La Curandera Eixample — Restaurant in Barcelona

I feel sorry for anybody who thinks that this is “authentic” Mexican food. I’m from Texas, have lived in Mexico, and currently live in Valencia. I have low expectations with Mexican food in Spain, but tried this on a visit to Barcelona based on the reviews. Margaritas are made with lemon, not lime. Tacos are served with lemon, not lime.
