777

I am giving it a 4 Bc the manager was bit rude, unwelcoming and making us even switch seats when it was empty. I wouldn’t call this place a dive bar as it is listed on Unilocal.The bartender was super friendly the food is Mexican with their twist to it. It’s fun different Mexican food with fresh ingredients. The margaritas were delicious. It was getting packed when we left at 7:30, and took a little long to get our check. The music was great, if you don’t like loud music you should avoid this place.

777 — finally got a taste of the ongoing hype. Yes, it’s a jewel box of colors when you walk in and the eats are delicious. But the price tag is hefty my friends. Nine euro for chips and guacamole is up there even if the guac is amazing (and I make my own so that says a lot!)
It’s a gourmet take on Mexican eats and they do it well. I’d say the only item I’d not revisit are the fried plantains which arrived smothered in cheese and sour cream — come on 777 you can do better than that!
The margies were wonderful — yet smallish for 12 euro a gulp! They encourage you to order three small plates each but you can get away with two each, including chips, unless you’re mighty hungry.
I’d return on one of their promoted discount days (777 Sundays /​Margarita Mondays /​Taco Tuesdays) or if I’m not famished. We walked out spending over 100 euro on four small plates, chips/​guac, and two margaritas. Like I said, that’s up there for Mexican food, even here; I was in 777^th Heaven until we got the bill…
It was a great night nonetheless — plus it was Cinco de Mayo even if the staff was clueless about the American/​Mexican ‘Holiday’ … but, hey, we’re not in America, nor are we in Mexico compadres, so let’s take what we can get! I’ll take it 777!

Great family style meal — we loved everything including the bread pudding for dessert. It was fun to find good Mexican food in Dublin. The music issued at a very loud volume hear, so just be warned — but it’s fun and adds to the vibe.

What a disappointment !; (
Bife: blackened steak, cheese crisp, scallion, salsa negra
The beef had a terrible taste. Really couldn’t eat it. (Honestly, we were scared to be sick the next day)
Amarillo: yellowfin tuna ceviche, garlic crisps was terrible .a joke !
We also had: Tinga: slow stewed chicken, fire roasted tomatoes, avocado, refried black beans, crema. It was good but the portions are really small (OR they should be charged way less)
Ha yeah. You have to go through the kitchen to access the bathroom… weird…
Yep, I really don’t like it. they are better Mexican restaurants and cocktail Bars in Dublin city…
Adiós Amigos !

Whatever you do… DON’T TOUCH THE CANDELABRA! Man this place gave me so much life! Awesome awesome awesome Mexican food cooked with a good mix of traditionalism and Irish comfort. The margaritas were 2 for € 12 so that was a steal. And my boyfriend and I got the shared Carne Assada meal which had been put on special for € 50. Not a cheap meal but by no means the most expensive meal! You can find other deals as well. I believe everything on the menu goes down to € 7.77 on Sunday’s. Only downer… the music might’ve been a bit too loud for my liking. Otherwise, go hungry, leave tipsy, stay swaggy

I felt awkward when the waiter sort of corrected me when I asked for «taquitos» I’m Mexican, I think I have an idea on how to pronounce it: P …Anyway…tasty food, good promos on Mondays and Tuesdays. **Mezcales are a must… and do not forget the Micheladas!**

Gosh darn it 777, stop being so cool. I have no photos of food (yet) because I actually few too uncool to whip out my camera in this place and take pictures of it. The loud great music, the incredibly cool interior and amazing Mexican food elevate this place above to that special rank of 5 stars in Dublin. You’ve had Mexican food but not like this; special mention for the Sunday’s where all dishes & some cocktails are € 7.77. Experience this place ASAP.

We got here for Taco Tuesday unintentionally: 2 tacos for 4Euro. We were really just looking to get a nice cocktail but the offer was too good to pass up.
The tacos were absolutely fab! Fesh and super tasty. Cocktails were nice and strong. Service was friendly and attentive yet somehow I can’t quite give 4 stars. The reason for that is the noise level. The music, although good, was way too loud and therefore conversation wasn’t really on the cards. We left after one drink. Pity!

If you’re ever looking for somewhere to eat (and get a little bit tipsy) on a Monday in Dublin, this is the place! € 45 steak to share and 2 for € 12 Margheritas is a really good deal and oh so delicious!
The staff are very attentive and they really know their stuff when it comes to recommending dishes.
Overall, a really cool place and I definitely will be back.

