Oh delicious Bibi's! How did it take me so long to visit you? Now I know what I've been missing out on all this time. As other reviews have said, this place is small and you will need a booking most nights of the week. I phoned a few days in advance and could only get a table for 8pm on a Wednesday - they try to do their dinner service in two seatings, so it's either pre theatre if you're in early, or a la carte at the 8pm seating. When we arrived our table wasn't ready and so we were told to sit at another one, but then those guests arrived and so we moved to stand up again. The space is really small and so it's a little pokey/awkward - especially as the group who were at our table were asked to finish up and one of the guests seemed really miffed about this. Anyway, we were seated and given some menus, tortillas and margaritas while looking over the menu. I ordered the empanadilla with beef, chorizo & cheese to start, followed by the taco station. I had definitely scoffed too many tortillas but the empanadilla was delicious - served with a lovely sour cream sauce and actually quite big for a starter. The tacos were a mix of crispy corn and soft shell tacos and you can choose whatever fillings you want from about 8 options. I had refried bean, salmon and chicken which were all lovely. The chicken had some apple mixed through it which was odd but a nice twist. Our bill was about £24 each including tip and soft drinks and service was super friendly and helpful, even though they were clearly rushed off their feet. I can't wait to go back! read more

Ok, so perhaps I may have been a little harsh the first time around. Having been spoiled most of my life with some of the best authentic Mexican food around, I have extremely high standards. After another strenuous workout session with our trainer in Kelvingrove Park, we were ravenous. We quickly popped home to change, and headed out. Lumberjack suggested Bibi's, which is down the road from our flat... I was hesitant, but I figured I would give it another go. Random aside... funnily enough, over dinner the other night with a fellow American, we were just discussing how British interpretation of Mexican food is sooooo beyond off. These attempts are noted, but never satisfy the bill. She was telling me about her adventures of seeking Mexican in London... while I explained I've given up, and have been fulfilling my Mexican food needs at home with my very own tortilla press. *sigh* Anyway, so I approached Bibi's with the mentality "this is not Mexican food... this is not Mexican food". Upon arriving, we were sat at our table by the very friendly hostess and served complementary margarita shots. Half of the 10/11 tables were occupied, which included a birthday party. The service was great and friendly. We were served chips and salsa, which I was pretty pleased with. Followed by a chicken quesadilla start... also pretty tasty. Then we both had beef burritos... now these burritos were OK, but it was like they used Hormel canned chili (google if you're not familiar) with chunks of CARROTS for the burrito filling. I always tell my friends back in Mexico about the things they serve here in the UK, and we all get a real kick out of it because it's so not Mexican (especially the chunks of carrots in burritos). I only ate about half of it and I was done. So if you take the approach that this is not real Mexican food, then you'll be pleased with the freshness and satisfied. I've bumped up the rating by one star because of that said approach. read more

This review is tough to write because, well, I know Mexican food really well! Bibi's has decent food, but it is far from Mexican. I lived in Arizona the last 7 years and have been to Mexico quite a few times, and I have many friends that are Mexican that have cooked me some mean Mexican food. If it wasn't for such outstanding service and the fact that they had Negra Modelo beer, this may have been a 2-star review. The prices seemed a bit extreme to me, even though many other reviews found them reasonable. 15£ for 3 tacos is not very reasonable in my book. I opted for the steak and onion tacos off the a la carte menu without the aioli. The corn tortilla was crisp and fell apart on first bite, not to mention it seemed like a store bought tortilla, which for £8 for 2tacos I expect better. The steak and sauce on the inside was interesting, was almost like a barbecue sauce chilli mixture or something...Didn't taste bad, but not what I think of as a carne asada taco for sure. My friend ordered a chicken dish, which came out on foil. He said it was good but while trying to eat it, the foil kept peeling into the food as he ate it with the fork. He asked if that was normal to serve a Mexican dish that way, and I said the only thing I have ever seen served in foil were tortillas (on the side) or if you ordered something for takeaway. Aside from that he enjoyed the dish. Another person got the veggie burrito and there was no complaints, so that is good. I ordered the chips with cinnamon and honey, without the ice cream for dessert. It was alright. I would probably go for some of the other desserts reviewers have mentioned instead. Anyway, Bibi's is worth giving a shot since so many people seem to like it. But if you really know Mexican food simmer your expectations, or maybe pass and go eat some good Scottish food :) read more

