ESPITAS GmbH & Co. KG Halle in Halle (Saale)

Simply worth the experience! We'd love to come back.

The food tastes good. Service could be better.

So the service needs to be improved. It was empty, yet the staff seemed overwhelmed. Some things were forgotten, but were brought back later, including rude replies...unnecessary.

As a fan of many restaurants, this was another point that was far from the truth. When I go to a Mexican restaurant, I assume they understand my language. But in the end, they're all German. I politely asked if they spoke Spanish, but no one knew. So it's better to say the name of the restaurant in German.

Highly recommended. Friendly service and delicious food. Special requests were accommodated.

We went to Espitas for brunch today after a long time and were very disappointed. The variety of dishes has changed for the worse. For example, with the rice and salmon, you had to hunt for the salmon. The only meat available was pork ribs. I missed the chicken pieces. Some of the plates (I actually had to put three back) were already greasy, as if they hadn't been cleaned. There was still green residue stuck to one knife. The iced tea garnish consisted of a piece of pineapple that already looked disgusting. It was all unacceptable. The service was very friendly, but that's not enough. We won't be going back anytime soon. I think you're still well served with three stars.

Stands out from other restaurants because of the exotic decor, food takes some getting used to

We were here for the first time yesterday and yes, we'll be back. We had the buffet and I have to say it was great. The buffet is refilled every minute and has something for everyone, from meat to rice, chili, noodles, vegetables, etc. The service was very friendly. Yes, it was busy, which meant there were some delays with the drinks, but all in all, a great place. Highly recommended.

We were there for lunch and had reserved a table. The food was exactly as we imagined.

It's incredibly delicious. We'd love to come back.

Very nice staff, unfortunately we didn't like the food at all.

Delicious food, generous portions, and polite and dedicated service. What more could you want?

The buffet is okay, but nothing more...nothing special. The atmosphere is also so-so. The quality has declined over the years.

Super delicious food and really good service. What more could you want? There were four of us and we were very satisfied with our visit. I definitely recommend it.

Friendly staff, good service. The food tastes fantastic and looks very appealing. The drinks are also good. The house recommendation for making your own shakes is definitely worth trying. We'd love to come back. 👍🏼

It started well. We had a buffet, so we were able to get started right away. Everyone finished eating long before someone else came to our table. The atmosphere could use a refresh!

As always everything was great, great service, great food and delicious drinks

Beautiful shop, cool atmosphere, nice people, just great

I ate there last Sunday evening and was extremely disappointed. We ate there that evening and honestly had no idea which dish to order from the menu. Another negative aspect was that the selection of dishes was very limited, but I ordered tacos, which I didn't like at all. Regarding the tacos, I criticized the crumbly, especially dry, and almost tasteless "dough," which tasted like old chips. We were also a bit disappointed when we were told that dishes like chili con carne and the taco sauce weren't spicy at all—quite the opposite. The service was STILL adequate, and it took a very long time for our drinks to arrive at our table. In conclusion: Unfortunately, I was not satisfied with the dinner experience and wish you could expand the selection of dishes on the menu and offer guests more choice. I would also like to reduce the spiciness of some dishes. It would also be advisable to offer an all-you-can-eat dinner buffet, like the breakfast buffet, so that everyone is satisfied. I was barely full from the small mini tacos with mini fillings and had to eat dinner again at home. As an experienced Google reviewer, I have experienced a lot and would like that They also adapt to my ideas so that a good rating, like at the breakfast buffet, ensures that guests are reasonably full and possibly leave a good Google review afterwards. This is exactly why I would request that an all-you-can-eat buffet be offered for dinner. Unfortunately, there were also many Google reviews for dinner a few months ago that also gave bad ratings. I often ate breakfast there, but dinner, especially the tacos with the extremely spicy sauce, were a huge disappointment. I won't be coming back as long as there isn't an all-you-can-eat buffet in the evening as well. I've attached the old review of the breakfast buffet again; it should at least be the same for dinner! SOME things need to be revised.

