RePotzalia — Restaurant in Lisbon

For a Mexican place you expect to have flavorful food. This was not the case, even "spicier" foods were bland.

We had flautas, a typical Mexican dish where the taco is deep fried. The lamb ones left a bad taste in my mouth and the chicken were as if they were previously pre-frozen. Just like chicken nuggets but a lot more expensive.

Speaking of expensive, the place is super expensive for the quality of food it's delivered. If the quality was at question but not expensive that would be a case of "it is what it is", not this one.

Service was not up to the standards. Even though we had the food delivered at the same time for everyone, which is nice, the waiter didn't speak a word of Portuguese, nor English, which you should expect from a place located in Lisbon.

The best experience I had here were the margaritas which were really well done in my opinion.

We were craving something different, though eating delicious Portuguese food for over week, the family was craving something different, looking out our hotel window we saw this place. I’m so happy we did! It’s a chill neighborhood restaurant, casual. Immediately upon entering we smell the delicious scent of Mexican food. We ordered the guacamole and pico de gallo - both served with homemade tortilla chips. I order the sopes, my son the Al Pastor tacos, and my wife the chilaquiles (special of the day). While each dish was delicious, the sopes were the standout… because of the homemade blue corn thick tortilla which served as the base for the sopes was just amazing. The beans and rice were homemade and well seasoned… like someone’s grandmother was in the kitchen. I recommend this place if you’re in the neighborhood… looking for a change of place and need a jolt of some delicious home cooked food....

The servers were great - friendly, but my goodness was the food/experience disappointing. Maybe we caught them on an off night? But the tortillas and tortilla chips were horrifically stale, the guacamole had no avocado in it (it was basically some sort of pico de gallo salsa with a hint of green? Not sure what was going on but it was a liquid sauce) and you could barely taste any tequila in the drinks- as a mexicana I know a good margarita and I know good Mexican food and this was so off the mark. Super disappointing. They also never served us our main but due to the quality of the food we opted out of saying anything and took...
