Now it's time for Mexican! Who's ready?
Motel Mexicola is a mexican restaurant which is located in Seminyak, Bali.
What makes this restaurant so catchy in my eyes? Besides their unique name and decorations, the food is good as well!
I ordered everything here because I want to try it all and the best thing is they are offering a good and delicious plus fantastic kind of food with an affordable price.
The moment I stepped foot into Motel Mexicola I feel like I had walked onto the set of a Quentin Tarantino film. That feeling is amazing, trust me.
Decked out with melted candles, crucifixes, cacti and coloured tiled table tops you’d almost think you were in Mexico. Whilst the props certainly added to the atmosphere I was curious about the food naturally. The menu is wide and offers the usual Mexican fare, however I have to say I was impressed by the food on offer.
To start off, the frozen Margaritas were delicious and hit the holiday “g spot” perfectly. The “tostaditas” that followed were basically little portions of fried tortillas topped with raw tuna and mayo or slow cooked pork. These were devoured in seconds!
Going into Motel Mexicola, you’ll be greeted with a shrine, a very cool one that is. Somehow, the owner had some crazy idea to put on some pictures of random people and melt big colorful candles on the walls.
The result is a place where everybody will take a picture of. It’s so cool. I want to know about the people on the shrine, so I asked them, who the hell is the funky looking dude? According to the staff, each owners always gave different explanations.
My favourite one is:
“He is a friend of (the owner’s) grandfather, who is a mafia.” Now that’s badass!
From now on I am going to show you how's Motel Mexicola looks like. Real quick!
I know the Seminyak area is crowded with an abundance of restaurants but if you’re looking for something a little different I can highly recommend Motel Mexicola.
The service is slick, fast and attentive. Kids are welcome and they make some of the best Margaritas on this side of the equator.
