“ Best Mexican I've had in Europe. It took me back home with the flavors, spices and colors! The service was as warm as it is back home and we were very well looked after. If you want real Mexican food then there is no thinking to be done, go and enjoy it in this amazing place. ”
“ Looking for authentic Mexican food in Europe is usually a challenge that ends in disappointment. Thankfully, Chac Mool breaks this pattern. We only stopped for a quick taco lunch, but the quality was impressive enough that I'd definitely return to explore more of their menu if I'm in the area again. ”
“ I thought the tacos were average compared to what I've had in the past. Some were pretty good but some tacos were really basic in their flavour such as meat + cheese. Maybe it's my fault because I can see the ingredients of the tacos on the menu when I ordered but zi assumed it would have things like onions to help with the flavour. They offered multiple hot sauces which were good but do not make up for the lack of flavour with some of the tacos. The owner and the staff were lovely! ”
“ We are from California so when we stumbled onto this taqueria in Cascais, we had to give it a try. The chef/owmer, Jose, is from Mexico City and his food did not disappoint. The margarita with tajin rim was the perfect accompaniment to the tacos al pastor we ordered. I highly recommend getting guacamole to add to the tacos as the perfect touch. Red and green salsas are brought to your table as soon as you sit. Both are house made and delicious. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can ask to try their extra hot (perfect blend of smoky, fruity, and spicy) salsa. In fact, we loved it so much, our teenage daughter asked if we could come back for lunch the next day! ”
“ After many years of trying Mexican restaurants across the world, I was so happy to eat here, finally a great one!! An explosion of flavors, each plate brought excitement because of the delicious way it had been considered, and prepared. This is REAL Mexican food, and it brought joy to my night in Lisbon. This place is one to remember! I’d definitely go back to try more! ”
