Today post is all about the best and the worst Mexican restaurant in Antwerp by our personal opinion. We chosen two restaurants that gave us a personal impression.
Today is the battle between Tropicos and Gringo's Cantina!
We start with our favorite called Tropicos. If you like Mexican/Brazilian food and your staying in cold Belgium this is the restaurant to be! You start of with warm chips served with guacamole. Than order crispy tacos that are filled with a good taste of beef and sour-cream. We also recommend the Brazilian ribs that are served with sweet and sour sauce and real Brazilian beef Picania! You have a huge choice from different cocktails with mojito, bleu curracao, tequila, etc... The restaurant gives you all the good vibes of Mexico and Brazil combined. Also the restaurant gives you welcome feeling and waiters are always happy to help.

This restaurant gets a 4 out of 5 stars on the Stew Scale! Everything is amazing only its a bit pricey.
Don't get scared of the pictures the appeal on the photos that we took is not great but trust us the food is to die for!
Gringo's Cantina had allot of costumers in the weekend. They do not take any reservations so there is a possibility you can wait over 90 minutes at the bar. We had a feeling that this place has a good reputation. The inside of the restaurant had a cute design like it was all hand crafted. It is nice but did not has that Mexican touch. When the waitress came she told us we couldn't do any changes on the menu. We started off with still water and a mojito. It wasn't bad but after a first sip we know we had better in other restaurant's. Off course you can not review a restaurant without ordering food. We ordered enchilada and some guacamole on the side. At first it looked all good but it was strange to eat guacamole out of a plastic container. The food was not that satisfying. We left feeling full but not happy.

This restaurant gets a 2 out of 5 stars on the Stew Scale! We would not recommend this place but we had to try it for our lovely readers. But as Latin food lovers we would always come back to Tropicos for our cravings.
