Cantina machito

Very good food, nicely prepared. Staff very friendly. Place looks very colourful. Better to reserve a table, especially weekends.

Very good mexican food. I lived in Mexico and was missing the food a lot. This place was bringing me back to good memories. Highly can recommend it!

Delicious food in an authentic setting. I like the decoration and the indoor garden.

I am not a foodie at all but this place made me LOVE Mexican food. Delicious. The atmosphere is great, the waiters are great, the interior is super cosy and authentic.

Nice place with air-conditioning during a heatwave in Barcelona. Excellent ( and cold ) margaritas, totopos ( Gluten-free !!! ) and hot sauces. Unfortunately the guacamole tasted pre-made / store-bought with some freshly cut avocado pieces added to it. Only one vegan option and not many vegetarian options, but like I said: air-con and cold margaritas.

Don't miss this place... the best Mexican food I have ever tried 👌.Polite waiter was always smiling and was talkative. The interior design is fantastic.

Very authentic Mexican food, highlighting various regions of Mexico. I recommend the appetiser sampler and the five tacos if you want to have a variety of different dishes and flavours. No need to order the guacamole as it comes with many dishes. The seats are not the most comfortable and they need a better wine selection. Overall, one of the best Mexican restaurants in Barcelona!

Nachos with cheese and guacamole are amazing 5/5 The tacos and chicken dish were unfortunately a bit too cold! Very nice though, but the food was a bit too cold. That's why 4 instead of 5 stars. Friendly staff and a great atmosphere!

One of our go-to Mexican places in Gracia. Tacos are really good. Good small selection of different Salsas that are on the table (some super spicy). There are a few tables outside, but also plenty of space inside. Service is a little slow though and we've encountered some order issues, but staff are friendly.

Food was delicious, came with my family and we tried a little bit of everything, no regrets! Service was friendly and food arrived promptly. Highly recommend the michelada w/Clamato. The restaurant decor is authentic with great Mexican music in the background truly transports you to México! You can't go wrong with this place. Buen Provecho!

Lovely staff but average food and quite expensive. The stewed tacos were pretty bland and the chicken tostada was fresh but only really good when covered with hot sauce. Prob would go elsewhere but that's because I'm obsessed with LA Mexican and it's a far ride from flavour town to be honest. Nice guac and cocktails though !

Cool Mexican themed restaurant with street side seating available , great ambiance, menu only available in Spanish , they did not have any alcohol free beer but normally have it available. The restaurant was quite busy but we were quickly seated. Ordered enchiladas, tacos , food was fresh and quickly served. Our food was meh and nothing to write home about The food was flavorless and the tacos were too greasy and not worth eating

Fantastic food. I have been many times and I love the beer with margaritas ice cube. The place is in the heart of Gràcia .

Pros: deco, food presentations, portions. Cons: food didn't taste as it looks, food over priced. The tostada de ceviche Verde taste funny. The tostada de pollo, chicken taste like tuna. Guacamole taste like nothing.

Again, i'm grading this on a Barcelona scale, which gets stars for some effort, but would really be a messicant in LA Decor: it had some of the requisite elements that make this restaurant feel like a beachside cantina. the mexican/spanish tiles, brightly colored sidewalk tables, red, white & green paper flags strung across the ceiling... food: my friend got the nachos (9,50 euros ???!!!???) he was served a plate of tortilla chips, and a bowl that was half melted velveeta, half some sort of jarred tomato sauce trying to be a salsa. with a couple of sliced jalapenos on top. The description however said cheddar cheese... this was not cheddar cheese. DO NOT ORDER NACHOS HERE! at $9 it would be a rip-off... but we're talking euros... so for about $13 he got a plate of tortilla chips, velveeta, and not even rosarito brand salsa from a jar. blech! I ordered a plate of 4 tacos. (12 euros). the plate did come with a salad. and despite my request for no cheese or crema in any of my tacos, the 2 slices of corn on the cob were topped with some type of dairy (eye roll). I also got a tiny little cup of black beans, and a tiny cup of pico de gallo (both of which should have been included in the nachos for that price). The meats were fine, but that taco plate, for about $16? no way. overpriced for what it was. Service: When we went in to pay, we saw there were all of the extra salsa bottles, stored on a table. I'd have totally added the spicy verde sauce to my tacos - but upon dropping off our plates, our server promptly rushed off. so not only did we not get asked if we wanted/needed anything, we had to go inside to pay. Service - not that great in general, but we're in spain. I'm not sure what the recommended dishes are, but if they can't get the basics right, what can they do right? 1 star for attempting mexican food 1 star for decor 1 star for, uh... hmmm... there are 3 stars... what's the 3rd for? hmmm... i know there must be something else, but i'm drawing a blank now. It's not for the EPA... oops? (thanks to Rick Perry) oh - and one more strange thing... the ladies bathroom was full of little gnats/ flies... ewwww. I should really downgrade this to a 2 star review but i'm feeling generous right now.

This is great Mexican food. Being a Mexican from California, you won't find much better in spain, salsa have kick and meat is flavored. The Sangria!!! The best. Chips are a little too hard, but great Mexican food for being in Spain.

I loved the guacamole and the ceviche was delicious. Very cozy place, nice waiters and quick service. I would love to go back.

Gave 4 stars for deco and service. Great atmosphere. Food was good but not great. He votado 4 estrellas para la decoración interior y el buen servicio. El ambiente estaba muy chulo. La comida esta bien pero no magnifico.

Great Mexican food in Barcelona! Prices are okay but you get a lot of food per dish and they have a great choice of Mexican beers. Got an appetizer to split for the table and an entree and didn't come even close to finishing it! Easily the best Mexican food I've had since being here.

It is somewhat of a crime to eat Mexican food when in Spain but this place got highly recommended by a friend who lives around the corner. First of all I love the atmosphere, reminiscent of cantinas in Mexico, this place has a pretty sweet vibe to it. We were in a group of 5 so ordered a bunch of sampling plates to make sure that we got to taste everything they had on offer. Sadly to see that the perception of Mexican food is melted cheese and tortilla overdose. But the most disappointing was the complete lack of spice. Now, I know that Spain does not do spice but if you have a Mexican restaurant you have to turn the heat up right? We had a good time but it was not because of the amazing food.

A very good place if you want to eat Mexican food in Barcelona. The prices were ok'ish as was the service.

I went to this place with friends when we were visiting town. Such great neighborhood with lovely streets. We walked by this place and it looked intriguing and of course Frida's eyes called my name, so we went in, and LOVED this place. Great food, ambiance, and delicious drinks. I definitely recommend their ceviche and guacamole.

This was a great experience. Lovely atmosphere and delicious mexican food!