Amazing spot for great food. The cocktails are yum and the food tapas style is Delish. Worth a visit if you can get a table as its busy and first come first serve

Small, cozy beautiful restaurant with excellent tapas style dishes and amazing margaritas. Great customer service.

When a work colleague visiting from the UK asked me where I’d recommend for Mexican in Dublin 777 instantly sprang to mind. I’d been twice before for their great tapas-​style Sunday menu (where everything is € 7.77) but last night was my first time trying their dinner.
The place fills up basically every night so we took two seats at the bar. We decided to get a selection of small plates, 5 in total between two of us with 2 sides. When asked if our order size was okay the waiter used the word «substantial» — he wasn’t wrong! The food arrived very quickly and highlights included the amazing guacamole accompanying our tortilla chips as well as the chicken tostados which we were both tempted by and went down very well.
If you order one thing make sure to get a side of elotes, which are corn on the cob cooked in spices and cheese. Sounds simple but they are delicious. Also have to give a mention to the great margaritas. Overall a lovely meal and good value as we benefited from the Tuesday special offer of plates of 2 tacos for € 4!

Pros:
— the chorizo tacos are pretty bomb
— the thing to get here is the pigs head which sounds unappealing but is actually delicious and filling
— the margaritas are pricey but strong and flavorful
Cons:
— who the hell calls street tacos «tacquitos»?
— who the hell puts those seeds in guacamole?
— give us actual chips not the broken crumbs
I will say overall the pros vastly outweigh the cons; you just have to know what to get.

The place has a nice vibe to it, thanks to the original decoration.
We went there for a deal on margaritas — I think it was Margaritas Monday; something like two for 12 euros. The drinks were good, and the price ok; but I guess outside of the deal, it is not that cheap.
I am taking two stars off for the service. I got yelled at by the bartender because he tripped on my handbag. I just put it next to my chair, not in the way. I was disappointed by this issue.

By far the best Mexican food U have ever had in Dublin. In fact this place has good Mexican food even by Californian standards. Seriously good food and if you go on Sundays it’s even for a good price.
I will say it’s really damn loud but other than that, the atmosphere is fantastic.
I know where I’ll be eating on my Sunday nights from now on!

I’ve been wanting to come here for ages but it’s always busy! So we caught a break at 6pm on a Thursday.
The house margaritas are so nice, I’d definitely recommend.
We had ‘totopos’: tortilla chips and a to-​die-​for guacamole. We both loved the ‘bife’ taquitos (sirloin steak) and chorizo taquitos (it is a spicy housemade chorizo). We also got the ‘tinga’ tostadas, were ok but little tricky to eat, I would always choose the taquitos over them next time. The ‘papas fritas’ (fried potatos) were ok but I’ve had better, they just didn’t taste freshly done.
Overall, I would definitely come back, but it’s pricey so I’ll be coming back on a € 7.77 sunday!!!:)

Coming from California with an appreciation for Mexican food, I was intrigued by this place. The artistic pieces painted on the white tile walls were amazing. But speaking to the food:
‘Mexican fusion’ is how I’d best describe it – pork sliders, and Cuban black beans and rice as a side don’t fit into any Mexican restaurant in familiar with. The nachos were also good, but like most European attempts at nachos lack the good cheese. Nothing we ate had much of a kick. The use of lime seemed heavy, and while everything tasted fresh, there was a missing component I couldn’t nail down.

WARNING: The margaritas are VERY strong!
I had a wonderful meal here last night! It was my first visit, but defiantly won’t be my last!
The atmosphere is verrrry chill and laid back, which is nice! The staff are awesome and the interior is pretty sweet too! The music is way too loud though, but If you can get over that, everything else is on point!
Instead of getting a main, I went for a couple of starters, so it ended up like Mexican tapas. Can I remember the names of the dishes I had? Hell no. The menu is kind of complicated, but they mainly consisted of chargrilled beef, mini tacos and I’m pretty sure there was some raw tuna steak thrown into the mix as well! Oh, and nachos with home made guacamole. Seriously impressive guac!
As for the drinks, if you enjoy a cheeky cocktail as much as I do, then this spot is a must. The frozen margaritas (2 for 12 on Mondays) are to DIE FOR! Very strong, but to die for!
Highly recommend If your looking for something a little bit different!

