Mamacita

Luxembourg City


Feisty dishes like Baja spice–marinated pike tacos with beetroot slaw and avocado croquettes with smoked chipotle mayo are complemented by eight Mexican beers and over 60 different tequilas at this buzzing bar/restaurant. Book ahead for the first dinner sitting at 6.30pm; the later 9pm sitting generally has room for walk-ins.
