"If you’re in Rome and craving something other than pasta and pizza, El Tiburon Navona is an absolute gem! This Mexican restaurant completely exceeded my expectations — the food, service, and atmosphere were all outstanding. From the moment we walked in, the energy of this place felt warm and vibrant. The flavors were authentic, fresh, and bursting with personality — every dish tasted like it was made with care and passion. But what truly made the experience memorable were the people. Soleil and Anna took care of us, and I can’t say enough about how amazing they were. Friendly, attentive, and full of genuine warmth, they made us feel like old friends instead of just guests. Their smiles, enthusiasm, and impeccable service turned a great dinner into an unforgettable evening. It’s rare to find staff who love what they do and make you feel so welcome, but Soleil and Anna do it effortlessly. The atmosphere is relaxed but lively — the kind of place where you can unwind, enjoy a great meal, and soak in the fun energy of the Navona area. Whether you’re a local or a traveler, this spot is a refreshing change of pace and a must-visit for anyone who loves bold flavors and true hospitality. Five stars all the way. Thank you, Soleil and Anna, for making our night special — you’re the heart of this place!"

"After days of pasta and pizza in Rome, finding real Mexican food felt like a gift. This restaurant delivers true Mexican flavors. The tacos and sopes taste authentic and fresh, like you are eating in Mexico. The salsas stand out. Each one has depth, spice, and balance. You can taste the quality of the ingredients. They elevate every dish. The decoration is beautiful and detailed. The space feels warm and vibrant. It reflects Mexican culture without feeling forced. The service is excellent. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and professional. They make you feel at home from the moment you walk in. For being so far from Mexico, this place exceeds expectations. If you are in Rome and craving real Mexican food, this is the spot."

"On Friday night, there was full-booked. Unfortunately I couldn’t make a reservation before, but they gave us a big favor to be seated at the cocktail desk. We enjoyed a great food as well as bartender’s energetic and cheerful mood. It is a perfect place to try different tastes for the traveller are bored of Pizza and Pasta."

"This restaurant is a gem in the big bustling city of Italian food. While Italian food is delicious, sometimes you just need some good quality Mexican food. This is the place! The food is amazing … the staff is friendly … and, the atmosphere was bright and colorful (just like Mexico). Being from California, we know Mexican food … and this food is outstanding! From the margaritas, chips & salsa, birria tacos, to the chicken verde enchiladas … everything was delicious!"

"Fantastic experience at El Tiburon Navona. The food was excellent — easily the best Mexican food I’ve had in Italy. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and a great change of pace after days of pasta, pizza, and steak (as much as we love those!). We didn’t have a reservation and they were still able to get us seated on New Year’s Day, which we really appreciated. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the staff were friendly and accommodating. If you’re looking for something different in Rome and craving Mexican food done right, this is a great spot. Highly recommended."

"Wow! And absolutely incredible gem in the heart of Rome. The food was delicious and authentic Mexican. The margaritas are strong and tasty. Great salsa, fajitas, and queso fondido. Definitely would recommend this place!!!!"

"After 10 days across italy we needed a break from various versions of Italian food and this place popped up in our search for alternate cuisines. Reservations are tough, as you need to call in and there is no proper response des. However we lucked out as the phone was handed over to a person who understood English and were able to secure a reservation for Friday night. On arrival at 7.30 the place was already full and they needed a few minutes to get us a table. But what followed was wonderful. We tried their Nachos, four types of tacos, a fajita mains and a sopes and everything hit the spot. The favouring, the cooking, the textures, everything was excellent. On the drinks we liked their Michelada but not their Mexican old fashioned. The service can be slow and we were told that the next reservation for our table was at 9.30.. which I think was nor called for.. but hey giving them the benefit of doubt.. they were busy. The decor and ambience was lively and is more reminiscent of tex mex restaurants in the US. All in all a very fun place with flavourful food, that is truly a good break from the Italian fare you will find all around."
