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!!

Had a lovely meal with our 3 kids, went in early 5.30 and table booked put again at 7pm. Waitress was fab, attentive to children, burritos were first class. A brilliant authentic experience ! Small restaurant adds to the intimacy of it all, a little bit of Mexico right in St Ives.

I got lucky here and snagged a table without booking but I recommend booking on busy days as it's small place. The service was friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, perfect nachos, and seafood fajitas were bang on. I may also have had a margarita or two which hit the spot. Fyi, they don't allow dogs.

Cosy, friendly, something different. Margaritas were good although they were served in metal glasses that looked like surgical instruments. Small menu which covers the essentials. Chicken burrito was better than the beef which had too much sweet BBQ sauce in it. Plenty of sour cream. Overall good value and very enjoyable.

Absolutely delicious! If you know how Mexican taste is, then you are safe here. I would just take off the pomegranate seeds to be 100% more Mexican but I feel it gave the colors for the dish. Staff is friendly and lovely We had take away and the packing was great! We will come back

Very cosy restaurant with the best Mexican food my entire group and I have ever had in our lives. The service was very fast and accommodating, and our waitress was extremely lovely. Would absolutely recommend, make sure you book a table beforehand!

Good Mexican food is hard to find in the UK, but The Mex certainly hits the spot. My partner and I enjoyed delicious starter dishes and mains, but ran out of space for dessert.
