“ We had such a lovely time. Our host prepared a special assortment - a tasting menu special for us, complete with aperitif! We enjoyed so much and the food was excellent! Thank you for making our experience so special!!! ”
“ Mexcian with Basque vusion restaurant. Food is nice, not outstanding but really nice. Menu is in Basque and Spanish only and you have to QR code it from your phone, no paper menu available . It was recommended by the UK Conde Nast magazine. ”
“ What a unique experience! Possibly the only Mexican-Basque-Fusion restaurant with a Fine-Dining approach in the world I had multiple starters, two main courses, dessert -- and it was absolutely lovely! The kind and polite service is also to note. I recommend the kokotxa, hake taco, beef main course The margeritas are a MUST ! Cheers! ”
“ We arrived at Gatxupa without a reservation but they kindly accommodated us. Food was delicious, service was very good. Lovely Mexican food (especially the ceviche of the day) The restaurant is stylish with a great vibe. ”
“ Honestly the food and the atmosphere was really great. I would have given it 5-star if it wasn’t for the price that feels way overpriced for what it was. We had 1 ceviche which tasted fantastic, and one beef taco, one drink each (2 wine, and 1 cocktail) it summed up to 60 euros. ”
“ We popped in after a nearby festival and were nicely surprised. The host is such a lovely lady with excellent English. She recommended delicious dishes for us and our two girls 7 & 9. They had fun board games too which is always a winner. We bumped into each other the following day and had a nice chat. She also very kindly gave my girls beautiful organic carrots from her own groceries. So nice to meet you & I’m sorry I didn’t catch your name X ”
“ Hidden gem you may miss among traditional s Sebastian pintxo, but I highly recommend to give a try to this lovely spot with amazing food to die for! We went for a romantic lunch Mexican inspired, and we were not disappointed, the chef is a literal (and awarded) artist, add this in your foodie route!! ”
