Royal Ris Restaurant - Margarita Bar & Mexican Restaurant

Set right on Larnaca's lively Finikoudes seafront on Athenon Avenue, Royal Ris - Margarita Bar & Mexican Restaurant is a family-owned spot serving Mexican and Mediterranean flavours with a beautiful view of the beach. It is best known for its frozen margaritas, made with locally sourced fruit and offered in flavours guests rave about, including strawberry, cherry and passion fruit. The kitchen turns out generous, satisfying plates such as quesadillas, fajitas and its signature Mexican and Cyprus platters, with the Mexican dishes flavourful rather than fiery to suit all palates.

Diners consistently praise the delicious, filling food, warm and attentive service, and the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Open only in the evenings and running late into the night (until 02:00, and 02:30 on weekends), it is a natural choice for a laid-back dinner, drinks with friends or a seaside night out. Vegetarians are looked after too, with dishes like a veggie quesadilla available on request.

With a 4.7 rating across more than 900 reviews, it is a firm Finikoudes favourite.
