One of the most popular Mexican restaurants in Barcelona is El Último Agave, where you will feel like you’ve been transported straight to Mexico when you are greeted by bright colors and exotic smells. Taste some typical dishes like enchiladas, fajitas, and burritos washed down with a delicious margarita or imported beer. For a great deal, head on over during the week for lunch and pay only €9.50 for the menú del día which includes two courses, dessert, and a drink. Another great restaurant is Rosa del Raval which is known for their margaritas, mojitos, and other cocktails for as little as €3.90. Pair your drink with a classic Mexican dish off the menu and you’re in for a special treat!
