Mexican gastronomy, like a kind of faith, gathers thousands of palates, willing to surrender to the noble art of tasting a whole national recipe book. Given such a scenario, it is logical to think that a city like Seville would have dozens of Mexican restaurants in its streets.
The truth is that, against all odds, Seville still has few authentic Mexican restaurants, dedicated not so much to Tex-Mex as to the pure dishes that, from Baja California to Jalisco, are the most popular. Jalisco Oaxaca or Yucatan, make up one of the most famous and delicious cuisines in the world.
We are talking about cochinita pibil, chiles en nogada, any variety of moles, tinga, tacos and ceviches, k’eek’en, sopes or tequila. In short, these Mexican restaurants are tradition but also street delight and avant-garde licenses to give a tribute to the palate.
1. Thirst for Mexico
Sed de México is the flagship of this famous gastronomy in the heart of downtown Santa Cruz. Undoubtedly this is the first of the Mexican restaurants in Seville that the reader must try to explore in depth the best of the national recipe book.
A journey through each Mexican state to discover with surprise the goodness that this cuisine has to offer. A promise for avid palates that will recognize in Sed de México more than one added value. From the product, honest and first class, an indisputable talent behind the stove and its dream location overlooking the Giralda.

2. Mano de Santo
Located in the heart of Alameda de Hércules, Mano de Santo is already a well-known Mexican restaurant in the city. Tasty flavors brought from across the pond in the purest Mexican style: cochinita pibil, tacos al pastor, ceviches or tuna tostadas and shrimp aguachile.
📍 Alameda de Hércules, 90
3. La Cantina Catrina
The neighborhoods of El Porvenir and Los Bermejales celebrate the presence of this small but resultón local that is at the same time another of the consecrated Mexican restaurants in Seville. Cantina Catrina can become a reason to take a detour and let yourself go on this gastronomic journey.
A menu that includes a large number of handmade dishes that are more than just an excuse. Carnitas and other tacos, enchiladas or Oaxacan tamales. Its menu is in the process of modification and expansion, good news for those who like to try new proposals.
📍 Avenida de Finlandia, 14 | c/ Bogotá, 9
4. La Frida
To think of the idea that is still held in many corners of Andalusia of Mexican gastronomy is to think of Tex-Mex. Prejudice would make us think, then, that La Frida, by indulging in certain fusions with Mediterranean cuisine, would fall into the cliché of downgrading the cuisine of the Aztec country. Quite the contrary. Experience is a degree and they know that in the kitchens of La Frida, which elevate the culinary tradition of both peoples to excellence.
A casual space that presents signature tacos without giving up the classics, an interpretation of chiles en nogada or lamb birria with mint and parsley parmentier. These are hits that will entertain the diner who drops by this space, one of the Mexican restaurants of reference in Seville that dares to combine more than Mexico and Texas.
📍 c/ Betis, 41
5. La Cantina Mexicana
The premise of this Mexican restaurant in Seville is, as its name advances, to eat as you would in an authentic Mexican cantina. A treasure a few meters from the Plaza del Salvador that will conquer the diner with its tacos and quilaquiles, flautas or huarache al pastor.
By the way, those who prefer tex mex options will find a couple of succulent options in their menu.
📍c/ Francos, 14
6. Taqueria La Lupe
It could be said that the bet of Taqueria La Lupe is as honest as praiseworthy and grateful for betting on a menu with many options for vegan people. A bet for tradition and flavor with very adjusted prices and in an unbeatable location. If you are curious, here they serve authentic micheladas so you can give this strange mixture of flavors a try.