I've eaten at Bibi's many times and it's one of my favourite restaurants (and luckily for me, in my neighbourhood!). It's a cosy wee place, the atmosphere is welcoming and relaxed, the food is delicious and the service is always very friendly and attentive. The complimentary shot glass of frozen lime margarita and freshly made tortilla chips with salsa and will get you off to a good start whilst you have a look over the menu. I'm vegetarian and always have a few choices on the menu. My favourites are the chilli rellenos (big jalapeno peppers stuffed with cheese, coated in breadcrumbs, deep fried and served with sour cream, salsa and salad) and the vegetable chilli burrito with tomato and coriander rice - yum! Sadly, I've never had any room left to try the desserts... a challenge for my next visit perhaps! read more

I honestly thought I was missing out having never crossed the threshold of this somewhat legendary Glasgow restaurant. Everyone I'd spoken to told me, with beaming smiles, how good their food was. So Bibi's ¿que pasó? As it was Cinco de Mayo (the Mexican St Patrick's) a few of us sat down for cervezas, food & margaritas. After a pretty tough day, I was really hungry & in need for a cold Dos Equis or Pacifico Clara, so I thought Bibi's was the perfect choice. First off, the restaurant seems to have been done out an old Mexican farmhouse, but it seems to have seen better days (in the same way that Gambrino was classic Italian, before its refit). The restaurant is really quite small with around tables, you get the feeling that you could bang elbows with the people around you quite easily. The group behind me was quite noisy towards the end of our visit, which made it hard to have a conversation (although admittedly I am fairly quiet). Having got caught in the rain & walked in dripping wet, I was quite chuffed to find a complimentary Margarita waiting for me after returning from drying off (thanks!) I chose a starter of goats cheese with black olives red pepper, with sweet pepper jam. It was presented breaded and fried, looking a bit like an escalope, with a small mixed leaf salad. It was really quite nice, the cheese was warm, but not scalding hot, the crumb looked a little overdone, but was actually spot on, the problem was that the dressing on the salad & the pepper jam tasted like they were out've a bottle, the salad dressing especially was overly vinegary & punchy. For my main course I chose a Veggie burrito with a side of Guacamole. When it arrived, the burrito looked pretty small & the Guac was even smaller. The burrito was served on a bed of rice which was described as being done in the Puebla style, but it was tasteless and made with carrots and peas, it was more like boil in the bag rice than anything else. The burrito was decent, but not really worth £10 on its own. The whole plate lacked flavour, apart from another helping of the super vinegary mixed leaves. The Guacamole, oh dear god, it was just wrong! No tomato, no chilli, little citrus but celery? Guacamole is Mexico's gift to the world and this little bowl was an afront to the idea. Although it was only £1.50 as a side, such a small serving should've been included with the main course. I had such high hopes for Bibi's and honestly, I came away a little upset, for around £20 I felt pretty full, but not convinced I'd had a night in a restaurant often held in such high regard. Oh Bibi's why you gotta do me like that? read more

I can't believe I haven't already reviewed bibis, as it is one of my favourite places to eat in Glasgow. It's a wee hidden gem at the bottom of Dumbarton road. It is small so try and book in plenty of advance as it can be a busy little place. I love bibis as it never let's you down. Their pre theatre menu is amazing and at £11.95 for 2 courses great value. When you arrive you are given a shot of frozen Margarita. The place is small and cosy and the staff are friendly and fun. My fav thing to have is the deep fried jalapeños filled with cream cheese.. Be warned some can be much hotter than others. For mains I have the shredded pork dish which is really tasty.. read more

Like the walking cliché that I am, I wanted to eat Mexican food on Cinco de Mayo. So original, right? Well, whatever, Mexican food is awesome all year round and this gave me the excuse to try Bibi's - something I'd been meaning to do for ages. We booked a table for dinner. Once we were seated we were handed complimentary nachos with a good, fresh, spicy salsa. Oh, and they also gave us a shot of frozen Margarita each. This is important because it lead to a great discovery: You can have a pitcher of frozen Margarita for £14.95. How could we resist? So, we ordered that, a Mexican sharer platter for a starter, the beef burrito and the chicken mole. Bibi's was busy, people who showed up without bookings were disappointed. However, it never felt hectic, we were perfectly relaxed (possibly something to do with the cocktails) and never felt hassled for our table by the staff. The restaurant is small but perfectly formed and perfectly managed. The starter was great, and a brilliant way to try a bunch of different flavours. Even my usually very fussy partner got stuck in. The mains were similarly delicious, my chicken mole came with two large juicy chicken breasts and a rich mole sauce, as well as small tortilla wraps, rice and salad. How did we wait until Cinco de Mayo to visit Bibi's? Now I can't wait to go back. read more

