Taco Macho

Taco Macho

(1 review)

Let's start with something very important to a review of a Mexican (strictly burrito) place in the…read moreUK; I'm American with about fifteen years in the food industry on the perpetual hunt for great food. Taco Macho is a hidden gem, and it shouldn't be surprising that it's the #1 place to eat in Exeter on TripAdvisor. Although I've constantly complained to him about how long it takes to make a burrito, it's also my fault because we're both talkers. He makes all his ingredients fresh, and hand picks all his ingredients because (we've discussed this) he'd rather pay more for supplies that are of a better quality which means he needs to do his shopping instead of going through a supplier. For about £7 you get a burrito that is the best you're going to find (I'll have another review of the taco place in London later) in the UK, I've searched. They're American sized burritos, and absolutely DESTROY the other "Mexican" place across the river, and is the third best burrito I've ever had; the two others are no longer in business and were toward Columbia MD, and the other was in York PA. The flavor is very well balanced and have a nice combination of spice and occasionally citrus notes. Many of the Brits have turned up their nose, and the only reason I've been able to put together is because they're not used to an abundance of flavor in their food - That's not a jab a British food, but an observation from living there for about two years. There are beef, chicken, and sometimes vegan/vegetarian options but that may change in the future; I've never asked about veggie options. Overall, the hours are short (about 1100-1600 Tuesday-Saturday, but that may have changed), so call ahead and hopefully the number provided is both accurate and if it's accurate hopefully he'll pick up; check Facebook for up-to-date hours. If you go in, you could probably tell him the Gringo that was always in flannel sent you, and you won't regret it. However, if you find a better burrito in the UK, somebody needs to tell me because I don't think it's going to happen. Hopefully that was helpful. Keep on eating.

We moved from LA to NJ USA, both places with sizable Mexican populations; so were pleasantly…read moresurprised when this place in Cornwall UK delivered. We expected substandard Mexican fare, but we were wrong. We were on our way to a Chinese restaurant down the street from our B&B, but the Chinese place was empty, and Senor Dicks was packed, and that is why we changed our mind and gave it a try. First the bad, which isn't very bad at all: Most Mexican places in the US start by giving you complimentary chips and salsa. Not so here, but they have a chips, salsa, guacamole, and sour cream appetizer for £3.95. The chips, guacamole, and salsa were so-so; and were delivered with the entree instead of before the entree. Now the good. The house margaritas were excellent. My wife ordered chicken burrito, she said it was remarkable. Kids ordered enchiladas, one with green sauce one with red sauce. Both said they were excellent. I ordered green chili pork enchilada with green sauce. It was as good as anything I get at home. A comment about the enchiladas: there was one per order and it was the size of a burrito. Usually back in the US there are two or more and they are a fraction of the size of a burrito. The staff was friendly. The facility was clean and modern and colorful. Strangely, between the wait staff, buss staff, and bar staff were heard dishes drop to the floor and shatter no less than four times. But it didn't dampen our experience. We highly recommend this place.

Great little place, came in without a reservation on a busy Saturday night and the staff found us a…read moretable in two minutes. Delicious drinks (mojito and a mango margarita) and very tasty food ! Was a great end to our holidays in Newquay.

Stopped at Mexican Cantina in search for Mexican food. Mexican food has been sparse here in…read moreEngland. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Mexican food here at the Mexican Cantina. I ordered the shredded pork chimichanga with refried beans. The pork was pretty awesome but the refried beans were none existent in a scientist point of view, "there was a trace" of refried beans. I got guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream but no salsa. Where is the salsa? I told the waiter I would have liked hot sauce with my chimichanga, and that I never had Mexican food without salsa before. He offered salsa to go on its own. What am I supposed to do with a salsa to go?!!! The perks? Amazing and awesome chili tequila. Best tequila I've ever had in my life! I had four shots. It is quite spicy and the spiciness crept in minute after minute after the shot was consumed but I didn't care, I wanted more. Will frequent again. Loved the chimichanga and the chili tequila. I will demand salsa in my next adventure to Mexican Cantina. To those that gave this place three stars, I'm from California and lived two hours away from Mexico. I know Mexican food, hands down this place is a solid four stars. Now if I said it was best Mexican food ever I'd be lying but it is for sure a four, this place actually gets Mexican cuisine right!

I would really recommend Mexican Cantina for somewhere to eat in Newquay. The staff were very…read moreaccommodating and managed to fit twenty of us in at short notice (unlike the other good Mexican who just didn't have the space). They also managed really well with the group all the food came out hot and at the same time which made it much nicer we didn't have to wait too long for it either. The food was really tasty and there was a good choice on the menu. There was also a great choice of cocktails and we all enjoyed a couple, the staff even made up a couple especially for the hen which were both very tasty and it was nice to get her something different!!

Las iguanas, an aromatic fragrant place to dine. The atmosphere was to a slight degree of class,…read moreelegance a stunning interior well laid out. Yet extraordinarily we were the only people to be in the establishment. Our food came swift and staff were all around quite chirpy and easy to talk to. The menu was interesting with a variety of foods yet we selected off of the rather bland and basic lunch menu (as we were having late lunch) the starters of chicken wings and nachos - not a pair two individual dishes: were rather hopeful, the wings were succulent and not drowned but not quite lathered in sauce 3 very small chicken wings at £2.85 a sweet deal for some... however, in comparison for the same price of £2.85 a very extreme bowl of nachos with what can only be said as a varied delightful set of topping which were licked clean! The disappointment was still to come. The mains were a tragic display of an underwhelmed chef , who simply slopped one enchilada onto a sea of what can be described as putrid, grainy black beans. The cheese on top remained unmelted just sprinkled on from the bag , not freshly grated , no bother to stick it under a broiler to melt the cheese and combine it into a surprisingly tasty enchilada. But we not only eat with our mouths and my eyes were severely devastated by the catastrophic mess that lay before me. Overall I give 3 stars would not visit again.

The first thing the host said to my friend, son and I when we entered this eatery for dinner was,…read more"I'll let you have the table for an hour, then I need it back". That will tell you everything about this over-priced, loud, arrogant, over-sized bar that pretends to be a restaurant. After being "allowed" to sit at the sticky, cramped table, we ordered drinks ($21 USD for 2 unremarkable martinis) and pondered the menu. We saw no sign of our server for a long time and after trying to hear each other over the high volume of chatter in the place, we decided to save ourselves the time and money clearly not valued by this establishment and spend it on a restaurant around the corner whose service and atmosphere were welcoming and professional. There are many fantastic, high-quality places to spend an evening for dinner in Royal William Yard, so do not waste your time in this one.
