Real Mexican Cooking, On the Island
Plenty of places in Ibiza claim Mexican food. We cook it the way it's meant to be cooked: 8 varieties of dried chili imported straight from Mexico — pasilla, ancho, mulato, guajillo, morita, chipotle, chile de árbol, habanero — used to build every salsa by hand. The tortillas are pressed to order from nixtamalised corn, and the entire kitchen is 100% gluten-free — celiac-safe, no shared fryers, no shared surfaces. The menu rotates every two weeks with what's at the market.
Chef Mario Gracia brings 15 years of Mexican and Latin American cooking, with a stint in the kitchen of Álvaro Clavijo (El Chato, #1 Latin America's 50 Best). In Sant Josep he's found the format he wanted: small, free, with a terrace and a lot of fire.

What Guests Say About the Mexican Side
Came with clients who usually go to other Mexican restaurants in Ibiza and completely blown their minds. The decoration and ambiance are stunning, fabulous cocktails, and the cactus terrace has a special magic. The only place to go in San Josep.
