El Tequito in Hamburg

We were there twice within 3 weeks and loved it. Super delicious food and very nice service. We'll definitely come more often.

Friendly staff and Mexican atmosphere

Cozy restaurant near the fish market. Delicious Mexican food in a rustic atmosphere. Friendly service, not too loud, affordable prices and a tequila on the bill. I'd love to come back. Really recommended.

Fine food, great service and brilliant decor

The food is good, a little spicy for me, but for those who like it you will be surprised, the drinks are very good too.

Important(!) the rooms of “El Tequito” currently look much nicer and more comfortable than in the pictures here on Google! The food was super tasty, the two of us ordered 4 tapas (spare ribs and Quesidillia's recommendation!) + starter & drinks and were happy and full at the end. The waitresses were super nice and attentive both on the phone and on site. We would love to come back but there is no current photo of the beautiful rooms here on Google.

Highly recommended. We decided on guacamole, black beans, enchiladas, fachjitas and chicken pieces. Everything was delicious. The food tasted totally fresh and had a thousand flavors. Churros and brownie rounded off the whole thing perfectly as dessert. The service is super nice and attentive (thanks for the tequila recommendation). If we didn't have to drive 2.5 hours - El Tequito would become our regular restaurant...

The food was better than it used to be (20 years ago) and is recommended. The ambience is ok. The service was just mediocre. It could be much nicer and funnier. But overall a recommendation. I'll probably go again.

Gladly again! Little vegan food, large selection of tequila.

Delicious Mexican food, finally, not just Tex Mex, also delicious home-made lemonades

We ate here for the second time today. The service is very friendly and the atmosphere is appealing. The selection of dishes is huge and there is something for every taste. After ordering, the food was at the table in no time. The food was super tasty. We'll definitely be back

I had been planning to go again after Corona for a long time - finally implemented today and the wait was absolutely worth it!!! Special requests for food were implemented impeccably, friendly, without complaint (!!!) [even after our somewhat late request] and were even served in a new variety! # REALLY DELICIOUS: we ordered three little things from the tapas menu "Antojitos El Rey" to share - quesadilla beef, enchilada con pollo and the spare ribs - and it was ALL really good, on point and well seasoned! We are super satisfied and will definitely come back! We also think that the lavish tequila card, the sweet Valentine's Day and general decorations 😅 and the appropriate mixed calculation should be mentioned positively. A little less stressful charisma (with all the love) would be nice and the soap in the Chica Restroom could also have substance, but otherwise: THANK YOU GUYS ❤️ *HAPPY 34TH JUBILEE* 😘 Keep it up

Very attentive service and wonderful food. We ate very tasty food. The dishes were a feast for the eyes and the palate. Tip top

Great shop, very tasty and a large selection of tequila

We were “guests” here with my girlfriend on a rainy day in December and were, at least at the beginning, warmly greeted and served by a male waiter. We got the drinks very quickly because the shop was virtually empty - apart from us there was only one other table occupied by two people. In addition to drinks, we both ordered appetizers, a main course and dessert. The food tasted okay so far. The fries were very, very good, but the burger and the rest of the food were just average. The reason why my rating is rather bad is not because of the food, but because of the unsympathetic female waitress, who towards the end of our visit constantly looked over at us sternly, as if she obviously didn't like something, and made it more than clear to us that that we are no longer wanted here. We were still eating our dessert when she came to our table and suddenly started clearing our shared dessert plate and promptly asked how we would like to pay. We weren't asked if we wanted anything else to eat/drink or if everything tasted good so far, etc. With her super toxic and uptight manner, she ruined our evening, which initially went so well, so that we suddenly felt unwelcome. I would like to emphasize again that the store was still EMPTY and there was really no reason to “kick us out”. At no point was it possible to say “Sorry girls, but we have to charge you now because there are still hungry guests waiting in line” or something similar. Nobody told us that the tables can generally only be reserved for a certain time (e.g. 90 minutes). Nobody spoke to us during the two hours - instead we were just stared at in disgust. That was really uncomfortable for us. We then quickly paid the bill and left with a quick goodbye. Ironically, the waitress barely managed to bring herself to utter a bad-tempered “Ciao” ​​while her male colleague, who was standing right next to her, deliberately remained silent. Even 6 weeks later, I don't know what your problem was - whether we sat there too long, whether the turnover of around €60 wasn't enough for you, whether it was because my girlfriend was black - I want it too now don't know anymore. The only thing I know is that I was absolutely right not to tip you a dime. You have to earn it. ¡Hasta nunca jamás!

Super friendly service, great delicious food, absolutely right in terms of price. Ambience really great Mexican.

