After 12 days in Europe these Californians were sorely missing Mexican food. We'd spent a week with…read morefamily friends in Germany and about 5 days in Paris. While we ate and enjoyed the local culture we all wanted something with a little more spice. Our daughter was the one to find Fajitas. It's a great find in the Latin Quarter where we stayed. The chips and salsa were actually some of the best we've had even in California. We all ordered enchiladas - chicken mole enchiladas and my husband had regular chicken. Mole enchiladas are my daughter's favorite and there's one place at home which makes them to perfection. She said these were very close to her favorites. We've covered the food which was AH-mazing - your tastebuds will not go wrong here. The service was really delightful. Our server was friendly, helpful, and attentive. Also, I have to give all of the servers +10 XP because in Paris almost every store, restaurant, etc. is multi-story. Where we were seated to dine was one floor down from the main street. The way down.... a rather long metal spiral staircase. I can't even walk two feet without tripping on a piece of dust. I don't know how these servers make it all the way down a narrow spiral staircase with hot plates of food. We still think fondly of our meal that night and should we return to Paris, we'll be certain to stop by for comida.

After spending a majority of the day at the Versailles palace, my wife and I were ready for dinner…read more After browsing a plethora of options (there is not a shortage of dining options in Paris), we agreed to Mexican food. Ironically, the restaurant that we chose, El Guacamole, was a five minute walk from our hotel. Although the inside and outside seating of the restaurant was quite busy, an employee was able to quickly seat us at an indoor community bench that had just become available. We placed orders for the following: Frozen Margarita (wife), Frozen Passion Fruit Margarita (myself), Nachos Con Queso, Choriqueso Quesadilla (wife), and Deshebrada de Res Burrito (myself). The delicious drinks arrived five minutes later and the food arrived in less than 15 minutes. The Nachos Con Queso was a delicious starter that we shared and set the expectations for what I thought would be a good overall meal. Unfortunately, this was not the case. Respectfully, the food lacked flavor. My burrito probably would have been good if served with sauce, same with my wife's quesadilla. We both used the remaining sauce from the Nachos Con Queso to add the desired flavor. Knowing that we had to doctor up our own food, I cannot give a positive review in good faith. We reside in California where the bar is set pretty high for good, authentic Mexican food. Therefore, maybe I should have lowered my expectations for Mexican food in Paris. This review is solely my opinion of our experience, I suggest trying the restaurant for yourself to form your own opinion.

Holy Guacamole!…read more I've been wandering around Europe for 2 months, and I came in here from the Google reviews, the tacos are exactly what you need! The meat was fall apart good, the toppings were just enough for your taco, and the meal filled me up perfectly. The staff speaks English, Spanish, and French, they're incredibly helpful and warm. My waitress recommended the three top selling tacos and sent those my way, I'm glad she did- I'd have been lost to choose. 10/10! The inside is a tight fit, with small tables outside as well, inside is mostly 4 seaters with a 2 seater individual table by the window, the music is loud enough to hear and quiet enough to easily hear your company. The food is great, the ambiance is wonderful and authentic, and the staff is kind.

Ok, I have to confess that, after 10 days in Paris eating complex, rich, wonderful food, i was…read moreready for a hamburger. Do you hate me for that? I mean, I know it's Paris. How could I muck up the works with a friggin Hamburger? I don't know why or what came over me. I was just ready for something, well, basic. Little did I know what was in store! We came upon this place whilst simply strolling (as one does in Paris) near the Bastille. The place looked good (whatever that means), so we gave it a try. The main attraction, if you must know, was this gorgeous, gleaming burger-and-fries on a plate that somebody ordered as we were walking by. Between that and my burger craving, I knew I had to try it. So all four of us ordered a burger. a couple were "cheeseburgers" (because it sounded weird to say that in French). They came to the table and were just as glistening and gleaming as they were on the stranger's table where had first seen them. Our waitress was a lovely girl from Iceland. In France, nobody will speak English to you (or they will and then curse behind their back), so we had been getting along fine with our "fairly conversational" French. Well, this girl picked up our probably lousy accent and jumped right into English, explaining that she had been dying to practice it. She had come to Paris to work and go to school, and she made the experience even nicer. In Paris they don't just throw a frozen patty on the grill. Nope, this was freshly-ground sirloin or mignon, hand-formed and cooked to absolute perfection. It was almost transcendental to take that first bite: while I knew this WAS a hamburger, it didn't taste like the drivel from Carl's or In-and-Out. This was prime beef, fresh and perfect. The cheese was typical French: fresh and full of flavor and bite. No American cheese here- thank heavens. Big ol honkin' buns, with lettuce, pickles and tomatoes on the side. A quick word about the produce in France: Forget what you've tasted. The produce in other countries tastes amazing. You know how tomatoes don't have much flavor? Well, they do everywhere else! So THAT'S what tomatoes are supposed to taste like! (the bulb went on). That added to the wonderful flavors mingling in our mouths like star-crossed lovers in an orgy of taste bud nirvana. They topped this whole conflaguration with this velveeta-like stuff they termed "cheese fondue." Ok. But it worked! Great burger. Different than here, but just amazing. One final word about the pommes-frites (french fries). French fries in France are to die for. I don't know how or why, but they are. You're just going to have to believe me on that one. I could eat these all day long. They're light, delicate, rich, potatoe-y, salty, thick, crunchy, soft, oily, flavorful, yummy creations from heaven. This place hit it on all counts. What a great accident. If you're in Paris and need a burger fix, get yourself over here pronto. It's right across from the Bastille monument. Can't miss it. Thanks for the memories!

