PINK ELEPHANT — Restaurant in Graz

TLDR: If you want good drinks and atmosphere come here. Don't come here for the "Mexican" food.

As a Mexican coming to Austria, I expected the food here to not be anything like the states or Mexico. I know I won't come by a truly authentic Mexican restaurant and that the Mexican food here would be bad. Unfortunately, I was right. The food here was bad COMPARED to the USA/Mexico; I understand the cooking traditions here are different, but unfortunately for "Mexican" food, this restaurant is bad.

Bad aspects include... Food: The salsa was very lukewarm; as a tomato based dish, it should be served cold as patrons can get sick from tomatoes that sit in room temperature for too long. The "nachos" were not true Nachos, the menu should just say "Tortilla Chips."" If you want Nachos, then you have to order the most expensive "Nacho" that has cheese on it. The burritos were very mediocre and came with a side of ranch that didn't pair well. The ranch is most likely a cultural aspect that the local patrons seemed to enjoy, I didn't enjoy it. The burritos and tacos should come served with salsa rojo or verde. Meat was not seasoned with any Mexican spice, but the guacamole was quite good!

Prices: The prices reminded me of a gentrification taco restaurant in Los Angeles, everything was overpriced. For the flavors I tasted, the burritos should be £10 MAX. It's insane how the small churros cost £7.90. The prices for the margaritas were okay.

Good aspects include... Drinks: The drinks here were the best part. The Mexican Latte was essentially hot Horchata, which was delightful! The margaritas were ok, and their "Bio-Lemonade with Qinta" was good.

Atmosphere: Great atmosphere with nice servers who...

Back Again – Even Better the Second Time!

I first visited Pink Elephant last year and had such a great experience that I absolutely had to come back—and it did not disappoint! Located in an extraordinary spot right in the heart of Graz, this place continues to impress with its vibrant atmosphere and top service. The staff was incredibly helpful and welcoming, just like I remembered. A special mention goes to Daniel, the talented barman, who once again delivered drinks that were not only delicious but prepared with real dedication and professionalism. His attention to detail and friendly approach added so much to the overall experience. Whether it's your first visit or your fifth, Pink Elephant is a must-stop in Graz for anyone who appreciates quality drinks, great service, and a perfect city centre location. Can’t wait to...

The least authentic Mexican food I’ve ever had but the tacos, quesadillas, and churros I had were pretty good but nothing amazing compared to real Mexican food

Also, the food is way overpriced for how little you get

Servers never provided us with menus and we had to use the online menu to decide what we want and when we told him we were ready to order, they were surprised we hadn’t ordered yet (cause we spent 10 minutes waiting for them to provide menus before finding one online

We then waited an hour before being served food

I only leave two stars because the staff are nice and I don’t entirely blame them for the slow and sometimes non existent service due to the fact that it was quite...
