    I can’t say Ive ever had authentic Mexican food before today. Was totally blown away by their fresh pork taco , incredible flavour and melt in your mouth and SO SO fresh !! I also had the beef taco which was rich and perfectly complimented the freshness of the pork one. Would definitely recommend trying them together. The two cocktails I had were super refreshing and made with fresh pineapple and grapefruit .. you could just taste the quality. Can’t wait to be back and work my way down the menu !! 😤😮‍💨🥰 PS : the staff were really the cherry on top :) super positive and helpful and made us feel right at home. The space was nicely heated and cosy. New favourite spot !

    My girlfriend and I had a fantastic date night at Mexicola Locale in Woodstock🖤. The vibe was fun and vibrant with colorful decor and great music that made the whole place feel alive 🖤. We shared a few tacos and especially loved the El Pastor and Saudero which were bursting with bold smoky flavours 🖤. The Paloma Grapefruit margarita was spot on and paired perfectly with the meal 🖤. Service was friendly and attentive and the whole experience felt warm and effortless 🖤. Definitely one of our new favorite spots in Cape Town 🖤.
