We happened to be in Basel for an event yesterday and I got the urge for Mexican food. We checked…read moreYelp for something close and La Piratita was the closest and also sounded the most like 'real' Mexican food. We weren't disappointed. Knowing it was Cinco de Mayo, I wasn't sure we'd manage to get in but took a chance. Lucky us, we were seated at a table outside on the patio next to a large group of celebratory Americans (luckily, we're Americans too). So, in short, margaritas were excellent, the La Piratita 'Taco Party' that we ordered was fantastic and probably the most authentic (if I actually remember what that is anymore) Mexican food I/we've eaten since we left the U.S. Also, the service was excellent as well. FYI - They also have some really excellent tequila. Within a couple of bites both my wife and I knew that we'd be returning for more. Yum!

And the burritos don't have rice in them. The chips and salsas were great too. Pineapple sour beer was excellent also. Girlfriend loved the red cabbage, maybe a little anachronistic for Mexican, but tasty! Super cool ambiance with all kinds of Mexican images (heavy on the Frida khalo I'll say though). Service was fine, prices were fine by Swiss standards (about $30 USD for a burrito with red cabbage and chips or 3 tacos with no sides). A 750 ml pitcher of margaritas for $80 USD was a bridge too far though. ;)

It reminded us of a Mexican restaurant back home (we're from Oklahoma). To start the margarita was SOOO good, the hibiscus syrup they put in it? Yes, get you one immediately.

I took my colleague here to try Mexican food since we have been eating swiss food most of the time. The chicken enchiladas were not really traditional way how Mexican restaurants cook in San Diego or in San Jose California; it's more like chicken tacos because they fried it and the shape is like a mini taco.

You can order and prepay online by scanning a QR code on a buzzer which will alert you to your order being ready.

I maybe would have had a better experience with the indoor large screen ordering system (like the kind they have at fast food restaurants).
