Service is extra friendly here! I really appreciated the check ins, the smiles, and just the good vibes. I ordered the pork burrito and sadly it wasn't for me. The pork was extra salty and a bit dry. I asked for some salsa and received them smallest amount of salsa in this planet. Of course, come to find out it was the most expensive salsa I have ever had in my life (about 3.00 for a few spoonfuls). I think what it comes down to it, sure, it is a place to eat. But if you aren't interested in paying almost 30.00 for a salty burrito, salsa, and chips that aren't great, I suggest you skip. Now if you are coming here for the affordable drinks (5.90 they advertise) and the kindness, this is a great spot to hit up! To be fair, it is likely the pork burrito isn't the best choice on the menu. So if you are curious about the food, I say give it a try but be prepared to pay an insane rate for the side menu items (aka salsa and generic tortilla chips). read more

Las Ficheras - Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Lisbon, 11

We just spent over 20 hours traveling, and after getting settled in our apartment, we ventured out to find somewhere to eat. We were staying in the Baixa-Chiado area and after getting a little lost, we found ourselves here. Of all places to eat, a Mexican restaurant...LOL! I live in San Diego, which has some of the best Mexican food on the planet considering it's close proximity to Mexico. We thought, why not, plus we were hungry. We ordered the house margaritas which were very good and served straight up in martini glasses, different, but in a good way. We also had the guacamole which was more pureed with a fair amount of lime juice...pretty good! I wondered if they made their own chips, if they don't, they should and offer a little more since we ran out. However, I used the extra on my enchiladas. I ordered the chicken enchiladas and the partner ordered the chicken flautas. When they came out, we wondered where the rice and beans were, which are a staple with most Mexican dishes. The presentation was great! And both were very good, although my enchiladas could've been a little hotter. We then ordered the chocolate brownie dusted with chili powder and the passion fruit mouse made with tequilla, and cappuccinos. Both desserts satisfied the sweet tooth. I loved the spicy with the sweet dark chocolate! Overall, it was a very enjoyable dining experience. The staff was great! Even though we did not speak Portuguese, our cool waiter was friendly and spoke English well! It is a bit pricey from what I'm used to, but I would come back, especially for the other margaritas. read more

We are a U.S. family with vegetarian leaning kids and after a couple days of traditional Portuguese food and wrangling them to try and eat fish, the vegetarian options here won the night. We are big Tex Mex eaters at home and the highlight by home standards was the guacamole. Ask for more chips, they don't give you enough. My husband and I also enjoyed the shrimp tacos--spicy and decent by East coast US standards (which I know to be less than West coast Mexican standards). The veg quesadillas and veg burrito were passable with the former better than the latter and definitely decent kid fare. If you're like us and on the road with fussy American kids in this neighborhood, we give this one two thumbs up. read more

Maybe I won't be fair in this review because I have better experiences with Mexican restaurants in Warsaw, Poland, for a lower price. Anyway, I wouldn't mind spend 14€ for a dish if would be grad-A, but is not the case here. Pros: decoration, space is big, really kind staff, good margaritas, good starters. Mango dessert is delicious and looks great Cons: Price, size of dishes (small for the price), could have more options I really miss having more options, and for the price the portion could be a bit bigger. But for us, this is international food and some types of foreign cuisine are still expensive in Portugal. read more

As a college student studying abroad, we popped in here late night to grab a bite to eat. I am not thoroughly impressed. The service was relatively quick, but the food was mediocre and overpriced. The high of the night was the guacamole. That was gas. read more

Not great. 14 euro chicken enchiladas - the sauce was weird and oddly sweet, the edges of the tortillas were burned, and the chouriço seemed excessive and out of place. My wife had the shrimp tacos which were actually 75% guacamole with three little shrimp on top covered with a sickeningly sweet dark sauce. The guacamole also had pomegranate seeds in it. The margarita was good but very small and seemed to have very little alcohol. It reminded me of Singaporean Mexican restaurants. Our waitress was Mexican though, so you would think she might tell them to fix their sauces. You would be better off walking a few more blocks to Pistola y Corazon. read more

Food was nice but very expensive and unlike our favourite mexican restaurants, was not filling at all. Quesadilla lacked filling and was poor version of cheese toastie. read more

