Desperado Mexican Restaurant and Bar is a popular chain with 5 branches in Switzerland. If you don't think of the food as "Mexican" , you will find that the food is quite good served in honest portions. It could be more appropriately called Swiss-Mex instead of Tex-Mex. I had shrimp tacos and my husband had beef fajitas. I would have enjoyed my tacos better if they chose to use soft tacos instead of the hard-shell ones and if they didn't omit to add a dash of coriander. The shrimps themselves were very good which saved the dish entirely. I even forgave the salad with cocktail sauce served with the tacos. My husband's fajitas looked very good actually. I guess if I had not eaten really good Mexican food in San Diego, I would have been happy with what I got at Desperado. As it is, well, I guess I really need to be desperate for Mexican food to eat again at Desperado.
