They offer a different menu but are just as tasty. 2. We were craving burritos but opted for tacos and quesadillas so we could try multiple meats, including carne asada, pollo asado, carnitas, al pastor, and camarones. We initially ordered 2 tacos and 2 quesadillas (on the smaller side) but everything was so good, we couldn't not order a round 2. 3. Prices here are a bit high, but it was worth it especially since we haven't had tacos and quesadillas in awhile. 4. Highly recommend!

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. ;)

The restaurant was lovely inside - great decor, cozy, and excellent dim lighting. The cocktail menu was HUGE and varied. Lots of fun mixed drinks - would be a great place to go out with friends. The outdoor patio had great lights and a fun vibe too. On a Monday evening it was not too crowded so we didn't need a reservation. My kids and I were seated quickly. Based on recos here, I ordered the nachos and they were the best thing we had. They were stingy on the cheese, but the beans and guacamole were great. Salsa was not spicy at all, though :( The chips had a great texture. My kids ordered the chicken burrito and were disappointed, because it comes packed with vegetables inside and was not really spiced with Mexican flavors. I tried it and liked it, but it wasn't exactly authentic. (Which is fine, this is why we like to try Mexican food in other places!) One burrito was plenty for them to share, though the amount of chicken was less than I expected for the size of the burrito. Prices were in line with other places we've eaten in Zurich. Our waitress spoke mostly German so we muddled through our interactions but she was very kind and understanding :) The cocktails seemed very expensive, but I think that's typical. Nice atmosphere, OK food.

Another great place in Oerlikon, very close to Chayenne and with quite similar food (Mexican…read moreprofile) is Tres Amigos. I think the fact that these two very similar restaurants are so close to eachother and still manage to be full almost every nice in a suburb of Zurich is an indication that they do indeed serve good stuff :) One advantage over Chayenne is that they serve food all day long, even between lunch time and dinner time (Chayenne only serves snacks then). We visited the place twice. Once we ordered fajitas and it was just enough for two people and the other time I ordered a chicken burrito (it was huge), while my boyfriend had something like beef with lemon and tequila sauce. I liked the food every time and will definitely go back. Prices are high, but that's Zurich... P.S: great Apfel strudel as well :)

Fries were hot and also fresh, the shaker of table seasoning was nice (possibly old bay). This is one of the better and least pretentious meals I've had all week including a McD burger that had a nasty red pepper yogurt dressing for 15 CHF. PJ's is much better and fresher than an Applebee's. I didn't try the ribs so I can't compare to a Chilis. I would say the food is closer to a Red Robin for quality and taste. Portions are generous as well. Like everything else about Zurich it's expensive for what you get.

The restaurant was nearly empty and they tried to sit us in a a two-seater so crammed in to the next one, we had to ask to be reseated. The second one was only slightly better. I ordered pulled pork tacos, which came with fries, and my husband ordered the cheeseburger and fries. He deemed the burger mediocre and enjoyed the fries. My three pork tacos looked great. The flour soft shells were fresh, the pulled pork was tasty but COLD. I had a glass of decent Pino Grigio. My husband had tap water. Our waiter never came back to check on us. We walked up to the bar to ask for our bill. The guys said, Thanks, have a good day." I said, "We need to pay." Our bill was $60!" Suffice it to say we were disappointed. Don't bother!

The people working here are very friendly and attentive. The cocktails are fantastic. I was really impressed with them! And the jalapeño margarita is freaking spicy, but yummy. So, the food was good, but I wasn't completely blown away. We ordered the vegetarian tacos, and the stuffed poblano pepper with vegetarian filling. We came here with some good friends and they ordered the same, except with meat. Funnily enough, my husband accidentally got the poblano pepper with meat, and didn't realise it until he ate half and I had a taste. What an absolute goob... some "vegetarian". But I digress. I really appreciate how much care they give to their customers and I do love their cocktails. Their food is very expensive for what we ate. Yes, we only had vegetarian (sort of... haha) so maybe the meat options are a bit tastier. In the end, we had a lovely evening.
