Lazaros Doulgeridis in Nürnberg

The place is nice and it does seem very traditional but the food doesn't really taste like Mexico. I asked for a sauce for my tacos (tacos that looked and tasted like Burritos, with a flour tortilla) and they told me that there was no spicy sauce. I kindly asked the waitress if anyone spoke Spanish or if someone was from Mexico because I wanted to ask more about a sole dish, but there was no one to ask in more detail, since they have a lot of variety but what we tried unfortunately we didn't like and unfortunately they didn't taste good. :(, I dare to upload my review because I am from Mexico and I lived in various parts of my country, I know the dishes from the north to the south and those are not Mexican dishes! Greetings, I hope they improve, Long live Mexico 🇲🇽 :)

News 3/25: The restaurant is insolvent; the entire inventory (kitchen, tables, chairs, decor, etc.) was auctioned off. Unfortunately, El Mexicano is no longer in business. What will happen to the premises remains to be seen. --- We were a group of 20 people, and even though they were short a server, everything went smoothly; everyone's food arrived almost at the same time. The taste at El Mexicano is sensational! We'd be happy to go back anytime!

You can ALWAYS find a place here, even without a reservation. So far the food has not disappointed my friends and me once. The farewell shots are also cute, loving and very accommodating, if necessary also in the driver version without alcohol. Ambiance in the restaurant is wonderful. Service is always perfect and we were always treated exactly the same! Even on our first visit ages ago in sweatpants after the gym, they treated us like any other guest. Here every customer is truly king! It feels like every person who walks through the front door is family! You rarely find something like that. Thank you for your efforts and your loving nature, dear El Mexicano team! Edit March 12, 2025 Unfortunately, the restaurant has been closed for a long time now. Unfortunately, I couldn't find out anything by asking friends who live there. I would be incredibly happy about a reopening! For me, this restaurant is definitely part of Nuremberg!

Kitchen inventory is currently being auctioned off at Restlos.com. Too bad...

Best Mexican food in Nuremberg ever!!! I hope there will be a place like this again soon......because the former owner all the best....

El Mexicano - we miss you!!! Hope you open again! The best Mexican in Nuremberg!

Not a review but a question as to whether and why the restaurant is closed? Tel number is no longer in use 😢 does anyone know anything??? N A C H T R A G December 21, 24: I guess nothing will happen to this place anymore. Too bad.

That was always great and the staff was very nice. Unfortunately, Loka's doesn't seem to have been open for a long time... Does anyone know more?

It's probably closed forever too.

Great food. Just a small drawback. The sour cream in the oven potatoes contains too much mayonnaise. Otherwise everything is good.

My favorite restaurant with the nicest staff EVER!!! ❤️

This place should be closed!! We ate here at the weekend (and are regulars too) - had the Tacos Fermoso. 6 hours later I was in the hospital after vomiting profusely for half the night. Chills, fever, double vision. The diagnosis in the hospital: food poisoning. Same with my friend. Except he could sit it out on the toilet at home. To be honest, no matter how many times we've been here, THAT'S not possible. The shop should be closed immediately. Calls over the next few days to alert the restaurant to the fact that there was apparently no hygiene in their kitchen were also unsuccessful. Nobody answers the phone. Something like this should be given to the responsible public order office together with the report from the doctor...

We have been regular guests for decades. The food is always at the same level, the service is very on point and the boss Claudia always takes time for her guests. A must go for us. Reservations are strongly recommended as it is very busy.

Food is mediocre to snack quality, service takes a long time, drinks only come after 45 minutes, the food after 1.5 hours. Have slacked off a lot.

It was our first time there and we loved everything. Good food, nice ambience and good service.

