Reviews for Radio Mexico Taqueria & Bar

I visited Radio Mexico for dinner on Friday under the recommendation from a couple of different friends and it did not disappoint! There are a few different dining spaces but I was seated in the main room and on a table which was great as a solo diner as I expected to be seated on the counter so positive already! I ordered the chuleta de cordera which was a lamb cutlet, the BBQ pork belly taco de carne and the papa's and chorizo quesadilla along with the pineapple Tommy's marg. Everyone was delicious and so flavoursome! My favourite was the quesadill and I could've eaten so many more of then because they were so morish! Service from the staff were lovely, they were all friendly. The restaurant was busy and naturally noisy but with a good vibe. There were a mix of couples, group of friends and even families. I will definitely be a return customer!!!

The food didn't blow me away but sufficed. We ordered a couple of tacos and some ceviche. The tacos were a bit cold, but the flavours were okay. We didnt enjoy the barbacoa lamb variant (very dry). But the carne asada and scallop was decent. The ceviche was a real let down for its price, the portion was quite small. The whole dish was also bitter which was quite unpleasant and the actual deal breaker for me. Also the tables near us were extremely rowdy and loud, so we left early. The waitress was very lovely, and attentive, the only good part of our experience.

Very popular on Monday night with 2 for 1 margaritas (highly recommend!). We didn't have a booking but were seated immediately (table of 2). The battered fish and pork belly tacos and corn chips and salsa (three types from mild to chilli ++) were very tasty.

Nothing fancy Mexican food. Delicious hand made salsas for sure. The tacos are 5” and seem a bit expensive for the creativity involved: I sure appreciated alternate vegetarian fillings, that’s a nice touch. Good solid place, interesting decor, easy to get into for this particular Saturday lunch. A block from the boardwalk.

Food was great and so were the cocktails. Yet atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Unfortunately, we sat at the bar. Where our cocktail mixologist continually flicked his drinks while creating magic all over me. I left the (Restaurant) with stains all over my pants. Accidental splashing is never something I would complain about. However, he knew he splashed me the first time and he did it at least 10 more times. not happy Jan! My wife and I were seated at the bar at 6:10 Sunday afternoon 2 November. So you can check your cameras for clarification.