The buffet used to be much better

Super tasty buffet food, perfect for those hungry and beyond. The buffet also has something for the little ones. It's like being in Mexico. I highly recommend it. 5***** 🍺🍽🍹🍷🥤

Very nice service, nice ambiance Kid-friendly :-) Food was delicious, but also very average Waited 30 minutes for the bill at the end due to limited staff Drinks ordered with the meal arrived too late, after the meal The margarita offered to everyone at the beginning, also non-alcoholic and blue-colored for children, is more expensive; it's a mixed juice/nectar with ice cubes and not worth the price. I would have preferred a "real" drink if they had known the ingredients, and the really cool shaker would have been an additional €10. Conclusion: Delicious, friendly service but no urge to repeat it anytime soon

The food wasn't exactly Mexican, but it was delicious and definitely surpassed other restaurants. Unfortunately, it was also a bit expensive.

Typical Mexican cuisine – as is typical in Europe. Great, friendly service. Good food. Delicious drinks. 🥤 We had a cozy meal together and really enjoyed our stay.

Not recommended. The chain has significantly better locations, for example, the one in Leipzig is worlds better.

Very tasty food buffet is extremely varied service friendly will be happy to come back

Super delicious food. It was very busy, so the cook even came out to serve the food, but everyone still had a smile and a funny saying on their lips. There's a separate play area for the kids, kids' meals, kids' cocktails, and a color-in menu. We'll definitely be back to try more dishes.

Simply beautiful again, super delicious food and very nice service, thank you Linda

The cocktails are watery. I ordered a Morito and a Sex on the Beach with alcohol. Alcohol. It was a complete joke. Not a trace of alcohol. Far too many ice cubes. The Sex on the Beach tasted only of orange juice and canberry juice. I pointed out to the staff several times that the drinks weren't okay. Unfortunately, they showed no insight. We paid €300 for this poor service. That's called service, ridiculous. Not a recommendation. Unfortunately, what your staff said is untrue. No new cocktails were offered. The staff member smelled my cocktail and said it smelled of peach liqueur. Nothing more. It's a shame for such a lack of insight.

I was there with a friend. My next visit is already planned.

I like Espitas. Friendly service, great food, and a pleasant atmosphere. 💪😎 I'd go back again and again.

A dining experience. Super friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere 🥰

Great food, great atmosphere! A special thank you goes to Linda and Marcus, who impressed us with their relaxed and welcoming manner. We felt very comfortable with you 🫶🏼 If I may express one wish: Please open in Düsseldorf too! My tip: Experience dining with your own cocktail shakers!

I really like it...it's clean and the staff is attentive! The portions could be larger for men, though.

The food was very tasty. The service could still be improved. At times, it seemed like they were having a bad day.

We were there for the second time today. It was wonderful as always, especially our waitress (Linda) was incredibly friendly :)

We went to Espitas for dinner today for the first time. We had made a reservation for eight people shortly beforehand without any hassle. Everything was perfect: great ambiance, relaxed atmosphere, delicious food (although one dish wasn't quite to our taste), and very friendly and attentive service. We'd love to come back 😊

We ate there for the buffet. There was a little bit of everything.

It was our first time eating there. We received a friendly welcome and were shown to a table. After five minutes, our drink order was taken, and our menus were brought to us. Our drinks arrived very quickly, and our food was served. The food arrived 15 minutes later. The food was very good. The spare ribs and prime short rib fell off the bone. The enchiladas were also very good. The plates and dishes were hot and very well seasoned. We also had the barbecue dip and the cilantro aioli, which were also very tasty and homemade. We will definitely eat there again.

We were here at the weekend to eat at the buffet. The ambiance was impressive, and the service was quite okay. However, the buffet, for a hefty €27.50, leaves a lot to be desired in every way. First of all, the selection is really very small. That wouldn't even be a problem if the food tasted good. But it doesn't. Most of it is cold and tasteless. The dessert stand wasn't refilled once in the 1.5 hours we were there. That means that for €27.50, we didn't even get a dessert. Well, that's not entirely true; there were a few pre-made donuts. You could really save the money...

We had a delicious dinner there. The service was exceptionally good.

