The 5 best Mexican restaurants in Shenzhen

Shenzhen's Mexican scene is small but it punches above its weight: a handful of kitchens run by people who actually care about tortillas, salsa and a properly shaken margarita. We ranked the five we'd send a friend to.

Every entry has what to order, the specials worth planning around, opening hours and the address in Chinese — tap Show address to taxi driver and hold your phone up.
