El Guaca Mexican Grill

Now this is a restaurant to hype about. Firstly the staff were really attentive and welcoming. Luis was our main server and he had such an infectious smile and positiveness. We started with a few cocktails. A good cocktail is one you can't taste the harshness of the spirit but still get the kick...boy they were good so we decided to order the fishbowls on the menu. The fiesta nachos were filling with the right amount of toppings...the roasted salsa and guac were definitely the highlight. We were spoilt for choice with the mains, we gave into the enchiladas and the chimichanga. Both were brilliant and could have had a 2nd helping of the creamy salsa but it was sooooo filling. We would normally stop at mains but everything was so good, we had to give in to dessert and we weren't disappointed. The Banana Chimichanga was beeeeautiful! Genuinely so good...just the right amount of cinnamon and the dulce de leche with the ice cream which fused into a naughty sauce to enjoy the unique dessert. Coming here ruined my initially planned trip to Clacton-on-Sea coz I wanna go back for lunch and dinner tomorrow. Thank you for making my husbands bday trip memorable.

We had an absolutely brilliant experience! Walked in without a booking on Saturday late afternoon on the off chance we may get a table for 8 (4 adults, 4 kids). The staff were friendly, professional, warm and accommodating. They let us know they could seat us but that the table was booked in two hours time. The restaurant was filled with fun Mexican decor and a fantastic atmosphere, it was clean and followed all covid measures. The menu was impressive, with something for everyone and a particularly awesome vegan menu. The food was incredible and the service could not be faulted. We walked away with happy, full bellies and all agreed it was the best dining out experience we'd had in ages! Cannot wait to go again the next time we're in Clacton! And would recommend to anyone look for delicious authentic Mexican food and amazing service! Thank you El Guaca!

A very tasty starter and main - would've loved a dessert, the sundaes looked delicious, but we had no room! The staff were friendly and efficient and everywhere was clean and Covid-friendly. Would recommend a visit. It was sheltered, but wrap up or bring a blanket, if it's breezy, while we have to eat outside.

Fantastic! We visited Clacton just before peak season. We stopped here for dinner and it was fantastic. The food was excellent, the service was excellent, the staff were great and decor was a funky Mexican theme. You can also wear a Mexican hat as you eat. The cheese cake was incredible, probably one of the best I have had. Highly recommended!