It has taken me forever to get over to Bibi's and try what I believe is the only Mexican place in town that I haven't visited. Well, that's remedied now! I was impressed to be handed a gluten free menu on request - apparently the owner is gluten free so the restaurant is really accommodating. Awesome news for me! I was really happy to see a gluten free option for jalapeno poppers (called chilli rellenos here, but this New Mexican knows chile rellenos to be a totally different dish.) They were really good and not crazy hot. For my main, I went for the steak fajitas. Now, they did accidentally bring me actual flour tortillas to start, but luckily I realized they were too good to be true (gluten free). I double checked and they took away the gluten and brought back gluten free wraps instead. I was less wowed by the fajitas; the meat could have used a bit more seasoning. The peppers and onions were nicely caramelized and the side of sour cream, salsa and cheese was the perfect size for the amount of meat and tortillas I had. I didn't manage to try a margarita (it was lunchtime) but I'll be sure to check them out next time. What a great find in walking distance from Partick station! read more

Let me just say that overall I really enjoyed this place. However, being from Texas and growing up with both authentic Mexican food and TexMex, I have some pretty high standards. So when I ordered vegetarian enchiladas and they came out looking like an Italian dish (even coming with a side of bread instead of beans or rice) I was a little surprised. My friend ordered the same and after trying the dish, we both felt that it tasted like spicy lasagna. Now let me just say - I thoroughly enjoyed it and ate the whole thing, including the side of bread....but it tasted nothing like enchiladas. The cheese was not quite what you'd expect and the sauce tasted like spaghetti sauce. But like I said, it tasted pretty darn good to me. My boyfriend seemed to order the right thing - he had a chimichanga and a quesadilla appetizer. Both of those dishes looked relatively authentic and apparently tasted great (I'm a vegetarian so I didn't get to taste them). When I go back, and yes I plan on going back - I am going to check out the vegetarian fajitas or possibly a quesadilla. This place has a very inviting atmosphere and the staff is super nice. I was more than happy to come in here and eat the chips and salsa that they put out when you first arrive. So overall I say its a winner, but if you are looking for authentic Mexican food, maybe don't order the vegetarian enchiladas. read more

To quote my Dad, "I can't believe I am eating outside at such a nice restaurant on Dumbarton Road." Context, Dad lived in Glasgow as a student many many many moons ago. He had flown in that morning from abroad and wanted a quick but nice dinner as close to my flat as possible. Bibi's ticked all this bizarre criteria. I did warn him, that we might not get a table due to the size of the place. I was right, but it was a pleasant enough evening so we decided to sit outside. This soon resulted in the other 4 tables also being occupied! Great business for Bibi's as extra covers, and people are always attracted to busy places. We both ordered the blonde beer, and I got to have both of the baby margaritas. I think it's such a nice idea to over a sample, as well as enticing people to order a full-size one. One day I definitely will be. The salsa and chips were so fresh, causing us to order an extra plate (#greedy). For mains, I had a beef burrito, extra spicy with guacamole and my Dad had mixed chicken and beef fajitas, with guacamole. We like our avocado okay.. The burrito was good, but not spicy, although I do have a high spice tolerance. Saying that, it was well spiced and the guacamole was again really fresh. Dad's fajitas had so many components we had to pull the table next to us over! The staff were really accommodating of us doing this and for the fact my Dad wanted both beef and chicken in his fajita. They also were more than willing to grab more tortillas if needed. Thanks other yelpers for your reviews which resulted in me bookmakring and loving here! read more

