Casita Mexicana Südstadt in Köln

Great Mexican restaurant; you rarely find such quality in Germany. The wait staff can pronounce the menu perfectly in Spanish and are very friendly. The bar staff is Spanish-speaking. We found this very authentic. Our evening was wonderful, and after a few shots of tequila, we also got a Mexican shot on the house.

Hello everyone, the food was unfortunately a solid 6! The chicken in the burrito was unfortunately raw and unseasoned. When I asked the waitress about the sauce in the burrito, she told me she didn't know what was in it and that you couldn't put anything down. When I asked her to please ask the chef, she unfortunately reacted extremely annoyed, went to ask, and came up with a substance that definitely doesn't exist. I don't think she even asked, but then you could put the sauce down but it costs €5 extra. I ordered anyway and was incredibly disappointed! When we paid and didn't give her a tip, our waitress became even more unfriendly! When I tried to explain to her why she wasn't getting a tip from us and why the food was, to be honest, an insult to Mexican cuisine, she banned us from the premises! Worst restaurant in the whole of Cologne! Never again!

Everything was wonderful, we'll be happy to come back again. Top-notch service, and the food was delicious. 🫶🏻

Had a delicious meal there as part of a tour

Very delicious food and drinks. We had the mixed appetizers and the quesadilas filled with guacamole and pieces of beef fillet for the main course.

The best food I've ever had outside of Mexico😍 And, on top of that, super SERVICE ❤️

Will def come back, staff was attentive and so sweet. They spoke Spanish there too! We also got quesadillas and did not miss. Lover it here as a foodie !!

Well, I found the food to be abysmal and extremely overpriced. So, we won't be eating here again.

Nicely decorated, the food is okay, but not exactly cheap. The sangria is amazing! P.S.: It's strange that you apparently don't know your own menu 😅

A great surprise with this place. Delicious (simple) Mexican food at a reasonable price. The tacos pastor are highly recommended. Good service. They speak Spanish.

AMAZING OH MY GOD TRUE MEXICAN FOOD

The food is very good, and the service is also good, but unfortunately, it's very loud. Furthermore, the room is very large, and the brightly colored metal chairs aren't exactly comfortable.

The flavor was excellent. We ordered quesadillas with meat, but the portion consisted of only one. The tacos also tasted good, and we ordered a quesadilla for my daughter. Unfortunately, I only realized later that I was charged for an extra margarita, even though I only ordered one. Overall, it was good, but we found the waitress's behavior a bit rude, as she practically threw the plates on the table.

The food tastes very good. However, the stated portion is smaller. The stated portion is about 25 cm, but we only got 17-18 cm. As a result, the feeling of fullness isn't completely satisfied. Nevertheless, the shop is really nicely designed and the staff is friendly. In summary, if you're a little hungry, this is the place for you. If you want more, pay more or eat somewhere else.

Staff very friendly + super fast serving + good food :) totally recommend Pic is the especial burrito and tacos

Nice atmosphere, reasonable prices.

Unfortunately, my visit to this restaurant was very disappointing. The service was unfriendly and unprofessional. I didn't feel welcome. The food was also tasteless and of poor quality. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this restaurant.

Delicious food and lively ambiance

Unfortunately, disappointing – I wouldn't recommend it. I've rarely had such bad Mexican food. The burrito was carelessly placed on the plate, poorly folded, and the contents were disappointing – especially considering the price. There was nothing else on the plate other than the burrito. For the money, I would have expected much more, both in terms of taste and presentation. Overall, it seemed unambitious and unprofessional. It's a shame, but I won't go back and can't recommend the place.

Food was super tasty, but unfortunately the price was too expensive for the portion size

We stopped by spontaneously, and all the products were delicious! Whether tacos, quesadillas, or bowls—everything was great. Definitely recommended.

