    The Texas Steakhouse restaurant on O'Connell Street do a limited range of Tex Mex style food but I haven't tried it myself.

    Is there a country not represented by a restaurant in Limerick? :D

    No Mongolian restaurant in the city. Ate at one in Templebar in Dublin last year, excellent food and it is cooked there in front of you too.

    Thanks for replies all..

    No Lebanese restaurant here either.. now that has got to be my fav food ever!

    Limerick needs a Vietnamese restaurant and Bazz your ahead of me a mongolian place would be the job. Had some mexican food in The Texas Steak House on Friday its good stuff and decent portions much better than spur who's food does fluctuate up and down a lot. Can't wait for "The Mexican" to open Limerick needs Steak Ranchero had it in Mexico best food I ever ate

    yes. a mongolian would be great. used to frequent the one in cork. five pound and you'd go up and down as much times as you like and they cook it on front of you!!!it was my fav. restaurant. sheer quantity and tastiness and healthwise. great after training. pig out. mmmmm

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,698 ✭✭✭IrishMike


    Now there is some good news

    Anyone been ????

    Is 'The Mexian' not a proper Mexican restuarant?!?!


  • Registered Users Posts: 383 ✭✭cyberspi


    'the mexican' is more like a take away. I thought the new place was on steamboat quay?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 153 ✭✭motormouthmable


    things are getting mixed up. "the mexican" is a take away/diner type on o'connell street. the new mexican restaurant "los amigos" opened just now between the locke bar and moll darby (i think that "los amigos" place it was a french restaurant before). was walking there and they even have LCD TVs outside in the smoking area! how insane is this?!?!?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,721 ✭✭✭elmolesto


    I went to Los Amigos twice since they opened. Its real mexican food ( I know the owners, they brought a chef from Mexico ). The food is delicious but the service can be slow if they are busy.

    Los amigos is alright, kinda lost points cos our starter and main course were very similar but thats not really their fault. Their cocktails are AMAZING though, try the mojito!

    Nowhere in Limerick is within a street of 'la salsa' in galway though. Cheap, filling and gorgeous :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,424 ✭✭✭440Hz


    Hhmmmmm i had forgotten about this.. might have to check it out :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,426 ✭✭✭sioda


    Well finally got there last nite and what can I tell ya it was Yum. Good varyed menu and even people who arent to familiar with mexican food will find some thing they like.

    Bottle of Corona 3.90 cheaper than most pubs in town and the cocktails are good especially the mojito gotta agree with elbows.

    Expense wise starters from 6.50 to 10.00 and mains from 13.50 to 23.50 so not too bad at all.

    All in all high praise and high recommendations. If going on a weekend definatly book.

    Cool! I Might pop in there after I go ice-skating next week. :D

    A friend went last week and the service was very poor. When they complained the waitress at the end of the evening asked them if they would like to try a Mexican drink. Thinking it was on the house they all said yes but the price was added to the bill. She seriously didn't recommend it. The food wasn't good enough to warrant such bad service.

    Anyone got a phone number for los amigos??