Only recently have I discovered the phrase Mexi-can't. It was introduced to me by a Mexican friend who explained that it's used to describe the neverending stream of overseas Mexican restaurants that spectacularly fail to produce dishes comparable to their homeland. This constitutes "nearly all of them", apparently. Well, Mexicans, I've got news for you. While you've been busy mocking the UK's feeble attempts to produce authentic cuisine, Glasgow nipped in and claimed a place of its own. Bibi's on Dumbarton Road is a small but perfectly formed restaurant with fantastic variety on the menu. The speciality is, naturally, the fajitas, with the tequila-marinated beef a particular favourite of mine. Perhaps the only downside of the restaurant is part of the appeal, with the venue so small that often elbow room can be at a minimum. For those who embrace this, it can create a more intimate atmosphere. Furthermore it also helps for a subtle dunt in the ribs of any Mexican guests who tries the food here and still claims it's a "Mexi-can't". read more

Ok, so this place has been reviewed a wee bit and the concensus is good. I'm not really covering new ground here. But after the jazziest wrap I've ever tasted, my stomach has taken hostage of my brain and I have to add to the commendations! I passed by Bibi's with a gurgling belly and a sun-sleepy head, not expecting to find such a gorgeous restaurant this close to the motorway. There're some lovely shops along here and small coffee houses, but Bibi's jumped out at me with its airy, classy exterior and upmarket look. Before I knew it I was browsing the takeaway menu, deliberating whether or not to burn some cash on even more food (I'm a bit of a hungry hippo ya see)! I made the good choice when I unwittingly missed my bus - oops - and the smell sunctioned me in. Not only is this gorgeously decorated, but it's super chilled out and the staff are so friendly compared to - well, most places I've ever been, actually. I opted for a gorgeous wrap with feta, spinach, fajita chicken, creme fraiche and just about everything good about this world spilling out of it. I devoured it like I'd been stranded on a desert island with no sandwiches for a week, and have to say it was bloody delicious. So I may be adding to an array of praise, but the good words about Bibi's stand as an indication of its quality. I took my bus speeding by me as a divine sign to enter - take note of these reviews and do the same! read more

This is now the way my brain works: 'OK, so both Emma K and Fiona S like this place... maybe I should give it a go'. My pre-yelp brain would never have considered this wee joint as an eating option, for two main reasons. 1: It's out of the way and really would not have existed on my radar if it hadn't of been for Yelp 2: Mexican food (or the way we try to do it) just ain't my thing. Here is the part where I praise Yelp for directing me to this cracking wee joint: Oh thank thee Yelp for drawing my attention to this fine little (and I mean little, 20 covers?) eating emporium. Here is the part where I tell you why I liked it. No it's not authentic, no it's not just like being in Mexico. But hell if it ain't tast grub. Wee went for the early bird offer of two courses for a tenner. Great portions, well cooked and flavoursome grub, excellent and quick service and Margaritas that made my wife do a funny noise. I really liked this place. It's so small and cosy, espcially when it's a tad on the chilly (chilli?) side on the outdoors. Summing it up in five words: Cosy, tasty, yum, margaritas, mexican. Bye now. read more

I love Bibi's... some reviews point to it not being authentic and I admit I would not know as I have never been to Mexico. What I do know is the food is super tasty and the service is great - It would really surprise me to hear of somebody getting a bad meal from this place. I love the free Margarita you get when you arrive and usually it does what I guess it is meant to and gets me ordering a full jug of the stuff. (Alongside a beer of course - a Negra Modela Especial) Starter - wise "Spicy chilli & paprika ground pork crispy taquitos" & "Mexican meatball & tortilla soup served with organic bread" are both great. Mains - The fajitas are obviously great and if you don't fancy them then go for "Shredded pork in a spicy chipotle sauce with rice, warm flour tortillas, fruity salsa, guacamole & crème fraiche". The service is great with the staff being very attentive and they do some great "early bird" offers for cheaper meals. The last thing you expect at this part of Dumbarton Road is a really great Mexican style restaurant, but that is exactly what you have in Bibi's read more

So I headed here on a Wednesday night with some of the other senoritas from the tri club - booked in advance to ensure getting a table as I'd been told it was quite small! After our whole group arrived we were brought a complimentary shot glass of margarita and we promptly followed this up by ordering a pitcher! All the other girls went for fajitas (where the guacamole/cheese/salsa/sour cream and the tortillas are refilled for no charge should you require more!) where I went for the chipotle pork. Very tasty and generous in portion size, pretty spicy (but probably not best to gulp down margaritas to quench the spiciness!). Our toppings refill was a little slow to come and they appeared to forget about our second pitcher of margaritas but they totally balanced this out by not charging us for the second pitcher! I'll be back - want to try the fajitas now! read more