This is the first Mexican restaurant that I have found in Cologne that serves authentic Mexican food! It’s so good! I’m from Texas and I miss Mexican food / Tex-mex so much. This makes me feel like I’m back home. 🥺

Very tasty, but unfortunately not very cheap. Despite the light traffic, the staff isn't always very attentive—but all in all, it's definitely worth a visit!

We were walking past Chlodwigplatz and then, on a whim, stumbled into Casita Mexicana. A very pretty, modern-rustic restaurant, busy, and everyone in a good mood, that's what won us over. We received a very friendly welcome and helpful advice. We ordered burritos with two different fillings, both extremely delicious and, what we particularly liked, not in the usual Tex-Mex style. We were very satisfied and would gladly come back next time.

Food was delicious and very authentic Mexican food. Great atmosphere. Staff were friendly and I will recommend.

We spontaneously went to Cologne last Sunday, just to enjoy something nice in the warm weather. We first went to the "km 689 Cologne Beach Club" (there's a separate review for that), and then we got hungry. Since we hadn't had Mexican food in a while, we decided to go there. After a long search for a parking space (I'm not including this in my review; everyone knows what to expect when they think they can find a parking space in downtown Cologne), we finally went into the place. Nice atmosphere, just as you'd imagine. I ordered the tortillas, and what can I say... amazing! My friend had a cheese platter. It was roughly €14-16 plus a drink. So why not give it a full star rating? I know this will seem petty to many, but I don't think it's anything special. First, let's start with a little something. Regardless of whether it's German, Greek, or in this case Mexican, I've always known that you'd get a small bowl of homemade nachos, or some bread, tzatziki at the Greek restaurant, etc. When did this small gesture disappear? I know everything's more expensive, but it has to be included for the guest, who spends a lot of money these days. My conclusion... Great place, great food with one minor drawback that applies to all restaurants these days.

Delicious food, friendly service. We'd gladly go again.

The food there is good and delicious. You should avoid ordering. I've ordered pickup here twice, and there were problems each time. So it wasn't the delivery service's fault. The burritos weren't rolled properly and fell apart. A restaurant probably wouldn't serve something like that to a customer. Why they have an online ordering function that the staff doesn't use is beyond me. Online orders aren't accepted because no one responds. If you call, someone picks up immediately, and you can order.

Steak Tacos and passionfruit margharita is perfect !

It's become very oily and salty. It used to be much better. The meat quality has also deteriorated.

Everything is very expensive, they treat it as gourmet, and the portions are small. Mexican street food isn't expensive; you can't charge that kind of price for tacos or burritos. There is Mexican food that would be worth that price, but not tacos or burritos.

It's small, but highly recommended. The staff is friendly, and the food is delicious. We've always sat outside. You sit on Severinstraße, and the area is separated from the street by Plexiglas. Tables are arranged next to each other, and of course, you can hear everything from the next table, whether you want to or not. We'll go back when we're craving Spanish food.

Delicious Mexican food with a wide selection to suit all tastes. Also suitable for vegans and those who don't like spicy food. The lunch menu is worth it, although it's a bit more expensive.

Nice restaurant. Friendly staff. Food was authentic Mexican hot and very tasty Recommend

The food was delicious, definitely recommended! It was pleasantly busy, too. Dessert was forgotten at first, but was promptly delivered later.

Good quality, genuine Mexican food, wide variety of food. (I missed a real fajitas served in skillet). Friendly service and nice decoration.

The place is truly spectacular. I recommend the tacos al pastor! Luis served us, and he was truly phenomenal! He helped us a lot, and we'll definitely be back.

Super delicious, with cheddar cheese. And I've never found the Jamaican agua as delicious as it is here. The service is just a bit slow.

Blessed burrito, blessed Margarita, blessed the cook's hands LONG LIVE MEXICO! (...I suspected it from the start)

How I Ate a Burrito in Disappointment and Died Inside The decor is really great. Colorful, you walk in and think: Real, delicious Mexican food awaits me here. Think again. I ordered a burrito and got: a flour tortilla filled with... guacamole. Just guacamole. No rice, no beans, no vegetables, no cheese, no meat. Just a mushy, green something wrapped in a tortilla. That wasn't a burrito. That was a gag that was just slapped onto the plate. No side dishes. No rice anywhere. It felt like a Mexican-themed party where the food just wasn't invited.

