Fresca Mexican Kitchen & Bar
If you want a great, chic and romantic ambience to go with your scrumptious burritos, then Fresca's is the place to be. The restaurant can get a little crowded, particularly on Friday nights, so be sure to book a table in advance or avoid the peak crowd. We recommend their Pulled Beef Tacos - made with homemade corn tortillas, barbecued marinated beef with chipotle, red cabbage, black sesame and green apple. It's truly a party for your taste buds.

Las Carretas Ampang
Las Carretas (translates to 'The Wagon' in Spanish) is the place to be for fresh margaritas and amazing fajitas. The restaurant dishes up more of a Tex-Mexican flavour to their food, rather than a truly authentic Mexican one, but nonetheless, it's still definitely worth a visit! Try the Chicken Chimichanga or Enchilada and the much-raved about salsa here. It also has a great Kid's Menu, so bring your entire family down for a scrumptious dining experience!

La Mexicana
La Mexicana is arguably the most authentic Mexican restaurant you'll find in Malaysia. This truly great joint is run by a Mexican-Italian Chef Carmela, whose culinary finesse and passion rings through with the spectacular dishes she cooks up. They include classics like Ceviche, Corn Tortilla Tacos stuffed with Yucatan-style slow-roasted Pork, and more. Top off your meal here with their great dessert options, like the Pastel La Mexicana - a nutty chocolate cake served with spicy hints of chili!

Loco Mexican Bar and Restaurant
Located at Changkat Bukit Bintang, Loco Mexican Bar and Restaurant is the perfect spot for your pre-party food fix! Tuck into their Deep-fried Corn Tortillas flute with Crispy Duck, before moving onto their scrumptious Tostadas. The restaurant opens till 3 in the morning, so you can still be guaranteed of a great meal if you're feeling peckish after a night out.

La Boca Latino Bar
This vibrant joint located in Pavilion KL dishes up not only Mexican cuisine, but also dishes from Peru, Cuba, Brazil and Argentina. If you haven't tried South American food, this is the place to be. Whether you're wolfing down a plate of Mexican tamales, Brazilian seafood moqueca or Peruvian ceviche, you're definitely guaranteed a gastronomic experience you'll truly love. With its inviting and genuine South American atmosphere, authentic food and beverage, and infectious Latino music, La Boca Latino is definitely worth a visit!
