About Mexcellent

Mexcellent is a Mexican restaurant in Tunbridge Wells, at 22 Camden Rd, run by a Mexican owner-chef. Tacos arrive on wooden boards, with birria, prawn, pulled pork and steak options, so a table can mix fillings across one order. Spicy margaritas are the drink to pair with them. The dining room is small and has a bar, and the decor follows a Mexican style. A taco deal is also on offer. Online booking is not available, so reservations are made by phone.

    “Mexcellent: A Masterclass in Tunbridge Wells Mexican Cuisine After several visits to Mexcellent in Tunbridge Wells, I continue to be more impressed with each sitting. This isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a passion project led by Chef and Owner Daniel, whose execution of Mexican tapas is consistently excellent. The atmosphere is a rare find—warm, vibrant, and genuinely friendly. You are welcomed with a level of hospitality that makes you feel more like family than a patron. The Highlights: • The Food: Generous portions of authentic tapas that never compromise on quality. The tacos are a must-try, beautifully presented on wooden boards with vibrant toppings. • The Drinks: Their cocktail program is top-tier. I highly recommend the Spicy Margarita for a perfect kick, or the expertly balanced Cuba Libre. • Value: Remarkably reasonable pricing for the high standard of food and service provided. Verdict: Whether you are a local or just passing through, Mexcellent is a standout gem. Highly recommended. Nick. @doctorfoodielondon”

    “1st time and several failed attempts to book a table. Now I know why. Food Great, service excellent, atmosphere buzzy. Would suggest 2 not 3 tacos as very filling but couldn't resist trying the prawn beef and pork ones”

    “Amazing atmosphere, delicious food, decent price, we got our food very quickly, friendly staff. I would say the only complaint would be the restaurant was small and everything felt a bit cramped. Overall fantastic place, will go again.”

    “amazing food birria tacos were my personal favourite! however all i would say is very tight space, constantly felt like i would have to move around for the waitress, only recommended sitting at the bar if you’re getting drinks not food! but overall thank you so much for our experience.”

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often single out the tacos, with birria named repeatedly as a favourite, alongside prawn, pulled pork, steak and chicken guajillo varieties, plus chicken taquitos and nachos. One reviewer calls the tacos fresh and crispy, and another mentions a Taco Tuesday deal. Close behind are the spicy margaritas, described as wonderful, with a Cuba Libre also praised. Diners describe the atmosphere as buzzy and friendly, with servers who include what one takes to be the owner, and the kitchen's Mexican heritage gets a mention. The recurring complaint is space. The restaurant is small and cramped, one diner felt they had to move aside for the waitress, and that reviewer advises sitting at the bar only for drinks, not food. Several had trouble getting a table, with online booking unavailable, so one suggests phoning, and another failed to book several times before getting in. One reviewer suggests ordering two tacos rather than three because they are so filling. A birthday lunch ended with a free shot and free churros.