Very tasty food and cocktails!!!

This place used to be great, but it has changed a lot. When it’s full, it gets extremely loud and uncomfortably warm. There are a few fans around, but they’re covered in dust — clearly haven’t been cleaned in years!! The food is just okay. The meat was dry and lacked flavor, although the guacamole was fresh and delish! Prices are too high for what you get. Dishes used to be well presented, salad aside or nicely decorated but now they look rushed and uninspired. Margaritas are mostly ice — you pay nearly €10 for a very small glass that’s filled more with cubes than actual drink. The staff isn’t the most attentive or friendly. Instead of a warm “Hello, welcome!”, you’re immediately hit with a blunt “What can I get you?” Overall, it’s disappointing to see how much the quality has declined.

The food arrived super quickly and the staff was extremely friendly. The burritos were extremely delicious.

They have such great food there😋😋it got me addicted to Mexican cuisine! Plus, the service was excellent. Definitely a place worth coming back to.

The Pastor taco is the best I've had in Europe

One of the best tacos in Germany

Highly recommended! I love it ❤️

Just ordered 2 chicken burritos - there were 2 small sharp bones in them, I don't know how healthy that is

The food was absolutely delicious. Unfortunately, dessert took forever. The restroom was okay.

was a great experience! the attention of maria was wonderful, definitely i’ll come oft

A great underrated Lunch option for sit-in or takeaway.

Special greetings to Luis! Excellent service. I felt very comfortable! You guys are great people!

I could eat here every day. 😍 It tastes so good every time. The whole ambiance is so appealing, and the service is simply great. 😌🪷

Delicious bowl eaten. Pleasant atmosphere. Friendly service. Good price quality ratio.. recommended

We were looking forward to Mexican food. Unfortunately the food didn't taste as good as expected. Hence the bad review. We won't be coming back again.

Ordered takeaway here: 2 burritos and quesadillas. The burritos were really bad. The chicken was neither seasoned nor salted, nor was the iceberg lettuce. There were only a few small pieces of chicken in the burritos, and they weren't even rolled up properly, just slapped carelessly into the shell. There was so little filling that everything fell apart. It's just outrageous to charge money for something like that.

Poor quality and small portions for the price. Wouldn't order here again.

Super nice atmosphere with very friendly staff. We ordered the tacos and then nachos. Both were excellent!

I have never eaten anything as good as here in my life. It blew me and my sister away, both 10/10

10/10 chicken quesadilla, huge portions and lovely staff - even to takeaway

Delicious food, good portions, friendly staff and colorful Mexican atmosphere. And liked it a lot.

Very tasty food. Spice, spiciness - harmonious. I'll be back.

War spontan an einem Ostermittag da. Gemessen an dem Essen hätte es voller sein müssen! Sehr lecker und nicht so fettig, wie man bei mexikanischem essen manchmal befürchtet. Fühlt sich aus Sicht eines Laien sehr authentisch an.

Unfriendly, forgetful service. (lady present last night) The prices for the drinks are not justified.

Had a lovely evening with delicious food and drinks. Service was very nice, helpful and attentive

Unsere Erfahrung im Casita Mexicana war sehr schön! Das Restaurant versprüht einen authentischen mexikanischen Vibe – man fühlt sich sofort wohl. Besonders gefallen hat uns das Angebot, bei dem man ein bisschen von allem probieren kann: Quesadillas, Burrito und mehr. Perfekt, um die Vielfalt der mexikanischen Küche kennenzulernen. Alles war super lecker – wir kommen definitiv wieder, wenn wir wieder mal in Köln sind!

The food was delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere was pleasant

Immaculate vibe, outstanding food, lovely and attentive service. Highly recommend 😊

Always there for the lunch break. Yummy.

