Luz Verde — Restaurant in Paris

I wouldn't call this a Mexican food. It's more Mexican Inspired by French Cuisine or you can call it French Mexican Fusion. The spices aren't used like the typical Mexican cuisine. Here is a lot of different type of pickled vegetables and seasoned with the French touch. The only thing used that is in the real Mexican cuisine is the tortilla wrap, lots of cilantro, and they have guacamole and chips. It's still made with the French touch. The tacos served here are called street tacos. This will give you the idea of the size of the tacos, which is 2 small bites per taco. There are 2 street tacos per order. We really did enjoy the razor clams (Couteaux). This is a must when you order here. We also ordered some street tacos: Chicken (Pollo - poulet), Beef tongue (Lengua - Langue de boeuf), Shrimp (Camarones - Gambas), and Pork Pulled (Cochinita - Cochon noir de bigorre). My favorite was the shrimp and the beef tongue. Beef tongue doesn't taste like beef tongue. Shrimp was perfectly grilled. The chicken was over cooked. It was very dry. The pork pulled was ok, nothing to crave over for me. Sorry, the Cochinita and Pollo came out at the end and I didn't...

We got there at opening hour at 7pm and could easily get a table. Service was good and waitress friendly. We ordered 5 different types of tacos, shrimp was def. my favorite, beef tongue my least favorite because the meat was a little thick and chewy. I only give 3 stars because I had so high expectations for this place and since I moved to Paris from New York I was desperate to find a good taqueria. Here the negative points: it gets very crowded and quite noisy and space is limited. the food, even though you can taste that they use fresh ingredients, is not worth the hype and money. I have read only positive reviews about their homemade guacamole, but I have to say that I didn't like the mashed beans in it. I prefer the classic version with a looot of avocado's. But that's just a question of taste. Drinks are good. If in the area and no lines, I would go there for a Paloma cocktail and...

I've been here twice before and the food is always good but the service is terrible. We arrived at 19h30 and we were told there would be around 1 hour wait so we (party of 4) said that was fine and we would wait at the bar. There was one table of 8 that wasn't even ordering food that just kept that table the whole night. The other tables weren't emptying fast because no one was clearing their plates or bringing them them the menus. In all fairness the food was coming out fast. One table sat with empty finished plates for almost 30 minutes. In the end we waited till 21h15 for a table (and we were first in line for a table) so due to their terrible service they are missing out on so much business. Wouldn't return even if the...
