Mexal In Lecce

Service a bit distracted at times, food average

Mexal is a charming Mexican restaurant in the heart of Lecce: the atmosphere is authentic and meticulously crafted, with a colorful and welcoming setting that instantly conveys the warmth of Mexico. The menu offers tasty, beautifully presented dishes, with an average quality/price ratio. The staff is attentive, friendly, and helpful. I didn't particularly enjoy the quesadilla, which I expected to have fresh mushrooms instead of pickled mushrooms. My chicken burrito was good, but overall the cuisine remains solid and consistent with the offerings. A recommended restaurant for those seeking a genuine and convivial Mexican experience in a cheerful and refined atmosphere.

A full immersion in the Mexican atmosphere, it's just a shame I won't be able to go back for All Saints' Day....

We only came to enjoy a few cocktails, and we had a great time! A great atmosphere, pleasant service and good cocktails, what more could you ask for? ☺️

It was a pleasant surprise to find authentic Mexican food in the historic center. The price-performance ratio is very good and affordable. It's best to avoid peak days because the service can be somewhat overwhelmed, although the staff is always warm and friendly. The furnishings are simple, but this makes up for the overall good experience. There's no parking nearby, so it's best to walk. In short, an excellent option for enjoying Mexican food in southern Italy.

A wonderful Mexican restaurant in the heart of Lecce. Characterful atmosphere, good food, and welcoming staff. They also make excellent cocktails, making Mexal a great place for after-dinner drinks (I've personally tried it on several occasions :)
