What a sweet lovely restaurant. Ate here last night early as was going to the cinema. The lovely couple were friendly and attentive. My food was beautifully presented, hot and delicious. I was the only person in but I sat at the window and it didn't feel quiet as music was playing. Had a great chat with the couple and they made me feel very special and welcome. A lovely little gem in the heart of St Ives. Would definitely recommend and come again. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Lovely unpretentious little Mexican cafe. Their all homed cooked food was exemplary, and very reasonably priced; and the service friendly and attentive. Going there was one of the highlights of our short winter break. Shame it can't be closer to where we live.

Visit here about once a year and it always delivers! Great portion sizes, well priced but most importantly quality tasty food. Booking recommended as it's a small restaurant. Burritos are highly recommended. Located bang in the centre of town too. Nothing to fault here.Parking: Launderette car park is closest.

Mexican restaurant in the heart of St. Ives. Good food and services. Ordered the burrito and not disappointed. Highly recommended!

Another super meal and service. Seafood fajita really sizzling, Mexican garlic bread brilliant and huge meat quesadilla. Closes around 8pm during winter but really worth a visit. Good value and highly recommended.

Amazing food. A lovely staff. The lady who was serving us was so polite and smily, gave us a good mood for the rest of the day. The Sheff made tasty dishes in Mexican style ? ? Go and try something new. Even with so small space inside, you would never believe that there is so tasty food and a warm atmosphere.

A lovely local restaurant with charming service and exceptional value. Really pleased we found this little gem. The portions are ginormous so be warned. It was also my birthday and it was a lovely place to start my evening. Thank you

I'm sorry to be negative. The food was bland, we love Mexican and visit restaurants often. Friendly service but no real atmosphere or effort in decour. £3,50 for a multi can of coke, literally a can on the table. Never

Small, family run restaurant. Food was really tasty and freshly cooked. Menu is uncomplicated but with something for everyone. Service was really good. Highly recommend

Had such a great evening with family and everyone enjoyed their food, lovely little authentic restaurant with a nice relaxed friendly atmosphere. Great food including fish tacos on the special menu, and sizzling steak fajitas, ribs, nachos and finished with churros. They also serve lovely margaritas!!! Definitely worth a visit.

I always visit this restaurant when in St Ives, to me, it’s perfect! Everything you could possibly wish for in a restaurant the Mex delivers. The food is fresh and truly delicious, actually mouthwatering, service attentive and extremely friendly, good portion sizes and reasonably priced. We have started visiting twice each holiday, think it’s going to be upped to 3 as nothing else comes close. If you like Mexican food (surely everyone likes at least fajitas?) this is an absolute must so book yourself in and enjoy. Thank you Mex, we love our visits and will definitely be back next holiday.
