Absolutely brilliant, the specials they had on were amazing, starters were also brilliant as well. Honestly our bill was about £40 and we paid a £10 tip on top for the service and the food coming out so quick!!! The only complaint I would have is that it’s on a busy street so with the door open it can be loud and ruin some of the atmosphere BUT that’s not the restaurants fault, also make sure you call in and book because tables go fast!! In Cornwall all week and this was the best meal out of the lot! Highly recommend for couples/families/anyone who enjoys good food!!

I went here with my husband. Our meals were delicious. We only had main courses and that gave us was plenty of food. The restaurant was cozy but wasn't too crowded at the time. Friendly service too.

This is our 5th time dining at The Mex. Always enjoy the food and drinks. The margarita is especially delicious 😋 The staff are always so lovely and friendly. A great find for authentic Mexican food in an intimate setting. I highly recommend. As always will be back next year on our next trip to St Ives.

We were very lucky to get a table (definitely book ahead). The staff were warm and welcoming (the owner had to deal with a particularly difficult customer and handled it really well). The food was excellent!
