Awesome vibe! We had such a great time soaking up the sun on the balcony—perfect spot to relax with a pineapple cocktail in hand. The atmosphere was lively yet laid-back, making it an ideal place to unwind. Perfect location for Friday cocktails here after work. The food? Absolutely to die for. The Mexican street corn stole the show for me - beautifully presented and incredible unique flavours. Every dish... Read More

Absolutely excellent! Some of the best service we have received in a very long time, from every member of the staff. The food is truly outstanding and the venue lovely. Would come and hang out for an extended time anytime.

Beautiful Mexican food. Fresh beautifully cooked fish tacos, chargrilled beef, spicy crispy nachos and THE best Burnt orange, roast almond drizzle dessert known to mankind! Wow! Best ever and fabulous service. Very intimate place and great for group of friends too! A must go to!

What a fantastic experience! The young owner went out of his way on a Friday afternoon to get me a non alcoholic Devils Peak lager when my wife mentioned I drank it and they didn't have stock. The food was soooo much better than any Mexican restaurant I've ever been to in South Africa ...and I've been to quite a few. The service was excellent and I am sure... Read More

Absolutely love this place! It has been our second visit and definitely won’t be our last. The saudero taco is to die for. I’m not even exaggerating. The food quality is amazing, the vibe is great and the staff is absolutely wonderful! Highly recommend this restaurant ♥️

What a 10/10 experience! From the host to the food to the drinks - everything was amazing! We went as soon as it opened on our first day in Cape Town, and the setting was absolutely stunning. We tried 4 dishes based on our host’s recommendations (definitely trust him!) - every bite was mouth-watering.

On Thursday afternoon, my business partner and I agreed that enough is enough, June and July’s winter was cute, but August was pushing it. It’s absolutely freezing for no reason at all. After a shared rant, we decided to distract ourselves with belly-warming spicy food. Not just any spicy food, Mexican. Tacos, nachos, churros… and of course, margaritas. So it was settled, Mexico (in Cape Town), watch out, here... Read More

I was in Hout Bay the other day and came across this Mexican restaurant / tequila bar which I have not been to before. I was so pleasantly surprised how awesome this place is! It was some of the best Mexican food I have ever had, and the frozen margaritas were unreal, make sure you order the jug, (or 2!). I have heard that it has new owners /... Read More

I went to this lovely establishment for breakfast with my beautiful girlfriend. We both ordered the cleverly named “Not so English breakfast” and the breakfast dishes come with free coffee so I was very happy. We were served by Kamva, he was absolutely amazing and attentive. He recommended the breakfast item since I was so hungry, the food came out quite quickly, it was presented quite nicely on these... Read More

If you are reading this review and considering dining here. Before I go on, make the reservation, it’s worth it. Mexican food is one of my favorites and I hardly pass up an opportunity to try the cuisine whenever I get a chance. There are some bigger name venues in more trendy locations within Cape Town, and having tried a few of them I can say that Mexicola is... Read More

Kamva was an excellent server! He went out of his way to make us bloody Mary’s (not on the menu) from scratch!!! I’m talking cooking tomatoes and jalapeños, blending and straining them! Who does that?! Absolutely incredible service.Great food and atmosphere too!

Outstanding. Warm and friendly service, excellent food, quaint and warm interior that was the perfect backdrop for an excellent night with friends drinking & eating. The food is absolutely exceptional and for the three of us we simply kept ordering 2 dishes at a time until we could barely move... the staff gave wonderful recommendations and for the 2 of us that hate coriander, they chuckled & made sure...

Absolutely incredible food and vibes! The venue is modern and spacious and the staff make you feel so welcome as soon as you walk in. We had the most incredible frozen pineapple margaritas (would absolutely recommend!) to start our meal off and shared some appetizers that were fresh and delicious. The nachos were my absolute favorite, super flavorful without being too spicy and it was a generous portion. If... Read More

Can’t fault anything.We went for a Saturday lunch, so it was understandably quiet- this has the potential for guests to receive substandard food and absent-minded service. Not a chance, we were greeted at the door with a smile and said we could sit anywhere, all staff smiled and greeted as we walked outside. We had a pineapple margarita and a virgin raspberry margarita, both recommended by our waiter and... Read More

Loved loved loved!!! I’ve been wanting to try out this restaurant for ages but have been hesitant because it looked small and super rustic but I can’t wait to go back! The definition of don’t judge a book by its cover. The staff were so warm and welcoming and I would go back just to visit them. The food was DELICIOUS- every item was full of flavour and it...
