El Mexicano

Don't understand why people don't like this place......this is one of the best restaurants in town!

Food is always great with well priced lunch deals (2 Tapas and a glass of wine for £6!), staff are very friendly and helpful, atmosphere is nice and relaxing and great in the summer!

Everytime i go back i try something new!

My wife and i eat there all the time and would definitely advise anyone to go there either for a light lunch or dinner......on a Wednesday they also do 241 Fajitas! Great!!!!!!

Best Mexican in Brighton!!!!

Normally i wouldn't bother reviewing anything, However, twelve of us went for a meal at El Mexicano, We had the table booked for weeks in advance and were told it would be ours from 7 till 9pm. We were not greeted well, the staff were moody, we were rushed through are meal and all of us would agree that the standard was poor! Don't bother spending your well earned money here!

Best Mexican food i have tasted

lovely atmosphere and nice polite staff

Good all round offers and best Margaritas in Brighton

With Bar Valentino upstairs this place is a hidden goldmine!

Would definately go again.

Thanks!

If your lookin for a romantic night out do not even bother goin to this place. Worst place ever. staff ask you if your ready to order every minute.. food is over priced and manager is very rude.

SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN!

The best Mexican meal that we have had for a long time. Very good service for one waiter running the show. We are looking forward to going back on our next trip to Brighton.

we were asked for our order 3 times within 2 minutes, when the food came it was o.k but we had a problem with the way the meat was cooked. when i asked to speak to the manager he was incredibly rude and could not take any criticism. i was told that i was completely in the wrong and that i should leave- after having paid my bill for the over prices food may i add.

average food but over priced and terrible management

i couldn't recommend it less

My boyfriend and I went to this restaurant on valentines day (my choice)

The restaurant itself was very nice, a cute small size very romantic. The food I ordered was awful it made me literally want to cry. It was probably just a bad choice i had made when it came to the food but it was still way over priced for what its worth.

Within 2 minutes we had been asked about 4 times whether we were ready to order!!! this was very irritating and made me feel rushed. The restaurant was not busy so there was no need to rush.

The mints at the end were really nice though and i was given a rose at the end.

Do not get the traditional mexican dish called Mole unless you know you like it because it was awful!
