if I said it was best Mexican food ever I'd be lying but it is for sure a four, this place actually gets Mexican cuisine right!

    I would really recommend Mexican Cantina for somewhere to eat in Newquay. The staff were very…read moreaccommodating and managed to fit twenty of us in at short notice (unlike the other good Mexican who just didn't have the space). They also managed really well with the group all the food came out hot and at the same time which made it much nicer we didn't have to wait too long for it either. The food was really tasty and there was a good choice on the menu. There was also a great choice of cocktails and we all enjoyed a couple, the staff even made up a couple especially for the hen which were both very tasty and it was nice to get her something different!!

My expectations were not high but I was pleasantly surprised by my meal of chicken fajitas that came with sour cream, guacamole, salsa and flour tortillas. The fajitas had onion and peppers and was nicely seasoned. The flour tortillas were not great but ok and the rest was very good. For a starter we had the macaroni bites that came with a pepper jam that was delicious. my daughter thought the nachos were great. Her husband had steak with peppercorn sauce that he really liked. All in all a pleasant and unexpected surprise. Though I wouldn't see a need to go again this trip, was glad to have tried it.

Mexican food, drink and decor all add up to make this one great place to eat. They sell the usual fajitas and enchalades too. The whole restaurant is themed , in great bright colours of reds and yellows to make it authentic. They also have mexican music, mainly by the Gypsy Kings. One night when i went here we had sangria and were listening to the music when we realised it was hotel california. When you hear this with a mexican twist it is not only hillarious but somewhat cool at the same time!! the service we recieved was second to none absolutely great. The food was also brilliant could not fault either of them. Then we have the prices , which again are great for the amount of food you get. The whole experience was amazing, i would go back as much as i could if lived closer. Its just soo nice! If you stay in looe or visit , make a trip to this restaurant, it wasnt packed when we went in, but there were people in there, a great little hidden gem!

    Let's start with something very important to a review of a Mexican (strictly burrito) place in the…read moreUK; I'm American with about fifteen years in the food industry on the perpetual hunt for great food. Taco Macho is a hidden gem, and it shouldn't be surprising that it's the #1 place to eat in Exeter on TripAdvisor. Although I've constantly complained to him about how long it takes to make a burrito, it's also my fault because we're both talkers. He makes all his ingredients fresh, and hand picks all his ingredients because (we've discussed this) he'd rather pay more for supplies that are of a better quality which means he needs to do his shopping instead of going through a supplier. For about £7 you get a burrito that is the best you're going to find (I'll have another review of the taco place in London later) in the UK, I've searched. They're American sized burritos, and absolutely DESTROY the other "Mexican" place across the river, and is the third best burrito I've ever had; the two others are no longer in business and were toward Columbia MD, and the other was in York PA. The flavor is very well balanced and have a nice combination of spice and occasionally citrus notes. Many of the Brits have turned up their nose, and the only reason I've been able to put together is because they're not used to an abundance of flavor in their food - That's not a jab a British food, but an observation from living there for about two years. There are beef, chicken, and sometimes vegan/vegetarian options but that may change in the future; I've never asked about veggie options. Overall, the hours are short (about 1100-1600 Tuesday-Saturday, but that may have changed), so call ahead and hopefully the number provided is both accurate and if it's accurate hopefully he'll pick up; check Facebook for up-to-date hours. If you go in, you could probably tell him the Gringo that was always in flannel sent you, and you won't regret it. However, if you find a better burrito in the UK, somebody needs to tell me because I don't think it's going to happen. Hopefully that was helpful. Keep on eating.
