  • Party of 10, food arrived at different times - not a single person enjoyed the meal. The service was terrible, staff even worse. Despite not being the loudest group in the place, we was asked to keep the noise down (I guess you are not allowed to talk to a person across from you) When a female member of the group spoke to the mananger at the end of a very expensive and overpriced night, to apologise for any noise, she was pushed and told to get out. How is this place still open?

  • I dont know what TimeOut is talking about, i went a couple of days ago, and the place was PACKED! i order a couple of starters and they were SO GOOD! i had the empanadas & guacomole and they were really good, the staff was so kind & always lookin after us, we asked for recommendations and the staff knew what they were talking about, I highly recommend this place for a night out, its cool and trendy

  • Bland, indigestible food - hugely overpriced, service mediocre. Like somewhere you'd expect in Guildford, not central London. Very, very poor. (And no - I am not part of some 'conspiracy' to do this restaurant down for ulterior motives. It is bad overpriced food. Why oh why did Green and Red have to close down - that was good Mexican food.

  • what a piece of rubbish. the restaurant in itself looks nice but the food and the service make you feel like being in the faulty towers. tiny portions, high prices, inconsistent quality and the slow delivery... waiting for 10+ minutes for a mains (after one had been delivered)... really? boho mexica needs to get their act together. it might be good if you are going for drinks only, or to be trendy with a "don't care" attitude... I can only recommend that if you are considering boho mexica for dinner then get an ecg... insane in the brain...

  • very disappointing. I have never been served by such a rude waitress, the final straw was when a hair was found in the food, she looked at it shrugged her shoulders and walked off. Then had the audacity to bring a bill over with service included. we requested a bill without and informed her why she would not be receiving a tip. The food was bland and some meals were not what we ordered.. when we asked if they did nachos the response was, nachos come from Texas this is a mexican! was really looking forward to a great night out with friends but this restaurant managed to put a massive dampener on the eve, will not be going there again.

  • Just can't understand the strange (and strangely similar) negative reviews of this wonderful, friendly, good-value restaurant which puts a different spin on Mexican food from the usual tired Tex-Mex cliche dishes. Is someone prosecuting a vendetta, I wonder? We've been three times and always found the food original, delicious and reasonably-priced - and the staff warm, efficient and helpful. Diverse, surprising and carefully prepared dishes and delightful cocktails – what's the problem? Perhaps Time Out needs to institute a little "agree/disagree" box so we the punters can give our own verdict on perverse reader reviews like these. Mind you, each time we've been the place has been packed out, so it doesn't seem like the moaners are having much effect on Boho Mexica's business. Good thing too. It's a restaurant with character and an asset to the area, and we'll be going back again for sure.

  • Is Time Out for real?! I tend to listen to their reviews but God did they get it wrong this time. Which place are they talking about?! This place is great, i think you guys were looking for a burrito place, or TEX MEX with cheddar cheese and tin salsa everywhere loaded with salt and stuff – the flavours at this little place are what they should be, my mom is Mexican and even she says this is just like back in Mexico. I have been going to boho mexica place for a couple of years and if anything the food is just getting better, LOVE THIS RESTAURANT, go and check it out for yourself, don’t listen to negative people – they could do with a bit of a re-fit of the toilettes but that would be my only suggestion to the owners

  • Went there just for drinks with all my girlfriends and ended up getting a little of everything from the food menu, the drinks are so good they have alot of variety and the flavours are just so original i recommend the Chile In Pink it was to die for, the food its great we had a bunch of the starters just to munch on and they were really yummy, the place has a nice vibe to it and the staff is friendly, what else could you ask for?

  • This place looked nice, great ambience, comfortable surroundings. The food however, was very Bland, and i mean bland! It was also very expensive for the amount of food on the plates. I had the braised pork, which was not braised at all, It was in fact very dry and hard. the fish ceviche was around £9 3 very small tacos, covered with salad and a small amount of fish underneath. I would not go back to this place there are better mexican restaurants out there oh and the charged extra for chilli sauce!

  • Excellent food, this is genuinely the taste of Mexico! The tacos are great, the meats are soft and full of flavour. Good fun and a social night out. The pork dish is very tasty too. Service has always been great.
