Considering we had quesabirria in CDMX for $1, these seem pretty pricey. They were good and the consume was nice but not worth the €7 price tag. The tuna tostada tasted ok but the color was off. The service was very nice though. Both women were very attentive and helpful (even with my basic Spanish). They offer a menu del dia for lunch for €14.90 with nachos and tacos.

Great place to grab tacos and tortillas! Tequila shots are amazing! The staff are all very nice, especially Lisa’s at the reception who kindly explained menu details in English!

As a Mexican, I can say it met my expectations. On a scale from 1 to 10, I give it a 10. Lisa was a phenomenal hostess. She truly was amazing in all aspects.

Nice variety of Mexican dishes and overall a good experience. I tried the taco arrachera, quesabirria, tacos al pastor, and flautas. My favorite was definitely the quesabirria, but the others were also really good. The only downside was that the pastor tacos came out a bit cold for some reason. The michelada was tasty, though one side of the rim had sugar instead of salt, which I didn’t really like. Maybe using something spicy or doing two different seasonings on each side could work better, but sugar’s not my thing. For dessert, I had the tres leches cake, which was also quite good. I’d go back.

2 nights in Barcelona and we visited La Mafia Mexicana twice! The food was delicious… super friendly waitresses (Lisa, and I can’t remember the wonderful lady’s name, who served us the first night). Highly recommended