Food delicious. Staff was friendly and very attentive. Great ambience

Amazing food (tapas and chili con carne), the best margarita I've ever had and great selection of tequila. One of the best Mexican places I've eaten at and I know a thing or two about that cause my boyfriend is quarter Mexican. His sister (also quarter Mexican) adds that a vegan burger was also really good.

Totally delicious, nice service and absolutely ok in terms of price 🫶🏼

At 33 years old, it can definitely be described as a long-established restaurant. While looking for a place to eat a delicious chili con carne, we came across this Mexican eatery. Directly opposite the entrance to the fish market is El Tequito. At our request, the chili was served to us as a large portion. The consistency, taste, spiciness and quantity were right. Since the included homemade nachos were quickly eaten, we ordered a few more tortillas. From the first to the last bite or spoon, the chili was very good.

Very nice, relaxed restaurant, friendly service, fair prices. You sit quite close to each other at the tables next to you - that was a bit strange. The food was good, the portions were reasonable for the price. A cozy evening with friends that we would like to repeat there.

Delicious food… BEST CAIPIRINHA IN THE WORLD! The real one!!!

The staff is very friendly and helpful. The food was very tasty. Since it was my first time at a Mexican restaurant, I have no comparison, but I really enjoyed everything. It was very crowded and loud, so a star was deducted for the ambience, but otherwise we felt comfortable!

Absolutely fantastic food, delicious drinks. All in all, an absolute 10/10

Best Burger I ever ate, the chips were insanely good.. just an over all 10/10! Still not getting how food can be THAT good!

Food was delicious, prices were great. Service very friendly. The restaurant is cozy but the main room is very narrow. It feels like you're sitting at the same table with everyone :D Unfortunately, the women's and men's toilets were not clean. Therefore 1 star deducted.

Der Besuch in Hamburg fand anlässlich meines Geburtstagsgeschenks zum 50sten statt. Mit Theaterbesuch , Konzertbesuch und City-Sightseeing.

The price/performance ratio of the food is not right. We ordered tapas: the spare ribs contained hardly any meat, only 4 small chicken wings, a crispy taco with mainly minced meat costs 7/8€? The ceviche, on the other hand, was good, as was the taco with tuna and steak. The relationship is right there. The main courses seemed better. Not worth visiting again for us. We go to another Mexican place.

A great place! Really good atmosphere and friendly team. The food was amazing and the drinks too. If you're not sure what to have, the Mexican Platter gives you a bit of everything. Be sure to try the Guacamole.

We were here for dinner with 3 people. We were served straight away and got our first drinks and appetizer quite quickly. However, as it got busier, it took some time before we could place our orders for the next drinks and main courses. But for us it wasn't that bad. The food was tasty and reasonable in terms of price/performance. The service was very friendly and we had a nice evening.

We were there for a after work dinner with my colleagues. The restaurant is good, but the service and staff were very slow. It took us an hour just to place our order. The tacos were far below my expectations.

Incredibly good Mexican! The two of us spent the weekend in Hamburg and we know a lot of Mexican restaurants. The store definitely landed in our top three. Highly recommended, hopefully you'll be as lucky and have a nice waiter like Leo. :) From the outside you can hardly tell what a great shop is inside!

Average food and slightly slow service

I can recommend this place so much! The food was so delicious and authentic. The servers are also so kind, she kept check us whether we need anything or not. I will defnitely visit again here 😊 여기 진짜 추천해요!

Great food and super friendly service, we were here with a dog and children and were served very courteously, prices are completely ok.

I’ll start with the good - the servers here were very nice and friendly, with a really lovely atmosphere and cute decor. Not so good - the service seemed a bit slow, as it wasn’t crowded and we did see them standing around at times when we were waiting for our table to be cleared. The food - the chicken in the quesadilla was tasty, that was the only positive. The food was really badly flavored, sour cream was weird. Nothing served with rice or beans. It was extremely in-authentic. We unfortunately wouldn’t return or recommend.

Very tasty food and stylishly decorated restaurant. The staff is very courteous and helpful. If you are not very familiar with Mexican cuisine, the service will give you very good advice and tips and help with the dishes on offer. The dishes taste very tasty and always freshly prepared. The staff was always attentive and took care of the guests. I was in Hamburg for business in May and for one week in August for pleasure. El Tequito immediately became my favorite place during this time. I'm already looking forward to the next time and will stop by again for a chilli and some Alster water. Many greetings from the southwest to the service at El Tequito.

It was really nice with you. Thanks for the great service Rami

The food was very tasty, but the portions were too small. I missed the corn in the chili, but everyone makes it differently.

The restaurant is rather small, but comfortably furnished. The food is great and the price is absolutely right. The service is also absolutely friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the restaurant is not really recommended for wheelchair users. The entrance can only be reached via a small staircase and the toilets are too narrow to get in with a wheelchair. But the staff here was very helpful. The bottom line is that El Tequito is definitely highly recommended.

