Best Mexican restaurant in Singapore

h	haoxin board on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Ordered for delivery and food was 3/5. Lower rating given for poor service. Ordered for food to arrive at 12.15pm, called restaurant at 12.50pm to check on order and was told that delivery rider was uncontactable hence they were sending another order that would arrive in 15mins. After 40mins wait, the food still had not arrived and had to call restaurant again to check on delivery. When food finally arrived at 1.35pm, there was no apology and just a delivery man who nonchalantly telling us that the pick up was late. Not sure will be willing to patronise them again after this experience.
D	Deborah Sze Choi on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Hole-in-the-wall Mexican joint serving up delicious and affordable tacos. Service is a little slow because it seems to be run by one or two people. Seating is minimal and not terribly fancy but it’ll serve.
M	Mavis Seah on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Pleasantly surprised with the food. Tried the Beef Cheek Taco, Barbacoa Taco (Lamb shoulder) and Picadillo Nachos. Chef mentioned that the Lamb Shoulder Taco was baked for 8hours and sure enough it was very tasty. Would visit this place again.
S	Steph on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Heard good reviews for Mexican food here and decided to come here. We got barbacoa tacos, chicken quesadillas and the vegetarian portobello mushroom quesadillas. The food was great and they do have a wide variety of Mexican hot sauces. Their Mexican soda just taste like regular flavoured Soda drink but they do pretty when they display on their counter. Gotta minus one star because the vegetarian quesadillas had some traces of minced beef. Was shocked that they mix up vegetarian food with meat together. They should pay more attention to how they prepared and make their food.
C	Chunwen Huang on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A really small stall nestled in the first floor of Novena Regency. Tables were not cleared and had to request for them to clean up. Ordered the Carnitas Tacos (Pork Shoulder - $8.50 for 3), Barbacoa Tacos (Lamb Shoulder - $9 for 3) and Baja Fish Tacos ($9.90 for 2). Am usually not a fan of mutton but personally preferred the Barbacoa and Baja Fish Tacos to the Carnitas one. Also ordered the mango and pineapple Jarritos ($3.50 each). Honestly pretty good but a shame they only have soft tacos. Also, location isn’t very easily accessible but otherwise if I’m nearby I’ll visit again!
H	HAONAM LEE on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Literally a hole in the wall hidden deep within the building (can it even be called a mall?), lies this little Mexican place. Tacos are smaller than other places but they come in sets of 3. Piled on with generous servings of meat that’s flavourful and hearty! What I liked about this place was that their tacos were made to order and served hot! If you want more fire, feel free to add any of the 4 hot sauces they have. The ghost pepper one killed me
T	Tricia Mesina on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great hole in the wall restaurant. There are only a few dining tables since they occupy a small area. Ordered the Lamb and Chicken tacos plus wings. The Buffalo Wings are great and portion size is big. It also goes with the ranch dip which I wish they gave more. The meat in the tacos are also soft and juicy and it goes really well with the sour salsa. Good value for money if you want some cheap but great Mexican food ?
N	Natalie Toh on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visited this place three times this year and I’ve ordered the tacos, quesadilla and enchiladas. Taste is 10/10, I love how everything is perfectly seasoned and comes with a nice spicy, tangy kick. The pork filling in the tacos just melts in the mouth. There’s a range of hot sauces to try and add the extra kick. The enchiladas don’t look amazing, but it’s my favourite dish in terms of flavour. Couple the dish with a refreshing Mexican soda! I had the watermelon flavoured one, and it did a great job at reliving some of the spicy goodness.