Not good value for money: I ate two relatively small quesadillas (fast food!) for €19 and was hardly full. The toppings and taste were good, but the portion size was simply more than poor. Another minus point (although admittedly very petty): the waitress couldn't pronounce the word "Oaxaca". People, train your staff better!

It is an impressive restaurant that looks authentic from the outside and is beautifully decorated. There is something to see everywhere and makes the food tasty. The drinks match the dishes and there is a sufficiently large selection. The tacos asada and tangin were tasty, thanks to the tender meat and the matching sauce. Since I couldn't decide, I took the mix plate, which also tasted very good. I had vegetarian tacos with vegetable filling, the quesadillas were with marinated chicken and tomatoes and the burrito was with tender beef. This gave a complete picture of everything. Everything was reasonably priced. Definitely worth a visit.

Das Essen ist wirklich sehr, sehr gut. Wir hatten Trio ( Nachos mit 3erlei Soßen) und dann unterschiedliche Quesadillas. Tippitoppi köstlich. Jetzt kommt das Aber. Es war Freitagabend 20 Uhr. Das Restaurant brechend voll, die Kellner*innen im Stress und zu wenige. Es dauerte 15 Minuten, bis wir unsere Getränke hatten. Die Vorspeise wurde ganz vergessen und kam auf Nachfrage dann gleichzeitig mit den Hauptspeisen. Die Geräuschkulisse muss man mögen. Sagen wir mal, es ist sehr lebendig. Aber zum Unterhalten nicht geeignet. Auch unser Geld wollte man erst auf unser intensives Drängen hin... Vielleicht ist es mittags etwas ruhiger. Wie gesagt, fürs Essen lohnt sich der Besuch allemal.

We always feel very comfortable there. The food and drinks are great.

I love the vibe, the food was delicious, and I absolutely recommend drinking a Michelada.

The food was very tasty, the service was quick and friendly. The furniture and toilets need improvement.

Super Speisen, nette Bedienung, Reservierungsmöglichkeit, authrntische Speisen, nette Speisenpräsentation. Kurzum: Immer wieder gerne!

Atmosphere: good atmosphere and already decorated. Service: nice service Food: Path and lifeless. Had a burrito. Filled only with chicken and lettuce. Nothing else. Bit disappointing.

Everything was great and we would love to come back

Cool restaurant. Great atmosphere there. But also very loud, but fits the concept. My meal was very tasty, I will definitely come back and try more.

Yesterday we had lunch at this place and everything was excellent: very delicious food and drinks, excellent atmosphere and excellent service from Maria. It is a 100% recommended place.

Super recommended! The food was delicious and Maria's attention was impeccable, we will definitely return!

Worst Mexican Restaurant in Cologne. Highly overpriced. Tiny portions. Taste is mid…seriously. Spend your money elsewhere.

I like this place very much. Authentic cuisine, music and ambience.

Unfortunately not recommended. Service force was only on the cell phone. The addition of “without onions” meant leaving out the entire salad, which is a no-go at these prices

Reservation was confirmed, then spontaneously only sold outside the house 1 hour in advance. Unfriendly lady at reception.

Nicely decorated, good selection of delicious food. Unfortunately a bit expensive.

Very friendly staff and the food is amazing!

Not recommended! First we waited 20-30 minutes until we could order something to drink. The cocktail was filled to the brim with ice cubes, so the cocktail was gone in 3 sips. The burrito was way too cheesy and the chicken was really dry and not tasty! The 4 tacos were the size of the bottom of a cup, so really small, my partner couldn't get enough of them. When we wanted to pay, the waitress preferred to go into the kitchen to chat and when we thought she was coming after 20 minutes, she finally went to the neighboring table, which was a group of at least 10 people. Overall, the service was very unfriendly, you weren't asked once if you wanted something to drink and if everything was OK. I would never go there again!!!

