Authenic TexMex cuisine in large portions are the defining characteristic of this friendly restaurant. Buckin Mex presents the colourful side of Mexico with gorgeous uniforms, brightly painted interior and lots of Mexican decor within - the best place to enjoy the food though is the expansive outdoor balcony overlooking the busy streetscape below.