We had reserved a table online for 8 people on June 29, 2025, at 8 p.m., specifying a large table. We arrived on time and were offered an outdoor table in direct sunlight, without a parasol or anything similar. We asked for a table inside the restaurant and were given a table for 6 with the reply, "I don't have a bigger one." Since the restaurant was almost empty, we added a small table to the table for 6. Luckily, the drink menus were already on the table, so we were able to write down our drinks on a piece of paper ourselves. The waitress came about half an hour later and brought us the menus and took our drink orders (it took another half hour for the drinks to arrive at our table). We then placed our food orders one by one. I had mozzarella sticks for starters, and rump steak, twister, and corn on the cob for main courses. My rump steak arrived as an appetizer, and the twisters and corn on the cob arrived about half an hour later, with the response: "The kitchen overlooked it." Of course, I had already eaten my meat. Then I left the twisters. Two of our family members' entire food orders were served incorrectly. Whether this was a server error or the kitchen's was not communicated to us. We also only received our next drinks upon request. Since the two food orders had to be redone, meaning we didn't arrive at our table until 9:30 p.m., we were immediately informed that this was the last round of drinks, as they close at 10 p.m. This was my third visit to this restaurant. The first two weren't good due to long waits and unfriendly service. I thought all good things come in threes and tried again, but unfortunately, it was disappointing again. Thus, this was also my last visit to Espitas in Halle.

A very disappointing visit.... I had booked a table for 8 people for 8 p.m. on June 29, 2025... as soon as we arrived, we sat at the table and waited and waited. The waitress came after about 15 minutes and brought us the menus and cutlery, placed it on the table, and left... after about 10 minutes, they came back and took our drink orders. After 20 minutes, our drinks arrived... They then took our meal orders and left... we waited about an hour for our food... 2 meals were completely wrong, side dishes were missing, and we weren't even asked if we wanted anything else to drink. After about 20 minutes, the last 2 meals arrived, along with the missing side dishes. It was tasty. But I was still very disappointed, as we've been there three times in three years and were always disappointed. So I have to leave a review this time.

Disappointing visit. Unfortunately, the service was very slow – long waits for menus and drinks, even though there were hardly any customers. The staff was unfriendly or unattentive. The food itself was rather bland and barely seasoned. Even after the meal, the table wasn't cleared, and refills were only possible upon request. Overall, the experience was not convincing.

*Unfortunately, not a good visit.* The service left a lot to be desired – we had to wait 15 minutes for the menu, and the drinks didn't arrive for half an hour. The servers seemed unfriendly and unattentive, even though the restaurant wasn't full. The food was barely seasoned and tasted disappointing. Even after the meal, the table wasn't cleared, and we had to practically ask for more drinks. Unfortunately, it wasn't an experience we'd want to repeat.

This restaurant truly impressed us with its fantastic food—every bite was a delight! Unfortunately, our experience was marred by the service. The wait times were long, and the servers were unfriendly and dismissive. It's a shame that the excellent cuisine is overshadowed by such poor service. With better staff, this would be a top-notch restaurant.

It's been a real downer. The service was doing its best, but unfortunately was overwhelmed, and we had to wait a long time. The fries weren't cooked through, and the ribs were cold and tasteless. A shame.

I went there for brunch today, like every year, and as always, I was thrilled. The drinks are fantastic and extremely tasty. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The buffet is good, but sometimes a bit cold, and there's not quite as much selection as before. Nevertheless, it's very nicely designed, including the pool, and there's even a small area for kids. We'll be back here every year!😊

We ordered food. The selection was disappointing and extremely limited. The food arrived practically cold, which wasn't the driver's fault. (He arrived 10-15 minutes after departure, which is perfectly acceptable for the distance.) My wife's main course was very small for €17.90. The filling in the enchiladas (€19.90) was unappealing. I was still hungry but couldn't finish it because I simply didn't want any more. The beans were just a dry mush. We opened the rest of the enchiladas, and the chicken inside was the same shaped pieces you get in the disappointing salads at the supermarket. The browning on the chicken pieces definitely didn't come from frying. The kids' nuggets were frozen nuggets from a bulk pack. You quickly got the feeling that many of the ingredients were bought from the frozen food store around the corner (the temperature of the dishes also suggested this). For that price, we would have preferred to eat at a good restaurant downtown.