The food is still good even after years. Priced a touch too expensive for what is on offer. Service is always a bit slow, but very friendly

My absolute favorite dish is Cerdo a la Mama and hot mango for dessert The strawberry margerita is also so delicious 😍

If you want to eat Mexican in Nuremberg, you can't avoid El Mexicano. Fantastic, original food, humane prices, super friendly service. An absolute recommendation. The restaurant was already great when it was still called Tabasco, and as we found out today, it is probably still the head chef from back then. The corn on the cob is a poem, the garlic butter is definitely homemade, and the mixed platter with enchilada, taco, beans and baked potatoes almost exceeded our capacity. The Buttenheimer beer also goes great with it. And if you pay under 65 euros for two people including drinks, then you really can't fault it. Please go everyone so that this jewel can be preserved for another 25 years.

Have been eating there for years. Reasonably priced. The taste is also very good

Very tasty food at fair prices. Very friendly and good service. Definitely coming back.

There is very tasty food here and it is usually quick to get the food. However, it is best to make a reservation or arrive as early as possible. If you are early, you may not be able to sit there for long because the next guests who have reserved arrive. This has never been a problem for us as we just eat and then leave straight away.

Super delicious food. As always.

Very tasty and very friendly staff. The ambience is great.

The food is not Mexican, it's a version of tex-mex food. I wouldn't recommend it if You want to experience Mexican food. The prices were too expensive.

Food was tasty, but the ribs could have been a little firmer. Nice atmosphere, but a bit outdated.

Very nice restaurant. The food was very tasty. In my opinion, this restaurant has a very large selection of dishes compared to some other restaurants... which slimmed down their menu a lot after Corona. However, if you want to visit the place on a Friday evening, I would recommend coming by public transport. Finding a parking space is very difficult. Lots of resident parking!!

Super tasty, friendly service!!!

Food has no taste, as a Mexican there is no chipotle sauce and the salsa tastes bland. Cola not carbonated

Always delicious and fresh. Only to recommend.

Delicious as always and we've been coming here for 25 years.

Actually a nice shop with delicious food...but it was my second time eating there on New Year's Eve...to my surprise, I didn't think about it, the same menu as last year...but it still tasted good regardless. I had the feeling that an effort had been made last year...the waitresses were very smartly dressed in a traditional way...and even back then I would have liked authentic music (Spanish/Mexican) to round it off...and no radio Antenne Bayern Müll...something again this year was the case. You come in to the fiery Mexican and Michael Jackson is singing from the speakers 👎

Very nice and you'll be full too

Wie immer alles top. Wir waren zum Silvester essen. Dankeschön

Sehr leckeres Essen, die Mitarbeiter auch sehr freundlich. Bei dem Essen wird man auf jeden fall satt :) und was auch immer das für ein Tequila am Schluss ist, ist sooo lecker

Das Essen war sehr gut und das Preis Leistungsverhältniss war gut. Der Service war sehr nett. Man hat auch ohne Reservierung einen Tisch für zwei Personen bekommen und das zur Zeit der Weihnachtsfeiern, fand ich super.

Super leckeres Essen! Und eine große Auswahl an Cocktails! 💯

Zum ersten Mal da gewesen und einfach begeistert. Das Essen war top und Service ebenfalls. Wunderschöner Lokal und super Gastfreundschaft. Kann ich nur weiter empfehlen. Lg

Wir kommen schon seit Jahren zum Essen hier her und die Qualität war immer super. Egal ob das Essen oder Personal, einfach top

Schönes Lokal, sehr nettes Service Personal, Essen ist lecker, aber es fehlt leider etwas das Spiel mit dem Gewürz, um wirklich authentisch zu sein.

Wir waren schon eine sehr lange Zeit nicht mehr da. Essen nach wie vor super! Menge und Preis im Einklang. Bedienung sehr nett . Die Auswahl an Speisen ist grandios. Wenn man in Nürnberg ist auf alle Fälle ein Besuch wert, wenn mal was anders Essen möchte. Macht weiter so wir kommen gerne wieder ! Zu empfehlen als Nachspeise Hot Mango!