Potentially the best Mexican food in Glasgow! I love this place with no doubts about it! Where to start? It's tiny!!! Maybe 10 tables MAX!! Cosy and intimate. Brilliant if your on a date or if there is a group of you either is great! The food!! I have been so many times and If I could I would eat everything on the menu also it's not that expensive either! Staff every time have been very friendly! I don't think I can say one bad thing about this place and the best thing would be the free margarita on arrival! It's that good we get a jug every time!! Yay!! This place should be a must on your Mexican list!! read more

We were congratulating or selves to get a last minute table here on a Sunday night especially during Holiday season. The place was very busy and we ad the usual complimentry Margarita shot, I ordered a Modelo Beer and my Daughter a Strawberry Margarita. I ordered Meatball soup and Blackened Salmon, Sharon wanted Chicken Mole unfortunately it was off the menu, as were several other things due to the Holiday Season. She alternativly ordered Taquitos and Shredded Pork the food as usual was excellent but the service was not up to normal standard as they took a while to clear the table and take a second drinks order, we were not asked if our food was okay as other tables were also when we asked for the bill we waited ten minutes for her to pick it up the money in the end I took it to the counter myself. I did speak to the Manager about this and was given the excuse that they were very busy, not that busy that tables were all washed and reset. It will not stop me returning, it just drops them a star. read more

Bibi's is one of my favorite restaurants. I appreciate that it is not authentic Mexican, however I don't think Glasgow much competition. The food is tasty. The sangria was delightful. I enjoy that you get complamentary home made tortilla chips and salsa (as you would normally pay for this else where) and the little frozen magarita that is a lovely surprise. The staff are polite and attentive. What also helps is the price at the end of the night, for what you are paying I would recommend a visit. read more

I'd heard great things about Bibi's before finally getting around to trying it and I was not disappointed. We ate from the early dinner menu, two courses for £10, and still received the free welcome shot of frozen margarita (which tasted so good we bought a jug to share!) and homemade tortilla chips and salsa to munch on as we read the menu. The restaurant is tiny, so book if you want to go at weekends, but the food is great. Really tasty and generous portions. The staff are great too. Now that I've discovered Bibi's I will be going back soon :) read more

A coworker and I found Bibi's on TA one evening while searching for some of the "best of Glasgow." Bibi's was an absolute treat, we walked in with no reservation and were seated immediately. The restaurant was small, but quite cute! After being seated, we received a shot glass of margarita & some very awesome chips and salsa. We were hooked! We knew that we wanted a pitcher of the margarita and of course more chips and salsa! For an entree we both ordered chicken fajitas. I cannot even begin to explain just how good they were...well I'll say this, they were so good that we debated about visiting Bibi's the next night for dinner! The service too was excellent, our server was quick and attentive, she came by many times to check on us and see if we needed refills! I was surprised to find such good, authentic Mexican food in Glasgow. I must honestly say this place impressed me and on my next trip, I'll definitely visit Bibi's again! read more

Only walked by, but this little place caught our attention. A place we said we'll come back to, as the staff we ran into outside seemed super friendly :) My hubby went with his work, recently and reported about the food not being real Mexican spicy, tasted like someone put canned tomato sauce. Lacked flavor, and inspiration. read more