My friend and I had just hopped off the train and stumbled upon this place and it looked good so we went for it! And it was great! We're from California and had been Mexican. A bit ironic to have Mexican in Portugal but they put a nice spin on it. Mostly good because everything was very fresh. Servers were friendly. I even got free tap water! read more

Venturing into a Mexican restaurant outside of the States (or, Hello!? Mexico - duh!) is often a dicey prospect. I have been as gravely disappointed (and gastronomically disabled) in Edinburgh as much as I have been pleasantly surprised in Vienna. So with that said I would really like to give Las Ficheras four stars because, let's face it, I'm an easy grader. But today I am not rounding up, close as the score may be. Three stars it is. That's not to say the food was bad - it was actually pretty good for the most part, but I have a few objections. First, we ordered the pico de gallo with chips. This came out presented in the manner of nachos - chips splayed out on a tray with pico already sprinkled on top. I would vastly prefer to get a ramekin of pico and a bowl of chips for dipping. Maybe it's just what I'm used to, but it is, to my mind, a more thoughtful way of allowing the eater to interact with the food. Next, I ordered the Halloumi cheese tacos. Let me state that this is a brilliant idea. Halloumi is a versatile and delicious cheese and actually works as a stand in for a salty Mexican cheese like Cotija. The rest of the dish is composed of a single corn tortilla, a wedge of tomato, spears of roasted eggplant, pine nuts, and (I think) a fried leaf of basil. OK, in concept, this is amazing. The flavors are well considered and I was actually impressed that the single tortilla held up to the rigors of the eating process. My big gripe is the spears of eggplant. I've been a vegetarian for more than a quarter century and I've been fed eggplant six ways from Sunday. Because of its skin, eggplant is not a vegetable you can just bite right through - it always pulls the other contents of the taco/sandwich/Bedfordshire clanger (it's a real thing, look it up) out and screws the ratio of intended flavors with the first bite. My suggestion would be to make the eggplant into a paste - a la baba ganoush. That way the flavors marry and the taco integrity stays intact. Also, the pine nuts are a tad gratuitous. Maybe scrap those and add a flourish of diced cucumber instead, which would play better with the cheese. Just sayin. Service was fine and beers we're inexpensive. read more

First of all, you will not find good Mexican food in Lisbon, there is too much of a cultural difference. So the food here was Portuguese interpretation of Mexican food. Pricey, not great food, not great service. But the really bad thing about the experience is that I got food poisoning, and spent the night hovering around the toilet. UGH!! read more

Fancy prices. Fancy looking food. But taste and quality doesn't match. Bark is louder than the bite. And this coming from an American who's eaten plenty of Mexican food. read more

OKAY place.. didn't really enjoy paying 14 euro for some refried beans and tortillas (only vegan thing they could make on the menu). When I asked the waitress if they could give me those items as a side order she was very rude and said no and then went to complain about my request with the manager and other waiting staff. So strange. Overall the food was okay, but far from good. I wouldn't return to this place. read more

Service was prompt and food was a solid 7.5/10. I've certainly had better Mexican food, but if you're looking for some good guacamole, chimichangas, or tacos in Lisbon this place is an excellent choice. The margaritas and cocktails were also great. read more

Excellent variety and taste but a little on the expensive side. We visited this restaurant after finding it on tripadvisor and found it up to the mark. We returned back to this restaurant for its delicious Mexican food. read more

I'd love to rate this place on the food, but being turned away from a half full restaurant because they couldn't fit in a table of two was a touch strange. Being then offered to be sat in another restaurant and served their food was also strange. Oh well, based on the more recent reviews, I'd imagine the food will be as repugnant as the service. read more

Love the decor. Whoever planned it has a good eye for Mexican art and kitsch. The salad of the chef was excellent--the fajitas not so much.Service is slow.No greeting no goodbye no hasta luego . Oh well . With a little attention to service and food this place could rock. Manager seemed amnnoyed with customers and staff read more

Just arrived in lisbon and recommended this place by our Apartment conceige. It had a good menu and the food was well presented and tasty. Prices were good too. Its a British thing I know but didn't like it when someone started smoking in the restraunt . However would still re-visit and would recommend. read more

If you are looking for authentic Mexican cuisine, this is not it. One of the staff even admitted that no Mexican person works here, which explains a lot. Disappointing quality for a high price. Portions are on the small side. The only benefits of this place: close to the river, open late, quick (almost rushed) service. read more
