#HighburyHearsYou – we at Cape Town Etc are passionate about getting local restaurants back and booming in business. As part of our #HighburyHearsYou initiative, we’re dishing out the deets on some incredible restaurants in and around town.

We love Mexican culture for many reasons, but most of all, the food. There’s no better way to celebrate life than with a mouthwatering, flavoursome and delicioso spicy Mexican meal. And of course, no sit-down is complete without a hearty shot of tequila or an icy mojito.

Luckily, Cape Town has no shortage of international food! We like to get down and fiesta at these fine establishments.

Tuesday = Taco Tuesdays, which means you get 15% off your entire bill (this excludes combos).

Wednesdays = Buy 2 portions of tacos and get your 3rd portion free

Thursdays = Burritos Thursdays which means you get 15% off all the burritos all day.

Fridays = Free fries Friday.  You get free fries with every smash burger ordered.

Another branch is based in Wynberg and is a satellite kitchen only, meaning they are only available for delivery via Mr D and UberEATS in the Wynberg and surrounding area.

You haven’t been to Cape Town if you haven’t been for a jol in this lekker hangout. Dig into the tastiest nachos you’ll eat while the cocktails keep coming. The chilli poppers are the real deal too. They have several branches, find them in Gardens, Mowbray or Woodstock. Warning: their home-brewed gingerbread tequilas are delicious but deadly.