There is nothing Brooklyn about this place, there is nothing Tex Mex about this place. We stopped in for a cold beer as we were walking around on Day 1. We ordered 4 pints of beer that were all on draft and nothing crazy (Edelweiss and Desperado). We got a second round. 2 beers for 4 people. 75 Euro. Really? It is now Day 8 and we constantly joke about how much that place was ridiculous. (Sure we had a fabulous 3 course meal with a bottle of wine for 3 people at Express De Lyon but why do that when you can get 8 beers at Indiana). Avoid... there is much better options for everything they have. Trust me.

Both tasted really fresh, and was enough food to be full but not stuffed. This seems like a healthy enough option if you're in the area or feel like trying something new, but I don't think I'd go out of my way to come all the way here to try it again (although wouldn't be against coming back if I was with a group that wanted to try it out). Also the stopper bottles filled with sauces (soya, sweet, and spicy) are a really cute/original touch! For two sushi burritos with two drinks (formula uno) we paid 22 euros

Meh... A giant sushi roll is how my wife described it. But…read moreas a sushi and burrito lover, this place combines two awesome things yet drops the ball on the delivery. I had the Cancun (tuna) and my wife had the Samurai (chicken). We both supplemented the burritos with drinks, chips and guac, and a dessert. 16€ for the combo +2€ for tuna brought the total meal to 34€. Although the ingredients are fresh, the tuna fish is not a good quality and the sauces in the burrito overpower the taste of the fish. There is also not enough protein in the roll. Where as in regular sushi, the fish or protein is the star of the show, in this production it seems as if it is very much an afterthought. Even the sauces (soy sauce, sweet sauce, hot sauce) on the table are generic and boring. The chips are of the tiny store bought Paris variety and the guacamole is whipped and unremarkable. The dessert was passable. I had a chocolate chip cookie and my wife had the carrot cake cupcake. The price is definitely a premium for what we had but this is definitely a food fad kind of place. I've had it. Checked it off my list. But I don't see myself going back soon.

Now for the nitty gritty. I came to meet a friend for lunch at noon. The place was crowded and it was hard to squeeze in between the two tables to get to my seat (mostly because they weighed two tons and I couldn't slide mir over one inch). The restaurant has terrible accoustics, it was so loud for lunch I had to practically read lips when having a conversation. Ambiance is a bit cold but hopefully they'll work on that.. As for food, I ordered a burrito. And it was only 6€!! I added a supplement of guacamole for 1€ and a supplement of spicy salsa for 1€ as well. The guac was freshly made, and a solid serving. The salsa, however was not spicy by any TexMex standard. I would not have paid extra for that, especially since there was a bottle of free Tabasco sitting on my table. My second biggest gripe was that the burrito was not folded so that it could be picked up and eaten by hand. I was obligated to cut it with my fork and knife and I found that somewhat burrito blasphemy. Taste-wise it was OK. I got the veggie option and it was a bit lacking in flavor. The tortilla hadn't been warmed and was a bit tough as well. My friend got the tortilla soup which came with chips, cheese and sour cream for 6€. It looked tasty and was a hearty portion. All in all, I'd be willing to retry this place in a few months but I'm not dying to get back right away.

Vegetarian dishes are the highlight here, meat and eggs can be added for extra. Then you walk upstairs and see the uniquely decorated "home" that puts a new spin on "eating in". We came for the weekend brunch 12-3pm. All orders placed at the counter consisted of a couple croissants, a light entree, a dessert, and all you can have coffee, juice, baguette, butter, and jam for 24€. We were given the pastries, and a buzzer to collect our entree and dessert when they were ready from the basement kitchen. So you'll definitely need to be with people who can walk up and down stairs while holding plates- and maybe more than one plate if someone needs to hold a spot at tables. It is pricier than other brunches nearby, but it is also a novelty and part of what you're paying for is the unlimited nature of the buffet and time you will occupy the adorably decorated but limited space.
