I have a well documented weakness for Mexican food but I am also known to be quite snobby about my…read moreMexican food. La Cucaracha is the reason why, I grew up in Leuven and frequented this restaurant regularly. As a result I compare all Mexican I eat with this joint and often I am disappointed. The food is really good, the menu has been unchanged for a long time but like they say: never change a winning team. By the way, if you do long for some variation, you can go for their daily special. I have tried most dishes on the menu, but I typically go for Antojitos Mixos which means mixed appetizer but I eat it as a main and I can guarantee, you won't regret it: it is a flour tortilla with 10+ dishes on it. You will be filled with Mexican goodness! The service is also on great: you can feel the warmth of the people serving you, they are helpful, friendly and polite. The only minor downside is that it is always packed so they are often super busy and it is sometimes difficult to grab their attention (also make sure you get a reservation!). After leaving Leuven, I still long for the great food and service. It is more than a nostalgic feeling, every time I go back the food manages to convince me that La Cucaracha is a great eat. Highly recommended.

There's a little shop in the back of the shop. Only minus: the place is dark, cold and feels unwelcoming. Add a cutesy name, a nice logo and some hipster font and this place would be a hit !

However, I didn't fully realize the Go part of Mexigo and therefore was surprised that my burrito was pre-prepared and just heated up when I ordered it. The price of 3.50 euros was good and if you are in a hurry this is good but it is very important to understand that this is not a fancy sit down restaurant with freshly prepared food. Being away from America, I was desperate for Mexican food and this was good but I will probably go to a fancier place next time I want Mexican.

Oh dear, I had such high hopes…read more.. 1. It's tex-mex, not authentic mexican 2. It's very AVERAGE tex-mex - the tortilla wraps they use taste store bought, there are no fish tacos on the menu (literally the most popular thing in SoCal right now), choice is generally very limited 3. I ordered a burrito with sour cream, and when I got home and opened it: NO SOUR CREAM! It was literally the only thing I ordered on top, and they forgot it. The only reason I'm giving it 2 stars is because I want to support new local businesses, and hopefully they get better. But I won't be returning till fish tacos are on the menu. 4. Perhaps most telling: none of the staff were Mexican. I don't think any are even full time. It seemed like a stall run by part time students, and the service was in line with that. So so disappointing. p.s. This place seems popular because clearly 90% of people don't know good mexican/tex mex food - the moment a decent alternative opens in the area, I guarantee this place will struggle.

I had the special Mexican dish, which was 2 tacos with chorizo, cheese and guacamole then the nopal quesadilla; both were delicious. They have a limited wine list but have both Belgian and Mexican beers as well as sangria and mixed drinks. They offered, and I accepted a Mexican corn dessert which was also very good. Prices are very reasonable. However, the only credit cards they accept are those with PIN numbers (European); debit cards with pins are OK except they do not take Amexco.

I ordered the vegetarian sweet potato burrito, medium spicy, large of course. It was an explosion of flavor, slightly sweet due to the sweet potato, but wonderfully balanced by the spicy burrito sauce and the salsa. I loved every bite of it and inhaled the whole thing in minutes. I'm still dreaming of it now. I also loved that there were so many vegetarian options. 3 or 4 - that was almost half the menu. I want to try them all! The food is definitely five stars, but the staff, despite being super friendly, was just very slow. From the moment I entered, it took me a good 25 minutes until I had my burrito. It was crowded, yes, but the whole operation just seemed to be so inefficient. I wasn't in a rush, so it was ok, but I'll definitely keep that in mind for future visits. Of which there will be plenty!
