    El Mexicano started as a small food kiosk ran by Fernando Gomez, from Mexico, and his wife, in Faraya.

    The kiosk expanded into a full restaurant in its initial location as the couple was serving traditional tacos, wraps, and tapas, and they went on finally opening in Gemmayzeh Street, Beirut.

    The decor is just as astonishing as the food that it makes you feel like you just walked into a Mexican fiesta.