The best Quesadillas, Tacos and Burritos I had in Europe. Both vegetarian and meat options were amazing. We didn't plan to eat Mexican in Cologne, but ended eating three times in Casita. Just perfect.

Wir waren schon zum zweiten mal hier und das Essen ist sehr authentisch und lecker. Vorweg haben wir uns zu viert die großen Nachos mit Rindfleisch und Käse geteilt und dann hatten wir entweder Burito oder Quesadilla. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall noch mal wieder. 👍🏼😋

Super cute shop. The service is nice, but not professionals. You are still with the starter and the waitress wants to put the main courses on the table and doesn't understand at all when you suggest that you are currently still with the starter, which is actually easy to see. Had vegan tacos. The soy mince was really bad. For starters, nachos with cheese and beans, for €18? There are chips sprinkled with cheese...you'll be amazed at the prices. The three of us had two starters and one main course each, plus two Fritz sodas and two beers. The bill was EUR 104.00. Unfortunately it's far too expensive for what's on offer, even if the shop is really cutely decorated.

Service was nice, ambience was okay too. The food was tasty and seemed fresh enough, but the portions were far too small. My husband was still hungry after his bowl and I was still hungry after two quesadillas. The “hungry” reviews in front of me should probably just order more food 😄 I find it absolutely impossible for the price. The presentation was also rather so-so. You can easily serve a side salad on a plate and crumble nachos over it. Definitely gives it a little more love and food ;) if I lived nearby, unfortunately I wouldn't eat here anymore unless there were offers or larger portions.

This visit was once again a blast. Very nice and courteous staff even at a late hour. We'd love to come back.. 🥰👍🖖✌️🫶

I can only describe this restaurant as overpriced. I ordered the asada tacos and when they came the portion was extremely small. As an adult, it's hard to get full here without ordering two main courses. I am very disappointed, my visit was a complete waste of money…

Lifestyle, simple but very suitable furnishings. Very friendly staff. Food was fresh, hot and came quickly. Very tight seating, very crowded when it's full. If you want to have a quiet meal for two and/or want to talk about topics that are more private, this is not the right place (completely personal opinion).

Food relatively authentic, but of good quality!

Been there three times, great....!

The three of us were here for me, the best address for Mexicans in Cologne where the price-performance ratio is right. Here you can meet everything in the audience, from fine to normal. It is even possible to pick up your order in advance, but parking is a bit difficult. It is advisable to look for parking spaces in the surrounding area. The service and the food are very good. The service is very friendly and helpful. I felt a bit transported to the typical alleys of Mexico. A really great experience. We had three main courses and a large appetizer nacho plate, which is a must in this restaurant and therefore very tasty!!! Plus five classic cocktails and a cola. It was actually a bit too much for the three of us. Next time maybe in starter plates for three plus three small dishes. All in all, a successful product and absolutely great value for money. We will come back and it won't be the last time there.

Bad, loud and expensive. We had dinner with a group and everyone was disappointed. The prices are cleverly split. The bowl salad for 16.90 and then beef ectra for 2 euros. That's 18.90 for a measly salad with carrot slices and radishes. No sauce, not dressed. And then the beef strips completely cooked with mushy vegetables. That was loveless and really bad. The noise level is so great that it is hardly possible to hold a conversation at the table. We don't need that again.

Das war sehr enttäuschend. Wir haben mehrere Gerichte probiert und die einhellige Meinung war, dass es sich nicht gelohnt hat. Geschickt es es natürlich, die Preise zu splitten. Die bowl Salat für 16,90 Euro und die Streifen Rindfleisch dann für 2 Euro extra. Macht 18,90 Euro für einen mickrigen Salat mit rohen Möhren- und Radieschenstreifen ohne jede Sauce. Dazu dann die Rindfleischstreifen völlig durchgebraten mit matschigem Gemüse. Nein Danke, nie wieder! Und das in einer Geräuschkulisse in der ein Gespräch am Tisch kaum möglich war.
