Motel Mexicola doesn’t whisper, it shouts - and that’s exactly the point. This Seminyak institution is part restaurant, part fiesta and all heart. It’s loud, vibrant, chaotic in the best way, and never not fun.
The vibe Imagine a 1960s Acapulco daydream, filtered through a disco ball. There’s kitschy décor, neon lights, religious iconography and more than a few people dancing on tables. Come ready to get swept up in it all.
The food The tacos are legendary, especially the pork al pastor and beer-battered fish. But there’s more to the menu than bar bites: enchiladas, chargrilled corn, sizzling prawns and empanadas all hit the spot, and everything is made with real flavour and flair.
The drinks Margaritas, micheladas, mezcal shots and slushie cocktails - this place takes its drinks just as seriously as its vibe. Happy hour gets wild, and the tequila list is as deep as the bass line.
