    Decent Mexican food outside of Paris. Chimichanga was quite good. Veggie burrito was a little suspect as it was filled with coleslaw.

    After 12 days in Europe these Californians were sorely missing Mexican food. We'd spent a week with…read morefamily friends in Germany and about 5 days in Paris. While we ate and enjoyed the local culture we all wanted something with a little more spice. Our daughter was the one to find Fajitas. It's a great find in the Latin Quarter where we stayed. The chips and salsa were actually some of the best we've had even in California. We all ordered enchiladas - chicken mole enchiladas and my husband had regular chicken. Mole enchiladas are my daughter's favorite and there's one place at home which makes them to perfection. She said these were very close to her favorites. We've covered the food which was AH-mazing - your tastebuds will not go wrong here. The service was really delightful. Our server was friendly, helpful, and attentive. Also, I have to give all of the servers +10 XP because in Paris almost every store, restaurant, etc. is multi-story. Where we were seated to dine was one floor down from the main street. The way down.... a rather long metal spiral staircase. I can't even walk two feet without tripping on a piece of dust. I don't know how these servers make it all the way down a narrow spiral staircase with hot plates of food. We still think fondly of our meal that night and should we return to Paris, we'll be certain to stop by for comida.

    This is possibly the worst Mexican food in Paris as well as the worst margarita anywhere. A…read moremargarita from a can would have tasted better. The owner was neither rude nor friendly but tired and inattentive. Our desire to have a break from weeks of delicious French bistro food, was not worth the 80 euros we spent for enchiladas for two and one margarita each.

    Absolutely fantastic fresh Mexican food in Paris. Absolute delight to taste! Truly excellent spot,…read morefor Cinco de Mayo. We made a reservation on a Sunday at 1:30pm and it was busy but not crowded. The décor is contemporary and clean with Frida Kahlo gracing the walls and trinkets of color and books of México. Odd point but must be said: Cleanest, whitest and biggest bathroom in Paris! The staff was super friendly and bi-lingual so parle Français or habla español si deseas.... We ordered the guacamole, the shredded pork (chochinita pibil) tacos and quesadillas. For main meal, the beef steak. All were amazing, delicious!!! Super fresh guacamole! Very light on the salt, so my partner added salt but I felt mine was perfect as is! We ordered two drinks, Viva La Vida, and another green gin drink whose name I do not recall, sorry! The staff, the décor, the food, the drinks... love! To be fair, I think the french palate wouldn't tolerate more spice, but I think the chef could add a plate or two. I cant wait to go back for sure!!!

    We decided to check out some Mexican food on our visit to Paris(no judging) and this place was a…read morerelatively short walk from the hotel. It's on a small street and a little challenging to find. We ordered guacamole to start and it was excellent. The chips were fresh and thin with the appropriate amount of salt. The guacamole itself was flavorful and authentic. A good start to the meal. We both had tacos-I had the duck tacos and my wife had the pork. They came on blue corn tortillas and were pretty good. They could have done with some pico de gallo but the meat was tender and well spiced. The service was excellent as was the atmosphere. The table next to us had margaritas that looked great. All in all a good alternative in Paris for your Mexican food fix.
