Emma's Cantina Mexicana

There are many restaurants in Lanzarote serving what is called ‘Tex-Mex’ food, which originally was Mexican food made by Mexican-Americans adapted for the North American market. Emma’s Cantina Mexicana is the only Mexican restaurant in Lanzarote where traditional Mexican recipes are being used including, wherever possible, imported Mexican products, all cooked by Mexicans – thereby giving a very different taste and authenticity from any other restaurant on the island.

The experience is completed by a beautifully decorated restaurant reflecting the bright colours found in buildings all over Mexico and also features many items of Mexican art and artifacts brought back from frequent trips to Mexico. There is even a statue of the “Virgen of Guadalupe” carved by Argentinian sculptor Daniel Marquez, now a resident of Lanzarote.
