Cozy spot to eat Mexican food! Their chips and salsa were so good and the staff were friendly and welcoming. There’s free parking and on weekdays they have daily specials. However I wish they were open for lunch, our drinks didn’t taste as good (margarita was too salty and pina colada had a weird aftertaste) and we had to wait a while to get water.

We’ve liked going to UTV since back when it was in the house. Today I had Pollo Con Queso. It was great. Moist and flavorful chicken with rice, beans, cheese and salsa. I especially liked the beans, they had the perfect texture. The place is pretty cozy and don’t forget to get chips and salsa to go. They probably have the best chips and salsa around. Enjoy

I had a great experience dining here! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, and the service was friendly throughout. The food was flavorful and authentic everything tasted fresh and well-prepared.

But the highlight for me was the dessert their deep-fried ice cream! Crispy on the outside, cold and creamy on the inside, with just the right amount of sweetness. It was such a fun and delicious way to end the meal.

If you’re in the area and craving good Mexican food (and something unique for dessert), definitely give this place a try!

We started going to this restaurant in it’s original location on Colbourne street over 30 years ago. The fact that they have been around this long and have changed locations 3 times shows how good they are. I love their VERY spicy Cayenne Pepper Pot….it tastes the same as it did 30 years ago! Try it if you dare!

Their Tres Tacos (3 different big tacos) are amazing. They are not fancy small boutique tacos like Los Lobos (which is also excellent but boutique) as they are loaded with meat and an amazing value. Their refried beans and Mexican rice are also excellent.

Their salsa and chips are excellent, we always get big container of salsa and few bags of chips to take home.

They are very consistent, a great value and a London landmark. Keep the tradition of excellence going for many years please!

I don’t live in London but whenever I visit I go to Under the Volcano. If I did live in London, I’d go into serious debt..

I always get chimichangas whenever I can and this place does a great one. And the appetizer chips are amazing.

We recently went on Valentine’s Day and it was totally booked with reservations and walk ins but they were able to accommodate us after a short wait.

The atmosphere is unique here. It was busy and full…but somehow still quiet and organized.

This restaurant is actually amazing and don’t miss out if you’re deciding where to go. I’m looking forward to my next visit to London.

We were greeted seated and served by Madi.
This restaurant has the best customer service in London. The food was plentiful, flavourful and delectable delicious. The mango and peach daiquiris were delicious! Thanks Madi!!!
If you are looking for a great place to eat in London, this is a must visit.

Already thinking of when I can go back! Their service from the front door to leaving was amazing, friendly and funny staff! The food speaks for itself from the photos, very eye catching but just as delicious, you really cant go wrong with whatever you decide to go with! Their deep fried ice cream is a must try!

We had an amazing Valentine’s Day dinner at Under The Volcano, and everything from the food to the drinks and service was absolutely fantastic!

We started with two appetizers—the Flaming Shrimp, which were perfectly sautéed in garlic butter, flaked with tequila, and served with warm tortillas, and the Jalapeño Rellenos Skillet, which had just the right amount of heat and cheesy goodness. The flavors were incredible!

For our mains, we had the Paella del Campo, a delicious blend of chicken, shrimp, and chorizo infused with Mexican-inspired salsa verde, and the Volcano Fajitas, featuring tender chipotle steak sizzling on a bed of onions and peppers, served with tortillas, fajita sauce, sour cream, pico de gallo, rice, and cheese. The flavors were bold, and the portions were generous. We also loved the pineapple coleslaw, which added a refreshing twist to the meal.

We were treated to complimentary chips and salsa, but we couldn’t resist ordering queso and guacamole on the side—both were fresh and packed with flavor.

To end on a sweet note, we shared the Deep-Fried Ice Cream, which was absolutely heavenly! The crunchy coating, cinnamon, honey, and whipped cream made it the perfect indulgence.

The drinks were just as impressive—we had a Mexican Caesar (with tequila), a Piña Colada, and a Lime Margarita spiced up with jalapeño juice. Each one was well-balanced, flavorful, and paired perfectly with our meal.

The service was top-notch—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Under The Volcano is truly a hidden gem in London, and we’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors and a fun dining experience!

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 not seasoned well in the tacos. We had a puddle of water with the pork. The ground beef was the wait to go. The nachos are not good, I’ve been to a lot of authentic places and this was far below average. The. Vegetarian taco trio is not tasty either.

The service was good. We were seated promptly and had someone always come over. They were polite and attentive. We order a beef quesadilla but got a chicken taco. We asked for a replacement and got a beef taco instead. We gave up at that point as we needed to go.

I think the biggest issue we had is the cleanliness. This place is nasty. I’ve done lots of reviews and been to some dives that I loved but this place was just plain dirty. So much dust everywhere, ants and other bugs. I would say that they need to spend a good week cleaning the place up. The decor make it even harder to clean even though it looks nice in 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?