Despite having opened its doors in 2007, if you tell people you had dinner at Bibi's Mexican Cantina, most of them will stare blankly back at you. Unfortunately, the reason that the restaurant is so unknown to most is because of its location. It is situated at bottom of Dumbarton Road, deep in the West End, where most city-goers just wouldn't venture. Having lived in the area, I'm a regular and can honestly say, it is well worth the trip! When we walked in the door at quarter past twelve on a Monday afternoon, we weren't surprised to find ourselves to be the only people there. The staff greeted us and told us to take our pick of seats. We sat down and were brought menus and ordered drinks. We had two menu options: the lunch menu, featuring food that was more snack-like such as wraps, or the 'Early Bird Menu' which runs from 12pm to 6.45pm, and is priced at two courses for £11.50, or £14 for three. By my standards, this is pretty good value. We decided to have two courses, and for my starter I ordered the 'Taquitos' which are flour tortilla wraps, filled with spicy beef and deep fried. Pretty heavy for 12pm on a Monday, right? Wrong. The starters are perfectly portioned and are accompanied only by home made salsa and a salad. Usually, it would come with sour cream, but because I had asked for no sour cream with my main, the staff were thoughtful enough to remove it from my starter as well - a really lovely touch, I thought. The Taquitos were really crispy and the home made salsa full of flavour from a slightly heavy use of both onion and coriander, and just enough spice. The spicy beef mixture inside could have had a bit more of a kick to it but was enjoyable none the less. As for the main, I am ashamed to admit that I ordered the Fajitas - but bear with me, these ones are really good! With fajitas there is an option of beef, chicken, or vegetarian. I went for the chicken, which is marinated in tequila, triple sec, and lime juice. The chicken is brought to you still sizzling on a hot skillet, along with peppers and onions, a few tortillas, and some cheese and salsa (you normally get guacamole and sour cream as well, but I'm just not a fan.) The chicken was juicy and flavoursome, the veg was chargrilled and amazing. I know they are just fajitas, but they are damn good. I think the main reason I went for them is because, having been to Bibi's quite often, I know their menu, and have tried many things, and on this particular Monday, all I wanted were some tasty fajitas. I would encourage you to try their Mexican Stew, which is a mixture of beef, bacon, chicken AND potatoes - it is divine, but alas, was not on their Early Bird menu that day - it changes frequently so that you can sample most of their menu even on a budget. By the time we had finished our meal and asked for the bill, the restaurant had gone from entirely empty to almost full in an hour. This was Monday afternoon and they were actually beginning to turn people away. That, to me, is a testimony to the greatness of this little Mexican restaurant. The food is hearty, full of flavour, and relatively cheap, and even if you don't live in the West End, take a trip to Bibi's Cantina and you'll see what I mean. read more

I have been to Bibi's a couple of times a year for a few years now and it never fails me! It is a tiny gem on Dumbarton Road. The pre - theatre menu is a bargain with 3 course for under £15. The fajitas and pork are both dishes we raved over on our last visit while knocking back several different flavours of frozen margaritas (the best being original or raspberry). It is such a relaxed little restaurant with excellent friendly staff and delcious affordable food. As it is so small with limited tables then I would definitely recommend booking a table to avoid the disappointment of not having their chocolate and chilli tart in your life. I would really recommend visiting. I would happy to go back tomorrow! read more

I was really excited at the prospect of visiting BiBi's having read the great reviews on yelp about the "authentic mexican food". I arranged to have a final lunch with my friend before she relocated to Sydney. The menu on the website looked tasty and the price was right and it was 5 minutes walking distance from my flat, better and better! I ordered the vegetarian chili wrap, she the chicken. The spinach leaves on the side looked a bit sad on their own, more a garnish than a salad. I looked at my filling which on the menu was said to include guac, creme fraiche and cheese. I could see the guacamole, no sign of the cheese or creme fraiche. After the first couple of initial mouthfuls I took a gulp of water as the distinguishing taste was salt. It totally overwhelmed the delicious guacamole, and i could detect no taste(or texture) of cheese either. It tasted like instant chili, I ate the whole thing anyway as I had skipped breakfast in preparation. Very disappointing. I gave dessert a go and ordered the warm chocolate fudge brownie with ice cream. It looked tasty on arrival, although the serving of ice cream on the side was a bit measly. Upon first taste it was as nice as a standard warmed brownie, if not on the dry side. It contained quite a few burnt/hardened pieces that I couldn't eat, nor could I mop them up with ice cream as there wasn't enough. Overall, the staff were pleasant, great location. But next time I'll make other arrangements. read more

Ándale! Ándale! Arriba! Arriba! Epa! Epa! Epa! Yeehaw!!!!! That was sensational! all that was missing was my sombrero! This was one of the best Mexican's I've ever tasted. Bibi's came with some pretty good recommendations so decided to give it a whirl. On arrival we we're presented with complementary Margaritas, Tortilla chips and Salsa dip which was a nice welcoming treat and a great wee taster of the delights which were to come. Great menu, good choice. We chose the starter of Jalapeno poppers... Wow! If you like a good kick, these are for you. For main course I had the sizzling Fajitas and boy did they sizzle!!! This is how Fajitas should taste, nothing like the limp, white, bland excuses served by the likes of Pancho Villas. There was plenty of Tortillas and accompanying dips which were served, with a smile and "If you'd like more just ask and we'll bring them straight over." This place truly deserves top marks. Friendly staff, great menu and spicy, spicy, spicy. Whatever you do though, book early, its small and deservedly popular. read more

