Shhhhh El Silencio doesn't exist - we don't have a website or phone number but you can message us on instagram: @el_silencio_fff
Our address is; Find the SECRET DOOR [inside] Pablo Picante Burrito Bar, 4 Clarendon Market, Dublin 2 xx

At El Silencio we specialise in Tacos & Margaritas with a dive-bar ambience. The music is loud and the drinks are strong ¡Andale!

Our tacos use gf corn tortillas from Balam - a Mexican food business set up by Eduardo and his team in Dublin. We have an excellent array of plant-based options too including the Vegan Prison Tray.

Our margaritas (11 different combinations and counting) use only the best 100% agave tequila and mezcal.

We don't mess around with wine/whiskey/vodka/dessert/coffee - just margaritas & tacos cabrones!

Incredible margaritas and amazing food! The portions are perfectly balanced—not too much, not too little—so you can enjoy your meal without feeling overwhelmed. Plus, it’s the ideal setup to savor their drinks while making the most of your 2-hour reservation. Highly recommend!

Excellent quality food at a great price and the margaritas were amazing, too, and worth the price - the same as what you pay for an inferior version elsewhere. Staff were lovely, too and had a great chat with the barman.

Used to be a good spot but food was terrible this time, as was service. Had to ask three times for a drink even though there were only a handful of customers in the restaurant.
