The chicken quesadilla was super delicious and the chicken tacos are amazing. The horchata is a 10/10!

Highly Recommended Mexican Food in Tainan
My family and I recently had dinner at Mexcafe and it was an amazing experience. The restaurant is located in a great location in Tainan and has a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive to our needs, making us feel right at home.
Now, let's talk about the food. Mexcafe serves some of the best Mexican food I've ever tasted. The menu is extensive and offers a wide range of options for both vegetarians and meat-lovers. We tried the tacos, nachos, and quesadillas, and each dish was packed with flavor and fresh ingredients. The portions are generous, so make sure to come hungry!
To accompany the food, we also tried some of their delicious cocktails. The Margarita was perfectly balanced and refreshing, and the horchata was a sweet and creamy treat. My personal favorite was the Cuba libre, which had just the right amount of rum and Coke. They also have a variety of shots available, perfect for a night out with friends.
Prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of food you receive. Overall, I highly recommend Mexcafe to anyone who loves Mexican food or is looking for a great restaurant to try in Tainan. The food, atmosphere, and service are top-notch, making it a must-visit spot. We will definitely be coming back soon!
The atmosphere and the service is good -- there are new owners who are Colombian and Taiwanese and they're very friendly. The music is very traditional and reminds me of the taquerias back home in California.
However, the quesadillas, tacos, and nachos are pretty average and the price is too expensive for what you get. For the tacos, the corn tortillas are thick and aren't warmed up like they're supposed to be and they're dry. They break apart very easily which isn't the sign of a good corn tortilla. The guacamole that goes on top of the nachos isn't fresh either and very thin and watery. Overall, it doesn't seem like the products were fresh when i went as most of the food was cold.
The horchata is also okay. It's a bit sweet compared to traditional Mexican horchata but it's good for the Tainan drink palette. Definitely a taiwanese-mexican fusion over traditional Mexican.
Overall, if you're looking for some Mexican food in Tainan, it's an *alright* place to go. But don't expect authentic Mexican cuisine. It's more of a Taiwanese interpretation of Mexican tacos, quesadillas, and nachos.

It used to be hands down best Mexican place in town! However as the owners have left Taiwan they have sold it to people who I don’t think understand Mexican good. The last and most likely final time I will ever go back was very disappointing and worst than most Mexican foods in Tainan. Very sad I need to change this review….

Hands down best Mexican place in town. So good! Make sure you get the steak! Best taco in town! The vibe is great too! And the owners are super friendly!
My family had tacos, nachos and horchatas. It was mouthwatering quality and felt like we were in Nogales! The food is on point, the vibes, the truck, and the music were all nostalgic. Much thanks to the chef who helped us feel like we were back. Awesome experience, fantastic street tacos!! Top recommendation in Taiwan for Mexican food
We were looking for dinner after a long day of museums and walking 10 km.
Google recommended a Mexican restaurant nearby. So we're on a treasure hunt. "You've arrived" and we're surprised that it was a good truck not a restaurant proper.
Great, the couple who own the place look like good , genuine people.
So we ordered their recommendations, and margarita. nachos and taco - huge servings , good for 2 people.
Food is good , we really enjoyed it.
The drinks were of a good size , satisfaction!!
Feels like a great place to hang out. They need more tables and chairs. The crowd was coming in when we're about to leave at 8-ish.
Highly recommended 👍👍👍
The best Mexican food I've had while living here in Taiwan. Their carnitas was so tasty, crispy, and genuine! I'm so happy I got to eat here.
Their orchata drink was on point too, it brought me back to Latin America.
I forgot to take photos of the food... Because it was way too tasty haha
Thank you so much! Muchísimas gracias ❤️❤️❤️
Really good. Great frozen Margarita. Nice Mexican lager called Nachos tonight!
We had vegetarian nachos - with really thin chips, refried beans, what seemed like melted Spanish cheese, some salsa and guacamole. As with everything else you can also have them with pork, chicken, bacon, or steak.
The mushroom quesadillas were very nice, though a touch salty.
My steak taco - flour tortilla - was steak, refried beans, a bit of salad and sauce. But mostly steak! Very good.
Is a small independent food truck, with perhaps the best and the most authentic Latin-Mexican food in the area. The owners/chefs are incredibly friendly and you’re guaranteed to have a nice conversation with them anytime. They also have a variety of drinks including the traditional horchata, margarita, and micheladas... all super recommended. Very affordable, family-friends friendly, nice shareable portions. In conclusion, good food, good drinks good company, good environment, what else could you ask?
