Really nice Mexican place in the schanze! I was initially worried that I'd not find much to eat on the menu given that spicy food and I don't get along very well, but the staff recommended a few dishes I might like and I wasn't disappointed. I had a really nice mexican sandwich with an omelette and avocado - one of the best sandwiches I've had in a while! Recommended for some authentic mexican food for a decent price in the Schanze. read more

Cafe Mexico is a nice little Mexican restaurant just to the north of the Schanze. I had the chilli con carne burrito and was quite surprised when something that I would have recognised as enchiladas was presented to me. Definitely different to the Americanised burrito places that are starting to pop-up around Hamburg. If you like tequila then (I assume) this is definitely a place to visit seeing as they have about 100 different types A nice touch is the complementary shot of tequila before you leave. read more

If you want to try out some authentic mexican food and drink way too much Tequila then this is the place to come. I had an enchilada like never before. Cocoa sauce, which sounds odd but is actually pretty delicious. The staff were pretty attentive dashing back and forth with the lime, salt, tequila and san miguel. A good place to have a works party as it's going to be pretty quiet midweek, and so you can take over the bar. With my recently discovered love of burritos, it made me one step closer to believing that the best cuisine and venues are mexican. Will be going back to see what the burritos are like. read more

Cracking little Mexican cafe/bar serving real mexican food, the likes of which, I had never tasted! It's a lot like mud, basically, but made from chocolate, and call Mole. Maybe it's made from moles? Of course, the real attraction here is the extensive range of tequila, some of which didn't even make us projectile vomit across the table! Actually I suspect there may have been a little chundering but hell, it's all good. read more

We stopped by here on a whim - the prospect of a margarita while sitting outside in the warm weather was too good to pass up. And the margaritas, and service, did not disappoint. I'll preface by saying we love margs, but only the good ones, not the sweet syrupy ones. These were incredible, handmade (took a little while) and delicious. We were also told they were bringing us Nachos which was a nice gesture but we anticipated a microwaved mess. Instead, we got a plate that was more like hot, homemade tomato / bean dip with a few tortilla chips layered in. Combined With the spicy homemade chili sauce, it was delicious. Service was great too, excited to go back for a full meal! read more

Not a lot of mexican places in Hamburg. We went here searching for a fix. Overall service was good. There is English menu included. The menu is very simple; 2 pages for food. More pages for alcohol. We started with guacamole and it was good. Hubby thought it was a little too Limey but he was eating every bit of it. And it seemed homemade. We had a lime margarita and mango margarita. For price, it was pretty small but it tasted pretty good, maybe too much tequila (not exactly a bad thing). Kids had cold milk. My hubby asked for true mexican beer (dos Equis Amber, negro modelo which were on menu) but they were out. They did have corona and German beer. The kids has the burrito with queso. Considering the price and 3 tortillas, we had them split. The tortillas were small, corn, and ultimately not a very large serving. It also was covered in salsa. I had burrito with chicken with green salsa. Overall it was good but was made with corn tortillas and small. Taste was good though. Hubby had enchiladas with beef and mole. Again corn (more expected) and he was happy with mole. We ended dinner with their only dessert which was plantains in honey and cream. It was ok.... Not my thing. Considering the choices, it was okay for our fix. Guacamole and a margarita were my favorites. Also there weren't a lot of people there on a Saturday night. Btw, they open at 6pm and hard to park. read more

When I moved to HH from California, I thought that I would never find a bowl of guacamole, let alone a decent enchilada. Then I found Cafe Mexico. This is the real deal. The family who runs this charming cafe come from Mexico City, and they cook The Best enchiladas in Hamburg. The mole (a rich dark sauce made with chocolate, spices and nuts) is heavenly. The chilaquiles are great too...come to think of it, EVERYTHING is tasty here. And the tequila selection....yummmmmmmm. The decor is right out of Mexico, with the Virgin of Guadalupe and lots of cacti watching over the diners. Love it! And the service is just as it is in Mexico--mellow and friendly. Prices are quite reasonable. Cafe Mexico is a bright spot of sunshine. When friends say that they've never eaten Mexican food (or they think Mexican is just fajitas or Tex-Mex), we bring them here. I would eat here once a week if I lived closer to the Schanze! read more

Very nice authentic Mexican restaurant. Good food, and pleasant service. Our waiter didn't know anything about the food or about drinks but he always had a smile on his face which made everything great. Would go here again read more

This is the best Mexican food I've had in Hamburg. Cafe Mexico has dishes I haven't found at any other Mexican restaurant in the area - chilaquiles, tamales, nopales, you name it. Its obvious the kitchen staff are using high-quality ingredients and making everything from scratch. The drinks menu is extensive and the margaritas are small and potent. I went with a large party of friends last year and the waiter gave us all a free shot of tequila at the end of the meal. Service was great - the waiter took the time to explain different dishes to us and slipped in and out of German, English and Spanish depending on who he was talking to in our group. read more

This Mexican restaurant serves quality and authentic ingredients that deserves 5 stars. However there are some things that make the experience mediocre. For example, the dishes have unique ingredients or are prepared uniquely e.g. cactus enchiladas and chicken tamales. But, the Enchiladas are small and not "loaded" with cactus. Everything has too much cheese and the tamales are mostly corn meal, I could not seem to find the chicken in them. The Mojitos were too sweet. Generally Mojitos are made with soda water with dissolved sugar, not sprite with dissolved sugar. Overall food & drink quality 3 star. It took the waitress a while to come to our table (although we were one out of two groups at the restaurant). She also seemed to be more interested in cleaning the bar (which looked perfectly fine) than to serve the customers and avoided eye contact. Also, the food took a long time to come. Maybe it is because of the special preparation required, but an appetizer takes about 30-45 minutes to come before the main entree. The service in my opinion was 2.5 star quality. This place could be better, but there are some improvements that need to be made. read more

I had such high hopes for Cafe Mexico but alas it was a bit of a let down. The service is ok, very nice, even though our server was slow with the drinks and spilled a whole plate of creamy enchiladas all over our coats. That was something I'll never forget, I don't think my coat will either. The menu seemed to have a lot of choices but in actuality it did not. It just a lot of repetition and white space. Mexican food is one of my favorites so I knew what to expect and I was not expecting what was put down in front of me. Once I got my food, it was extremely cold, as if they had the kitchen in another building and walked it over in the dead of winter. Even though they told me mine would take a few minutes longer because it had to cook longer it was actually one of the first dishes to come out. I might give this place another chance but I am not rushing back there anytime soon. I will just have to hang my sombrero and wait until I come across a real, authentic Mexican experience. read more

enchiladas de mole are amazing !
