Mexican Restaurants in Spain
When Guy Fieri took Triple D across the Atlantic to Spain, he discovered that Mexican cuisine has found a passionate home in this European nation. With one standout Mexican restaurant featured from the vibrant streets of Barcelona, the show highlighted how authentic flavors from south of the border have made their way to the Mediterranean coast.
Barcelona, Spain’s cosmopolitan culinary capital, proved to be the epicenter of this Mexican food adventure. The city’s diverse food scene has embraced the bold spices, fresh salsas, and traditional techniques that make Mexican cuisine so beloved worldwide. Guy’s 2017 visit showcased how Spanish chefs and Mexican expats alike are keeping these culinary traditions alive thousands of miles from their origin.
While the sample size may be small, this Barcelona gem represents the growing appreciation for Mexican flavors throughout Spain. From handmade tortillas to slow-cooked meats, these restaurants prove that great Mexican food knows no borders—and Guy Fieri was there to take us along for the ride.