The buffet was very good. The service was friendly. We would love to come back.

There were 50 of us there, and the service was very good and friendly. The atmosphere was very pleasant, and the outside looks great too. Our only criticism was the room temperature, as they weren't able to cool it down a bit. The food from the buffet was incredibly delicious and very extensive.

We went to brunch on Sunday and had a huge selection of food.

Hey, I want to review this place today: ➡️Food: 9️⃣ / 🔟 ➡️Drinks: 🔟 / 🔟 ➡️Location: 8️⃣ / 🔟 ➡️Service: 🔟 / 🔟 ➡️Atmosphere: 🔟 / 🔟 ➡️Value for money: 9️⃣ / 🔟 ▶️ Conclusion: Hello, we come here often and think this restaurant is great. Whether it's for birthday parties, cozy evenings, or just a quick meal, it's worth it. You can order "all you can eat" or "from the menu" at a very fair price. They also serve homemade lemonade, cocktails, and drinks. Visually, it's simply a masterpiece. You park in the huge parking lot and are greeted by a building that resembles a fortress. Before you enter, you first see the pond and then the two-story restaurant built on stilts. If you order "all you can eat," you'll sit on the first floor, and if you order "by the menu," you'll sit on the second floor. The first floor features a large terrace and a spacious interior. The second floor features a huge interior and a small terrace with a mini pool. ⚠️ "All you can eat" (1st floor): A buffet awaits you here, with constantly updated dishes, and you'll find all kinds of Spanish and German dishes. You can eat as much as you want here for a very, very fair price. ⚠️ "A la carte" (2nd floor): Here you can have a special Spanish cuisine cooked for you, whether it's tacos, meat dishes, or vegetarian. The a la carte menu costs a little more, but it's made to your specifications. Be sure to check out "Espitas" in Halle; you get a lot for your money here. Be sure to try the homemade lemonade. The food here tastes very good, and every visit is a wonderful experience. The staff are very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. Be sure to come here if you want to experience something new.

I've been to Espitas a few times now and have been really satisfied every time. The food is delicious, the portions are generous, and the atmosphere is really pleasant—it feels a bit like a mini vacation. The cocktails, in particular, are really well-made; I highly recommend them. The service has been friendly and attentive every time. I'd definitely be back.

Espitas is definitely worth a visit, and if you like this flavor, you've come to the right place. The service is excellent and even jokes along...not insulting, but relaxed (a Berlin experience). We'll definitely be back.

Highly recommended. Friendly staff, beautiful decor, and delicious, plentiful food. It doesn't take long from ordering to serving. Simply 5 stars+ The chairs are a bit uncomfortable, but I would change that.

I highly recommend the food. It's not too spicy, and you can add more spice if you like. The service is friendly and quick. If our table had been set at the requested time and a sharp steak knife had been available, I would have given it full marks. Making a reservation through the website was easy. There was plenty of parking right next door.

I encountered an issue with my bill that left a sour note. Two items were added that I hadn’t ordered, which I only noticed later. the billing oversight was very frustrating. I don't live on town, it’s an area they could improve. Overall, I recommend checking your bill carefully if you visit. update, I just sent them as requested an email with the invoice pointing to the item i didnt order. update 2, no reply from my email in more than 3 weeks edit Shared my bank details as requested and received the overcharged amount. Appreciate when a business steps up — that’s when it really shines

Espitas is beautiful. And the food was so amazing. It's been well over a month since we were there, but we'll always remember it fondly. And the postcard just arrived. He was delighted—what a surprise! It's hard to get mail from Mexico.

Everything was great, staff very friendly

An all-around great restaurant. There were two of us there, and we were always served quickly. We were asked several times if we needed anything else. The food was delicious. I was particularly impressed by the long list of non-alcoholic cocktails.

