About Casa GourMex

Casa GourMex is a Mexican restaurant at 29 Poole Hill in Bournemouth, where the owner-chef cooks in view of customers and chats with them while he makes the food. That open cooking puts the person behind the menu within conversation range of the tables. The menu includes birria, pozole and menudo, and it also lists sandwiches alongside the Mexican dishes. Homemade drinks are made in-house to go with the food. The restaurant is steps from the main shopping strip.

Customer Review Summary

Tacos are the draw at this Bournemouth Mexican spot, with reviewers praising the lamb tacos and describing them as authentic, fresh and full of flavour. One reviewer ordered three and then three more after the first. The Cuban sandwich comes up close behind, called incredible and packed with taste. Also named are tostadas, enchiladas, quesadillas, birria, menudo and pozole. The homemade drinks, especially the horchata and the hibiscus iced tea, are described as sweet and refreshing. The owner and chef is a recurring theme, repeatedly called friendly and kind, chatting with diners and offering suggestions about the food while cooking it in front of them. Several reviewers mention travelling a long way to eat here, including one who made a three hour round trip and another who drives down whenever within an hour. Reviewers also mention fast cooking and fair prices, and no complaints appear in the reviews. One returning visitor says the quesadillas and tacos recalled student days in San Diego.

    “Authentic Mexican food steps away from the main shopping strip in Bournemouth. Owner was quick, kind, and food was top notch.”

    “I live all the way over in East Sussex, I travel for work and am slightly obsessed with Mexican cuisine. Truly, Francisco’s food no matter what you order is out of this world 5* delicious! I am yet to find anywhere else like CasaGourMex in the UK. Traditional flavours, fast cooking and fair prices. My absolute number 1 favourite place to eat ever. Whenever I’m within 1 hour distance from here I actually drive down JUST to get my usual Tacos, Toastada and Enchilladas with the homemade drinks. I’m praying to the stars that this place continues to stay open long into the future, don’t know where else I’d get my happiness from otherwise!”

    “5⭐ Review for Casa Gour Mex, Bournemouth Had an amazing meal at Casa Gour Mex in Bournemouth. The tacos were absolutely delicious — full of flavour, fresh, and really well made. I also had the Cuban sandwich, which was incredible and packed with taste. You can tell there’s real care put into the food. Great atmosphere, lovely service, and definitely somewhere I’d happily come back to. If you’re in Bournemouth and fancy proper tasty food, I’d highly recommend giving Casa Gour Mex a try.”
