Reviews for Under The Volcano in London, ON
I normally love Mexican restaurants and was looking very forward to this place. I read the reviews online and thought it would... be good. The food was a bit below average. The beans and rice was thrown out. Don?t let the nice photos I took fool you. Don?t get that steak burrito as it?s over cooked in the oven coming scorching hot. The chicken was dry and the pork was notseasoned well in the tacos. We had a puddle of water with the pork. The ground beef was the wait to go. The nachos are notgood, I?ve been to a lot of authentic places and this was far below average. The. Vegetarian taco trio is not tastyeither. The service was good. We were seated promptly and had someone always come over. They were polite and attentive. Weorder a beef quesadilla but got a chicken taco. We asked for a replacement and got a beef taco instead. We gave up at thatpoint as we needed to go. I think the biggest issue we had is the cleanliness. This place is nasty. I?ve done lots of reviewsand been to some dives that I loved but this place was just plain dirty. So much dust everywhere, ants and other bugs. I wouldsay that they need to spend a good week cleaning the place up. The decor make it even harder to clean even though it looks nicein the pictures. Sometimes there are places that just don?t sit well with you. I gave with three others and everyone said 2/5. I?ll leave you with this. If the dining area is not clean what does the kitchen look like? Read more
This is the best Mexican restaurant I have ever been to! It felt very authentic. And the vibe of the restaurant was phenomenal!... They put a lot of effort into making you feel like you're in a different world (with their elaborate interior decor). We had 2mains ? enchiladas and quesadillas. See photos. They both tasted amazing. The pricing is not cheap ? but it's fair. :) For 2people, you can expect a bill of $50 (after tax and 20% tip). The staff was nice. There was no wait time on Friday night (for 2people). Highly recommend. We're excited to try this place again. Read more
Great place for Mexican cuisine. Ambience is laid back and relaxed can have a great conversation without the overtone of loud... music. Staff is friendly and recommend good dishes based on your preferences. The food was on point. Taste/ flavour and thedoneness was 100% Will definitely return back for more. The chimichanga was very well fried, nothing burnt and all ingredientstasted fresh and delicious. The Jalapenos Rellenos is my personal favorite, the Jalapenos pack a good punch with spice andbalances out with the cheese, tomatoes, onions and other ingredients. This was shared between two and we were full. Read more
Highly recommended! One of the best places for Mexican cuisine. Staff members are friendly. The food is delicious ????.... Recommended dish - Chimichanga. The ambience is very decorative. Also, my review would not be complete if I don't add this. Thisplace has been winning best Mexican restaurant awards for 6-7 years. Great achievement, Team under the volcano. Read more
This place was an unexpected surprise. We wanted something Tex-mex but dine in, and we ended up here! Everything we tried packed... a punch of flavour. Highly recommend this place to anyone, any day of the week. We tried their Jalapeños Rellenos, Enchiladasand Chimichanga. All of these were fantastic, well balanced and paired well with Jarritos. Its a few bucks more expensive than aChipotle or Quesada, but more than makes up for it in both quality and quantity. Read more

This is the first and last time I will ever go to under the volcano i don?t even know where to start. I paid $50 for two... ?special? entrees that was dried out, inedible Mexican chicken Parmesan (Supposed to be pollo con queso) which is extremelydisappointing. The website made this dish sound delicious but we couldn?t even eat it the chicken was so dry. The ?tomato?topping was straight up marinara from a can with a little cheese and some weird tasting sour cream or cream cheese on top of thechicken. My friend received brown guacamole that was probably 1-2 days old. We called to discuss the quality of our food anddidnt receive an apology or resolution just excuses. This response shows a lot about this restaurant and because of that I willnot be going here again. Extremely disappointing and a huge waste of money for low quality food and service. Read more
Have gotten take out from here within the past year and was so good I decided to go with my girlfriends for a birthday... dinner. Was so disappointed with the service it ruined our night, we were constantly getting attitude from our server andtreated so poorly. Not sure if this was because we?re younger (early 20s) but this shouldn?t matter as paying customers. Foodwas good but mediocre, definitely would?ve been better if we were treated as respected customers. So disappointed and won?t bereturning or recommending unfortunately. Read more