As an American ex-pat in Glasgow, I had all but given up on finding good Mexican food...until we stumbled upon Bibi's! We strolled up and couldn't get a table because they were packed full (usually a good sign!) so had a drink down the road at the Velvet Elvis. When we returned for our booking, we were seated and were all pleasantly surprised by the flavor of the freshly made salsa. 3 of us split a pitcher of frozen margaritas (even legit mexican restaurants in the States use margarita machines, see review below), and 2 of us had the burritos and 1 the pork dish. All of the dishes were outstanding and would definitely make the cut in a GOOD American Mexican restaurant! I am so happy to have found this little place only 5 minutes from my flat...I can see myself becoming a regular!! read more

I admit I know nothing about Mexican Food. I also heard about this place being near my neighbourhood so I decided to try it. The environment and personel were friendly and nice and I like small quiet restaurants some times. I didn't got the free to go Margarita and Tortilla chips other reviewers mentioned, but maybe I need to visit during later hours. I ordered a 2 way course, with chicken quesadilla for starter and fajitas for main lunch. I already found the prices a little expensive for 2 way course going to 11 pounds and with sweet to 14. So I was expecting some big dishes. But I was disappointed, I found the amount of food not enough especially for such a price. At least the food tasted ok. I don't know how things are in other Mexican restaurants, so my rating is not based on how Mexican it felt like. Maybe I'll try to visit once more for dinner and try something else from the menu. And hopefully get the free Margarita and Chips. Now I bought some Ben&Jerry ice cream for compensation of my empty stomach :P read more

At last! My boyfriend and I have been trying to come here since January, but they were always busy. Fnally we managed to get a table for our anniversary. So we managed to het there in time for the pre-theatre menu which was a VERY reasonable £14 per person for three courses. On arrival we were given a wee taste of frozen margherita and some tortilla chips and salsa which was a nice touch - especially when your hungrily awaiting your tea! To start, I had the beef and chorizo empanadilla which was quite wee, but i like that about Bibi's because massive starters leave you feeling a bit full. It was really tasty and not too filling. For main course we had fajitas- I had chicken and Ewan had beef. These were really good and came on a massive plate. For dessert, I had the cinnamon tortilla chips with ice cream WHICH WERE AMAZING. Not only was the food absolutely fantastic, but the service was quick and efficient too. The prices were really reasonable too -- we got a three course meal for two plus drinks for under forty pounds. If you like Mexican food, make sure you get yourself along to Bibi's. Its fantastic. read more

This has to be the best Mexican in Glasgow. I have eaten in almost all of the others , but continue to make my way back here every time. Authentic, tasty, well presented and value for money. What more can you ask for? Staff very attentive , the chef is even happy to offer tips on cooking the delights on the menu and recipes too. I love the intimacy of the restaurant being so small it feels almost like you are eating in someones front room. I cannot fault it Wendi read more

I had wanted to go to this place after hearing rave reviews so went with the family on a Friday night. Had to book in advance as the restaurant is very small. It was quite easy to find however we were driving so was easier than if you are walking. The service was very good and the atmosphere is warm and cosy. It feels like a little part of mexico but it isn't too cheesy with over the top Mexican décor. We shared nacos to start which were good but to be honest I could have made them at home with a pack of old el paso and it wouldn't have tasted much different. I got the prawn fajitas which were very good and the portions are very big. However I found the prawns quite hard to eat in a wrap..not the restaurants fault though! I ended up eating the prawns on their own (which were lovely) and had the wraps with the veg I was given too. My boyfriend has a burrito and said it was good but he still has the same views that all Mexican food is the same but done slightly different with a different name! I liked the look of the tacos and liked how you can choose different toppings for them, so would try them if I go back. We ordered sangria (not very Mexican) and it was very well made. I also had some margaritas which went well with the food. read more

Just back from Bibi's feeling absolutely stuffed. I usually can't be bothered writing reviews on yelp but this place was so surprisingly good I feel like I need to tell the world. I don't know why it says it's closed at the moment because it is open. The staff are so friendly! The food is great and reasonably prices. They have a lunch and pre theatre deal. The place was really busy for a Monday night too. That's always a good sign. I can't wait to take my boyfriend there! read more