Sehr guter Mexikaner, tolles Essen in einem super schönem Lokal! Wir hatten ein Geburtstagskind dabei und es wurde vom Personal gesungen und ein kleiner Kuchen und etwas zum anstoßen gebracht, das war sehr, sehr nett! Zeitweise wartet man schon sehr lange auf ein Getränk, gerade am Anfang, aber darüber kann man bei so einem tollen Laden auch mal hinwegsehen. 😄

Ich war nach über 25 Jahren mal wieder beim Mexikaner, das Lokal hat sich kaum verändert. Das Essen ist immer noch sehr gut 👍 Ich habe Spare Ribs gegessen, die waren immer noch so lecker wie damals. Auch meine Frau und Freunde die dabei waren, waren sehr zufrieden. Da gehen wir mit Sicherheit wieder hin. Kann ich nur empfehlen.

Tolles Essen, top netter Service. Cocktails super lecker. Coco loco schmeckt mal überragend 1*

Waren zu 4.essen freundliche Mitarbeiter gutes Essen Wir kommen gerne wieder

Sehr guter Mexikaner..waren öfters da das Essen ist immer gleich lecker 😋

Sehr gutes mexicanisches Essen und freundliche Bedienungen.

Essen gut Atmosphäre auch aber Personal nicht freundlich u. wenig intressiert

Kaltes Bier und nasse Enchiladas. Leider ein fail.

Bedienung und Ambiente ist ok, dass Essen wie von Bofrost. Mit mexikanischen Essen hat das hier leider nichts zu tun.

Honestly speaking i do not understand the rating they have. This is definitely not a Mexican food restaurant. Food was extremely oily and without spices ( and i do not eat very spicy in general). Tortillas were super bad quality. Friendly staff & good Margherita. Overall: I do not recommend it for food. For drinks, yes

Freundliches Service, sehr professionell. Schnelle Bedienung. Leckeres Essen, Auswahl ist groß, super Speisekarte. Alle Speisen waren gut serviert auf den Tellern und alles war frisch und warm. Getränke wurden auch wunderschön vorbereitet. Gute Preise. Schöne Atmosphäre. Gerne wieder

Hat alles gepasst, nur der Außenbereich könnte etwas gepflegter sein

Wartezeit auf die Getränke 45 Minuten! Fleisch war totgebraten (Fleischplatte). Vorspeisenplatte Mexico aber empfehlenswert.

Sehr lecker, sehr netter Service...wir kommen wieder 😀

Ein sehr schönes Restaurant in Nürnberg. Leckeres Essen. Auch der Service war sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wenn man gerne Mexikanisch Essen gehen möchte findet hier definitiv was ... kommen gerne hierher und uns schmeckt es immer wieder sehr sehr gut ... sehr zu empfehlen 👍🏼

Essen war sehr gut. Service war auch prima. Ambiente ist ein wenig in die Jahre gekommen. Es war auch leider extrem heiss und leider waren die Ventilatoren aus.

Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Super nette Bedienung und sehr gutes Essen. Auch unser Hund war willkommen. Ein gelungener Abend! Wir kommen gerne wieder. Danke Euch

Wir waren gestern endlich wieder dort. Nach wie vor für uns der beste Mexicaner in Nürnberg. Das Essen einfach super lecker und der Service sehr freundlich und sehr aufmerksam. Besser geht es nicht und wir kommen immer wieder gerne.

War sehr schön.hat lange gedauert bisxessen kam aberxsehr lecker.

Riesige Portionen, alle sehr nett, sehr kinderfreundlich! Ausgezeichnetes Essen!

Атмосферно и очень вкусно , девочка официантка из Чехии умничка, с настроением , обслуживание супер. Порции большие и очень вкусно.

Nice restaurant with good food. I've been coming back to this restaurant for a few years now and I still enjoy it. Still good food, service and atmosphere. Recommend it! No surprises, just a nice time.