We were there spontaneously and regretted our visit towards the evening. As soon as we arrived we noticed an unpleasant smell coming from the toilets. We also had ants on our table - which was very unappetizing. Everyone in our group agreed that it wasn't value for money. We only ordered Coke and had to wait a whole 20 minutes - even though they were only bottles that you simply have to unscrew the cap on. Two people in our group didn't want to eat, just something to drink. Nevertheless, they were later accused of eating - we found that really outrageous. One thing is certain for us: we won't be coming back.

Have been there several times. Always my pleasure. Great service and great food.

Good and rich buffet for brunch

We were really surprised, how can you be so arrogant and rude to customers. Where we came, the restaurant was almost 30% full, even then we were asked if we had reserved a table (which is fine), but we had the impression that it was now a huge problem. Then we said that we just wanted to eat coffee and cake, and we wanted to order something small for the children, and we were told: "We don't care about coffee and cake, we have a menu" (Whaatt???). And of course the menu included coffee and cake. Then you couldn't order everything at once. Definitely, never again and I don't recommend it to anyone

Service desert After two previous, averagely pleasant experiences, I went there yesterday with my 9-year-old son at his request. Ordering the drinks went quickly. Taking the order for the food took a little more time. 45 minutes later there was no sign of the food and the order for a second drink was obviously not forwarded. After staying for over an hour without seeing or hearing anything about our food, I told the waitress that we wouldn't be waiting any longer. She then ran away without a word to go to the kitchen to let her know. My son and I waited at the exit for a few minutes to pay for the drinks we received. The waitress appeared completely unaffected. She asked succinctly, “Card or cash?” No questions asked, no excuses. No expression of regret. She turned around without a word and didn't even say goodbye. The quality of the service can only be described as subterranean. The employee was obviously completely unmotivated and showed no interest in the well-being of her customers. I will strongly advise friends, acquaintances and colleagues not to visit Espitas in the future.

Drinking was only delivered after repeated requests. The buffet is small and the waiters are unwelcoming.

Top restaurant!! The food was super tasty and well prepared. The service was also very friendly. Happy to come back!

For brunch and also great for other events

Today we went to the buffet in Espitas with the family for the first time and I can/have to say the ambience was simply fantastic and wonderfully decorated. The parking situation was also more than sufficient. However, two of the dishes were declared to be vegetarian, but once with minced meat and once with chicken, this was also confirmed by the service staff when asked and some of the dishes in the buffet were unfortunately only lukewarm. The drinks however were really good. However, the employees unfortunately made a very listless impression (consistently "pulled a rag") when you gave them the dishes, no thanks.

Was really good for the first visit. Pretty authentic and friendly staff. Sat outside, unfortunately right next to the smoking island, pretty stupid solution and where the hell are the wet wipes for finger food? Otherwise everything is chic, especially the stylish toilets.

Great location, can be recommended. Service is very nice and you are served quickly. Food also tastes very good. Would love to come back

It's okay, not beautiful in any way, but okay. It is unique, you have to admit, but unfortunately it is already well worn and less cared for in detail [tables, chairs, stairs, floors, walls, broken decorations] than previously assumed. The staff is dominant.... which, if you are sensitive, can be perceived as a bit annoying. Can you visit it? Yes you should, because the ambience is very nice and even unique regionally. Does the food taste good? Mexico says...a resounding yes if you like Mexican.

I ate à la carte once and the buffet once. It was absolutely fantastic!

My partner and I were here for the first time today. Parking situation is fine, it was quite full and some people treated themselves to two parking spaces. The staff is very friendly and regularly ask if everything is okay. The food (buffet) was pretty tasty, there was really something for everyone, even those who are picky like me. We will definitely be back, including our family.

It's beautiful here, there's something for everyone for Sunday brunch. At the table you will find a QR code on the menu with which you can order drinks online. PERFECT 👍

I was here again after 10 years and didn't notice any change. The concept is clear. The ambience is accordingly. The chairs, however, are getting old, like everything else. This could be improved significantly. The menu hasn't changed since the day it opened. At least it feels like it.

