We happened to be in Basel for an event yesterday and I got the urge for Mexican food. We checked Yelp for something close and La Piratita was the closest and also sounded the most like 'real' Mexican food. We weren't disappointed.
Knowing it was Cinco de Mayo, I wasn't sure we'd manage to get in but took a chance. Lucky us, we were seated at a table outside on the patio next to a large group of celebratory Americans (luckily, we're Americans too).
So, in short, margaritas were excellent, the La Piratita 'Taco Party' that we ordered was fantastic and probably the most authentic (if I actually remember what that is anymore) Mexican food I/we've eaten since we left the U.S. Also, the service was excellent as well.
FYI - They also have some really excellent tequila.
Within a couple of bites both my wife and I knew that we'd be returning for more. Yum! read more
