"So far, the best Mexican food I've had in Italy. This restaurant is so popular that people line up before it even opens. Definitely make a reservation. It's worth it. Will definitely go back.
I live in venice, and driving to Vicenza is worth it to me for good food."

"As a lover of Mexican cuisine, I was pleasantly surprised to find a taste of Mexico here in Italy. While some authentic south-of-the-border flavors were notably absent, the experience was still enjoyable.

To begin, we were greeted with chips and salsa—although the chips had a grainier texture compared to those found in the States. The highlight of my meal was the Picadillo Burrito, which was both delicious and indulgently greasy—a delightful treat. The rice served alongside had a distinctly Italian flair, deviating from the traditional flavorful Mexican variety I'm accustomed to.

The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, and the staff provided excellent service throughout our visit. While I still crave the authentic Mexican food of the States and Mexico, this establishment offers a worthy alternative that satisfies my cravings."

"We ordered 6 glasses of Margarita and Margarita Rocks for 42 euros, both were disappointing, no salt on the rim of the glasses, the Margaritas were bland, the food was good but the tortillas were bought already prepared, the 3 🌶️ dishes were just up to the normal standard for Mexico. The beans taste Mexican."

Experience in Vicenza, Italy by Paola

To eat out is a bit expensive, anyhow La fojeta has particular recipes of risotto ( rice), Il covo del ribelle is the best place for mexican food and in Bar Commercio during summer for few euros is possible to have spritz and such a buffet that you don't need to have dinner later.
