"Well what can I say, what a fantastic meal we’ve had tonight at The Mex in Saint Ives. I can honestly say this is the best Mexican I’ve ever had and quite possibly the best meal I’ve had in Saint Ives! The food was absolutely beautiful and very flavoursome. Me and my party shared the nachos to start and we all agreed that they were the best nachos ever. They were covered in cheese and chilli and were so tasty! For mains we had burritos and fajitas and again they may have been the best we ever had! The service was top standard from the 2 ladies who served us, they very welcoming, attentive, friendly and professional. Infact we enjoyed our meal so much we’ve booked again for tomorrow night! If you’re reading reviews to see if you should visit or not, then take it from to get yourselves down there!"

good Mexican cuisine is hard to find in Britain, but the mex certainly meets the point. my partner and I enjoyed delicious starter dishes and dishes, but ran out of the room for dessert.

One of the best Mexican restaurants I have had in the UK. Price is reasonable, but the portions are both filling and tasty. A hidden gem is St Ives. Loved the caramelized sweet potatoes.

Amazing service and even better food. We didn’t book but we’re fitted in and the food was fresh and fast. The steak fajitas is definitely a special dish. The churros were a beautiful finish to a perfect meal. Love the range of Mexican drinks on other and the tequila options are vast.

had a nice eating with our 3 children, went in early 5.30 and table booked again at 7 o'clock. waitress was fab, attentive to children, burritos were first class. a brilliant authentic experience! small restaurant supplements the intimacy of everything, a little of mexiko directly in stives.

absolutely delicious! if you know how Mexican taste is, then they are safe here. I would simply pull out the granatapfel seeds to be 100% more mexican, but I feel that there were the colors for the dish. the personal is friendly and beautiful we had taken away and the packaging was great! we will be coming back

As a fan of his previous fish restaurant, I was excited to see that Chef Ovi and his wonderful wife had taken over a local takeaway... Needless to say, though the premises has downsized, the quality has not. Amazingly fresh Cod, perfectly cooked chips, moreish homemade tartare sauce, and service with a smile from the great Front-of-House team! I will certainly be telling people about this new venture and I can't wait to return. Steve

My husband and I came across this little gem when walking from the car park to the harbour. We ordered cod each and one portion of chips. Very friendly staff serving and gave us a pot of homemade tartar sauce on the house We found a bench near the harbour and tucked in absolutely yummy and the best battered cod we have had for a long time, generous portion of chips and plenty for two. Really enjoyed the tartar sauce.What a great find and no hesitation recommending this take out

"So let us share our experience, We went in tonight as a family after seeing that it home made food on the drive to sennen and looked online and had a good look at the food available on the menu also looking to see if it was dog friendly and it ticked all the boxes, Upon arrival me and my wife went in 1st to ask if we could have a table for food and if dogs can go inside and staff were a little unsure but they confirmed we could upon asking for a table for 7 but one in a pram he said we don’t have the availability to cater I was looking at a table big enough and eventually said that this table was available whilst being seated we had 2 table one clean and the 2nd just been finished with so needed a clean but he came and cleaned both tables and he squirted the cleaner on a clean table and the over spray bounced off the table and went over our selfs then we were handed a menu freshly printed A4 paper thrown on the table (WET TABLE) so they stuck to the table upon agreeing what we wanted we went to the bar within 2-3 mins of being seated we knew what we wanted and when we asked for the meal it was OUT OF STOCK (Sunday lunch) ok fair so as I was with a family member at the bar I quickly rushed back to the table to ask my daughter of an alternative she wasn’t happy, So I made a meal up of all the extras on the menu so I went back to the bar to find my family member ordered 2 fish and chips then I realised my wife also wanted Sunday lunch so I quickly rushed back to ask her what she wanted and went back to the bar just as my family member left and asked for fish and chips was also sold out also! 99% of the menu was SOLD OUT this should of been discussed upon arrival not as we were ordering I run and operate my own business and this isn’t how I would treat my customers this isn’t how an establishment should be ran! Even when I was standing trying to order a member of staff was standing there arm against the wall doing nothing while customers are standing waiting to be served! So we decided not to eat and my family member went back to the bar to ask for a refund as we couldn’t eat as a family and the staff were iffy about offering a refund but 10 minutes later they did refund my family member as it became a scene for other people as they could see what had happened! This establishment should be call the 1st and late time you come here! We ended up walking to the chip shop down the road for food we are very disappointed in this company and establishment! For anyone who wants to eat please make sure they HAVE STOCK how can this establishment run without stock? Never again tonight they lost over £200 revenue due to this situation!"
