Taquería El Mexicano, Mexican restaurant in Colombres, northern Spain
Taquería El Mexicano is a small Mexican restaurant near the center of Colombres, a village in Ribadedeva in northern Spain. It has seating inside a stone building with wooden floors and a covered terrace outside, where guests can order tacos, burritos, enchiladas, ceviche, and drinks like margaritas and sangria.
The restaurant was founded by a Mexican family with roots in Mexico City, who brought their cooking tradition to this corner of Asturias. It has been in Colombres for over eight years and renews its menu every year to offer new dishes alongside the classics.
The recipes come from a Mexican family tradition and are kept alive in a small village in northern Spain. Dishes like cochinita pibil, aguachile shrimp, and stuffed jalapeños are made by combining imported Mexican ingredients with fresh, local produce.
The restaurant is easy to reach on foot from the center of Colombres. Because the space is small, booking ahead is a good idea, especially on weekends and summer evenings when tables fill up fast.
The restaurant offers a catering service for private events, so the food can be enjoyed beyond the dining room. The terrace also welcomes dogs, making it one of the few outdoor spots in this part of Asturias where pets are allowed.