Bibi's is a great restaurant. It is the best Mexican restaurant I've had in the UK. Authentic salsa, great chips and true fajitas. They have a great kids menu for the kids who have not yet appreciated the taste of Mexican food and the spice that comes with it. My girls fish and chips were great the other night and their meatballs were truly amazing, according the my 5 year old who is very picky about her food. My fajitas were like I get in Mexico, authentic. I had the beef steak marinated in triple sec and lime with all the sides that go with it, plus as much sides as I could dish on to the fajita and endless tortillas. Bibi's is a staple for eating out in Glasgow. Mexican in Glasgow, now if they just did a hagis burrito. read more

I popped into Bibi's last night to try the pre theatre menu. I never usually go for pre theatre as I hate feeling like I have been "cheated" from what restaurant has to offer. If I decide to treat myself to a meal then I like to go the whole hog. I decided to plump for three courses for £11.95; deep fried cheese filled jalapenos to start, vegetable fajitas for the main and vanilla cheesecake for dessert. Boy oh boy. Looking over my reviews, I notice that I have only given four five star reviews to restaurants. Bibi's has now made it a fifth. Not in slightest did I feel cheated. The portions were so big, I couldn't even finish my main or my dessert. And believe me, I shoved as much of the huge slab of creamy cheesecake into my mouth as I could possibly manage. It actually think it was the best cheesecake I have ever tasted. Next stop is the fabulous lunch menu which offers two courses for £8.95. Can't wait. read more

Love Bibi's cantina. Its intimate atmosphere and excellent Mexican food makes this probably the best mex restaurant in Glasgow. It's best booking at this place fills up pretty quickly on a Fri/Sat night. Try everything. My favourites are the Mex stew and the picadillo. Free shot of frozen margarita on arrival :-) read more

Bibi's is always a delight. The service is quick and friendly, the venue is warm and cosy, and the food is delicious! It's my favourite place to go for Mexican food in Glasgow. read more

Bibi's is tiny little box. At times you might feel as if you're sitting with another family, but, well, if you're nosey like me, then it's ideal. I ruined myself with the deep fried jalapeno's. They were so good that I stole some off my brother and sister and felt a bit bloated and sleepy before I even made it to the main course. The big dishes are everything you would expect in a Mexican. Nothing is obscure. All classics. You've probably had it all before. What I will say is that the finishing touches here and there are spot on. What makes Bibi's special is the cute atmosphere. The feeling that you're not just in another churning restaurant machine is nice. This is a fave restaurant amongst my family. If it wasn't so out the way then I'd be here more often. A goody! read more

Went on a quiet Wednesday night for the set menu. The food was very fast to come out and had great flavour, real Mexican food, none of this Europe take nonsense you see these days! I had the salmon and it was fab. Love trying food in ways you didn't think it could be done, inspired me to try it at home. The free shot and nachos when you arrive is a lovely touch along with the very friendly staff. Only issue my boyfriend felt was he serving sizes where a bit small but for 2 courses for that price I knew they wouldn't be huge. Will be back to try their bigger menu. I love beside it and they are always busy on weekend nights so highly recommend booking! read more

Great little Mexican Cafe/Restaurant. Run by the same folks who used to run Salsa. Food is great. Good lunch and early evening menus as well as a la carte. Very popular, I would always book ahead. read more

Had lunch in Bibi and the two courses I had were excellent, nice and fresh. Unfortunately I can't remember what they were! Will definitely return. read more

i mean...i'm from texas. and really i could stop my review right there, but i won't. i've definitely been on the hunt for good/decent mexican eats in glasgow, but it's damn near impossible to find. you and me are better off just making something in our own kitchen, this way you can add as much spice and guacamole as you wish. bibi's is probably the restaurant that has made the most effort and for glasgow probably served the best fajitas...but then, it's fajitas...it should be pretty easy to make. the margaritas were amazingly disappointing. i like that they give you a little sample, but it was crazy weak and watery. what else? starter wise i got the cheese pepper thing (which i read was amazing) but it was just made wrong and the cheese was really clumpy. also, for a pepper it was kind of bland, but had heat. always a plus. the service was quite friendly, but when i was there they were out of sour cream and seemed a little stressed out. it is nice and cozy, the decor is a bit cheesy/ify, but still endearing. so, i suppose that is that. huff. another mexican disappointment. read more