Food and prices are ok, but not outstanding, there are several better Mexican restaurants in St. Pauli and the Schanze. Service was nice, but everything dragged on. We were there around 6:30 p.m. and had to wait until the chains were removed from the tables so that we could sit down. Drinks came quickly, food took...

The food is really delicious, a little expensive but still ok

I loved! The food and drinks were delicious and very beautifully presented. Something we really liked were the Nachos.

Super delicious food and great service! We have been there several times and have always been very satisfied! We are looking forward to the next time.

It turned out really great, the renovation was worth it. Cozy and also very stylish. The service, as always, was very friendly and great. Food delicious! Even today... a few years later, I can say: very cozy, the food is delicious, the price/performance is great and the staff are fabulous, great!! 👍🏻 Always happy!

Everything is fine We had tapas simple

It tasted good and the staff was very nice

Very tasty, local dishes, highly recommended. Service was very friendly and attentive, only the drinks were empty for a long time and no one noticed.

It was my first time at El Tequito. I found the food very tasty and completely okay for the price paid. I ate the vegetarian fajita. There were also three sauces, lots of fried vegetables, some cheese and also vegetables in a stock. All in all it was really good. I also ate a vegetarian corn taco. This was also very tasty. The drink was a Mexican beer and at the end we were offered a tequila. My friends also enjoyed the food. The service was nice and friendly. She also checked every now and then to see if we needed anything. I also found the ambience to be quite okay. We sat outside, which was close to the street, but you didn't really notice it. Plus a beautiful view and Mexican music. All in all a lovely evening and we will definitely come back.

Food perfect, service also very good.

Well spiced beef for texmex in Europe

I've been here multiple times and every time it was great. One of my favorite restaurants. Good menu, good foot, nice service and amazing shots. I recommend this place.

I ordered the crispytaco cheeseburger, which did NOT say spicy/chili but it had chili salsa all over it!!! And when we asked why they said oh we are mexican restaurant u have to say u dont want chili in the food! :/ then why write chili/hot in other food descriptions !!??? No!

Ok, but nothing special. Salad had too much dressing and too much chicken, tacos tasted a bit boring. It also took a very long time until we even got the drinks. The guacamole was the best.

Vane”s caipirinha are better than Arturo’s”s

Delicious Texmex cuisine in the heart of Hamburg.

Delicious cocktails and Mexican tapas. The service is very friendly. Sometimes the restaurant is a bit lively and loud.

What makes this restaurant special is the warm hospitality that immediately reminds you of South America. We just drank cocktails and had a small snack. Next time I would like to try a vegetarian dish in this restaurant.

The guacamole was a bit bland and the homemade nachos unfortunately didn't taste like anything, so it didn't help that they came to the table in three colors. What I didn't like at all was that you couldn't see the guest in between, you weren't given any napkins and a spoon wouldn't be bad for the last bites of guacamole that you can't scrape out with the nachos.

Food was good but service was not good. We would have had more drinks if the waiter had come

We ordered chicken wing and they came after 2 hours

I've been eating here every week for several years and I've never been disappointed. Always very tasty food and very nice and courteous service. 👍🏻 Keep it up!

No matter what I or my friends have eaten here so far, it was very tasty every time.

Very friendly staff, no question about the food went unanswered. The food was fresh and tasted exceptionally good! We had the Chihuahua Buritto with minced beef, sensational! The guacamole alone was, as described on the menu, legendary. The first one that my wife ate. That's why it was only possible to get a seat with a reservation, because El Tequito is certainly no longer an insider tip. There was constant demand for a table. The price-performance ratio is also okay. Our unreserved recommendation!!!

Nice ambience. The service was a bit pushy with his "jokes". The food was good but not authentic. Still four stars for it.

Very friendly staff, cosy location and delicious food and drinks. Will definitely be coming back!

Die Speisen schmeckt uns sehr. Da gibt es viele verschiedene Cocktails und verschiedene Getränke. Die Servis war sehr freundlich und qualitativ. Die Atmosphäre ist so schon.

Tourist shop with nice service, but you won't find real Mexican food here. Good convenience food with steep prices

Delicious food and super friendly service!

Super delicious food! Each dish had its own charm. Very friendly service and first class service. The cocktails were pretty tasty too. Only the red salsa with the nachos was a bit too smoky, but the other sauces were awesome.

El Tequito has been around since 1991. A breath of fresh air has been blowing since February 2019. Redesigned colors, walls and tables. And a new menu. Fresher, but not better. I have always loved the spare ribs and chicken wings... Unfortunately there is only a much smaller version available. Looks like a Mexican version of tapas. Service was sometimes very friendly. Unfortunately, after 28 years as a regular guest, it is no longer my first choice when it comes to ribs and wings... As the old saying goes: “Never change a winning team.”