I ate a pig snout and I liked it.
This is one that’s been on the list for AGES, but mediocre reviews from a few people had put me off. Now that I’ve been, I can see no room for mediocracy in a review for 777. They were top drawer all the way as far as I’m concerned.
— Staff were attentive, friendly and the right side of casual
— The food was really, really excellent. The ceviche was the star of the show, as were the bife taquitos. The pig’s head is definitely a novelty. It was nice, and certainly fun, though a bit too fatty for me. The sauces that accompanied it were lovely, and the tortillas were plentiful. (Eat the snout, trust me! Just remember that it’s not for the faint hearted!!)
— The décor is really funky, and I love being able to eat at a nice bar area (though this wouldn’t suit everyone)
Why not five stars? A few minor gripes like the menu being a bit over-​complicated, and the bar stools being stuck to the ground, so if you’re seated in front of the door, there’s not much you can do to be moved from the draft. But they are really really minor issues and hardly worth mentioning, considering the stellar standard of the rest.

Ein relativ kleines Restaurant mit ca. 5 Tischen und einer Bar. Wenn man sich hier in Ruhe unterhalten will, sollte man lieber woanders hingehen– die Musik ist schon sehr laut, so dass man nach einem Abendessen schon ein bißchen fertig ist, weil man die ganze Zeit mit einer gehobenen Stimme sprechen muss. Die Guacamole war viel zu zitronig, schade, ansonsten das Essen durchaus gut. Die Speisekarte ist übersichtlich und kurz gehalten, was ich immer gut finde! Als Nachtisch haben wir da Eiscreme Sundae genommen– eine riesige Portion und daher super zum Teilen geeignet.

I’ve been threatening to go to 777 for a long time and I finally went on one of their 777 Sundays. The deal on a Sunday is that there’s a special menu with tapas for € 7.77 each. It’s like a taster for the full menu and it’s a great way to get people in! We spotted their tweet about it and decided to head over!
So the outside is extremely drab, but it’s all an illusion and it really works. You do not expect this little oasis to be inside. The interior reminds me of being in sunnier climates, but remaining intimate.
We sat up at the bar and had a look at the menu. Nothing is marked. 90% of their menu is gluten free or can be adapted — I checked several times with lots of people and the 777 twitter account, but the waitress had to check with the kitchen what was what.
This is a huge pet hate of mine. Please mark the menus. PLEASE! Otherwise, you end up like me and avoid some places because there are no markings, and, when you venture in, have the staff have to go to the kitchen to check. It’s not a confidence booster at all. In fact, it would turn the majority of coeliacs off the establishment straight away.
On another pet peeve note, the waitress did actually confirm with my other half that I was a «real» coeliac when I was in the bathroom. I was a bit peeved when I heard, but I understand they get a lot of fad dieters in.
Anyway, the waitress came back and listed everything we could have. We had to read the descriptions as she did so and, honestly, she did it so fast that neither of us could remember the first dish (again, this always happens when you don’t mark the damn menu!), and decided to order anything gluten free, which was six tapas. She looked at us like we were a bit crazy, and suggested to choose four… so she listed them again to us and we chose four and the cocktail that was on special. (Again marking the menus would make it clearer!)
The food arrived pretty quick. It was freaking awesome! We had taco campeon, el gringo, huevos rancheros, and chilli con carne. We had to ask for more of the corn chips for the chilli because they got all mushed in the bottom of the bowl. The 777 Sunday menu changes every Sunday so the pictures above may not be available on a particular Sunday, but it was all scrumptious. I would most definitely be trying more the next time! We devoured the food on the plate. It was all so flavour packed and delicious. We were seriously hungry monkeys!
I was so so stuffed leaving. I even had a food baby that I was thinking of naming with the 777 Twitter account! (They’re also on Facebook.) I will definitely be back for more!
Small observation: You have to go through the kitchen when you go to the bathroom, and you can hear all the conversations that the staff are having. Two in particular were quite disgruntled about being there! It didn’t affect the food though so it’s all good!
Also, ladies and gents they have somewhere to hang your bag/​coat/​hat while you eat up at the bar! Little hooks are the best thing ever to keep everything within reach. including the camera for awesome food photos!
I’m giving it 3 stars out of five, just because of the logistics and my peeves about the menu markings. Took forever to order because of it. The food was awesome.