Always a great location. Good food and drinks. For an evening with friends or family.

We celebrated our daughter's birthday there. We were very impressed with the food, the service and the ambience. The only negative point we could mention is the birthday decorations. It was beautiful, but the price was too high. Otherwise everything was great!!

Unfortunately it's getting old. The staff is very, very slow and seems confused. We asked several times whether we had already ordered food. In total we waited over an hour for our food and it took 20 minutes to bring the bill. The food was lightly seasoned and slightly bland. The last visit here for us.

We were there for Valentine's Day & everything was beautifully decorated. Buffet was lavish and very tasty.

Brunch was great Huge selection with something for everyone Always happy again.

Spontaneous visit with family. We helped ourselves to the all you can eat buffet. Tried a lot. In terms of taste, everything was okay, but just okay. (***) In my opinion, the price performance is not right given the quality of the food. Quantity is not class. The staff was friendly. Information about the buffet was only available upon request. As a visitor you sit without a menu and without information. Not so good. There are even more parking spaces. Child friendly. :-)

The buffet was very tasty and there was something for everyone. The service was very attentive and very polite. This restaurant is always worth a visit and we will come back. A successful evening. Recommended wholeheartedly. Maybe you can also serve hot peppers or jalapeños at the salad buffet.

Were pleasantly surprised! The selection of dishes at the buffet was extensive and tasty. The prices overall are within reason. The furnishings are Mexican, great.

Food here is very tasty 😋 but I wished my chili con carne was a little spicier (just a bit 😋🤏) otherwise everything was great

My partner and I spent Valentine's Day at Espitas and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. As soon as we arrived we were warmly welcomed and escorted to our table. Our waitress introduced herself directly, which we found to be very attentive. The large buffet for €27.69 per person had a great selection and the food was simply delicious! We were particularly impressed by the tender meat, the aromatic dressing and the fresh guacamole. Everything was prepared with great attention to detail 🥑🌮 We also liked the ambience – a cozy atmosphere, attentive service and clean, well-maintained toilets. There was also plenty of parking space if you didn't arrive late. We will definitely be back and can only recommend Espitas!☺️

We ate here on Valentine's Day. The staff was very friendly, I actually only know them from abroad who introduce themselves by their first names. It was beautifully decorated. The food was great. And the prices for the drinks are completely reasonable.

Super delicious food! There really is something for everyone at the buffet! Very nice and careful service! The very nice ambience rounds off the visit perfectly! Always my pleasure!

Good food, everything is clean, only the smell in your clothes accompanies you home.

Food is great, tastes really tasty, buffet has plenty of choice and I love going there again and again

A quiet place was provided as there was a big celebration next to us

We were there 2 days ago. The service was nice, the food was quite tasty, especially the ribs were by far the best I've ever eaten. The chili con carne was also very tasty. However, I have to say that the prices are excessive. 20 euros for 4 tacos, 20 euros for a chili and even 29 euros for 2 ribs (with dip and 2 nachos) (mainly bone) is quite discreetly too much money. We'll still come back because it was tasty.

Mexican "all you can eat" buffet with typical Mexican drinks...from delicious beer to premium Escorial at moderate prices!

The food is always delicious. The buffet is recommended. The location itself is very beautiful. The service is very nice.

The service was very nice and the food was very tasty. There was even something for the kids

Super nice restaurant. Very friendly staff. Food tastes great. Dogs are allowed

We still need to work on the service staff. At buffet meals, clearing up didn't work so well for the staff, who weren't very interested. There is a shortage of skilled workers everywhere.

I am extremely disappointed and pissed off! What an unbelievable cheek not to offer a parking space despite a reservation. I wasted 20 minutes looking for a place - to no avail! How can a restaurant that takes reservations not be able to provide adequate parking? This is not only an embarrassing organization, but simply disrespectful to the guests! I've never experienced anything like this before. This shows how little value they place on customers there. I will definitely never book a table with you again and advise anyone not to put up with this chaos and disrespect! Absolutely unacceptable!

It was a very great evening. Can be recommended There is something for everyone.