We were here today for the first and definitely not the last time! This is the perfect starting point for a neighborhood tour! Anna and Leo are by far the most experienced, professional and friendly service staff there is!!!! Everything was perfect!

Everything great! We'd love to come back

We are blown away, the food is sooooo delicious. I'm now looking for a Seafood Gumbo recipe. We will be back!

A very great atmosphere with incredibly good food. The waitresses were very attentive. We will definitely eat at El Tequito again.

Great location, great food (handmade nachos), value for money really great. Very friendly and helpful staff... Highly recommended. We'll definitely be back. Update: and we were there again on July 16, 2022 and it was just as relaxed again Uodate: we were there for the 3rd time on March 5th, 2024 with the mothers and as always it was delicious and plentiful

Very tasty food and super attentive and friendly service. Highly Recommended!

All in all really recommended. What wasn't so good was that our waitress served our cocktails (one alcoholic, one non-alcoholic) swapped. Unfortunately both were the same color and we noticed it a little too late....

A great Mexican restaurant! Very good service! Pleasant atmosphere! First-class and always fresh food! Perfect 👍☺️!

Very friendly service and very tasty food

Food was Mexican inspired bur very far from true Mexican or Tex-Mex. Not awful, so long as you know what to expect

Very tasty food, great cocktails and very friendly service. We will be back definitely.

We were the first here and we are thrilled. The service was top and the food was really tasty. Afterwards drank the best tequila on recommendation. We would love to come back 🔥

We made reservations online for a Friday evening. The food was delicious, but the portion was too small for me for the prices quoted. It was also very loud and the tables were very close together.

The food is super average at best. Quesadillas were underwhelming, the chicken didn't taste fresh and was dry. The flavours were bland and uninspiring.

Very tasty food, great selection. Excellent service. Also recommended is house beer on tap. Just as good as Carlsberg on tap.

Hello everyone 😎✌🏼 So I was spontaneously in HH and then went for a walk on the banks of the Elbe. I was in Mexico for 2 weeks beforehand and I have to say, the food is really authentic and tastes just like in the holiday country 👌🏽 Only 3* for service because it took a relatively long time for my order to be received. With little utilization. So just like in Mexico, leisurely 😉 Highly recommended and nice to stay. Definitely make a reservation on the weekend because it's not that big. Best regards

We were here with the family for a birthday. The food was freshly prepared and all dishes were really tasty. We'd love to come back.

Delicious Mexican with warm service.

We were at El Tequito late in the evening and received a very friendly welcome. Both the cocktails and the dishes we ordered were excellent! The service was also great! If we didn't have such a long journey - we would definitely visit this restaurant more often!! A clear recommendation from us!

Delicious food, attentive friendly staff, good drinks and cozy atmosphere.

The food was super tasty. I haven't been to Mexico yet, but this is what the food should taste like there. Plus really friendly service. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back.

Entspannte Atmosphäre und auch Platz für große Gruppen vorhanden. Leckeres Essen zu fairen Preisen. Der Service ist sehr freundlich. Hat uns gut gefallen und wir kommen gerne wieder.

Great Mexican, great service, you're constantly asked if everything is good. Delicious food, great drinks. We'd love to come back

The atmosphere was typically Mexican, colorful and there was enough space with tables and seats. The waitress was very nice and looked a bit like Shirin David to be honest. The food was super tasty, the dips/sauces could have been a little more on the plate. Price performance was great, but the drinks were a bit small (Cola only 0.2ml) and the beer was a bit expensive and 0.25ml

Absolute 10/10, preise , essen, drinks , bedienung einfach klasse. endlich ein guter mexikaner in hamburg!

Nett eingerichtet und auch der Service ist okay, das Essen jedoch könnte qualitativ besser sein. Hähnchenfilet im Salat war aus der Tüte? Eingefroren? Undefinierbar... Hat mir nicht geschmeckt. Preis/Leistung könnte besser sein. Muss leider sagen, dass ich hier nicht nochmal hingehen werde.

Tatsächliche alles perfekt! Cocktails es ein wenig teuer, aber lecker. Happy hour wäre nett...

Ein tolles mexikanisches Restaurant mit super leckeren Speisen, Getränken und sehr freundlichem und zuvorkommendes Personal. Speisen: Geschmacklich wirklich hervorragend und abwechslungsreich, mit Liebe und Können zubereitet. Getränke: Sie haben alle Standards und eine gehobene Auswahl an verschiedenen Tequilas. Das Ambiente ist stimmig und gemütlich. Ein wichtiger Punkt, den viele immer bei ihrem Rezessionen vergessen: die Toiletten. Sie sind geschmackvoll eingerichtet, sauber und wohlduftend. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
