EL GOLDIE — Restaurant in Copenhagen Municipality

What night and what a place! I cannot recommend El Goldie enough! I celebrated my 28th birthday at El Goldie with a group of friends and we had such an amazing night! The food was spectacular - it is so hard to get good Mexican food in CPH and I have been missing it since my trip to MXC, but I think I have found my new go to spot! Not only was food delicious and plentiful, the cocktails were to die for. I believe we had at least 20 Mezcal margaritas and we would have ordered 20 more if we could! I am not kidding when I say that this is my favorite cocktail in all of CPH, besides the bloody mary at Ruby. We stayed until close and the staff gracefully let us hang around, while they closed up. Thank you to Robert and Skylar for the great service and for letting us be as festive as we wanted - it was the best birthday and hopefully you will have us...

The food was very tasty, the atmosphere is cozy, and the service was kind and friendly. However there were two major negative points for us:

The service was very slow (to the point that we were about to leave) and the biggest surprise was that we got charged 15€ for water that we didn’t order, as it was already served for us. We ordered drinks with our menu, so seeing that on top of it we were charged for tap water was an unpleasant surprise, and even though it is in the grey zone, it left us with an unpleasant feeling of “we have been fooled”, and on top of it the payment asks for tips.

I hope this serves as feedback to reconsider this policy. I do understand that that businesses are very expensive to maintain, but this type of policies are the ones that prevents some customers of coming back.

Again, the place, food and service was...

We had the menu which was great and amazing value for the price (285kr per person). The cocktails and drinks were delicious, and most importantly, everything on the menu tasted authentically Mexican (one guest in our party is Mexican and approved)! It’s hard to find places in Copenhagen that both nail the flavor and have reasonable prices; El Goldie does just that. The staff was so nice and welcoming and our waitress took the time to talk to us about our visit after we had paid.

Highlights were the salsa that came with the tortilla chips, the mushroom tostada, churro and the horchata! Honestly I’d come back just for the horchata 😋

Only point of criticism is that a few dishes (like the guacamole and the birria) could use a tiny bit more salt. Easily fixed when the kind staff brought us some upon request ☺️ We...
