Local tips
- Portions are large, especially the bigger steaks and fajita platters, so consider sharing starters or skipping dessert if you are not very hungry.
- Reserve a table for Friday and Saturday evenings, as the central Algade location attracts many groups and celebrations at peak times.
- If you prefer your steak cooked a specific way, clearly state your desired doneness and ask staff to recommend a cut and size that matches it.
- Budget a bit extra for drinks, as Danish restaurant beverage prices are generally higher than the food alone might suggest.
- Arrive a little before your booking if you want to choose between tables closer to the windows on Algade or deeper inside the dining room.

Discover more about Det Mexicanske Bøfhus
Steakhouse Spirit in the Heart of Algade
Det Mexicanske Bøfhus sits on Algade, Roskilde’s main shopping street, and feels instantly like a refuge from the Nordic light outside. Step in and you enter a low‑lit dining room built around one idea: generous portions of grilled meat with a Mexican twist. The concept combines a classic steakhouse with Tex‑Mex comfort food, so you are never far from the smell of searing beef or a skillet arriving at the table still crackling. Tables are set close enough to give the room a sociable buzz, with simple wooden furniture, colored accents and a bar stocked with beers, soft drinks and the occasional cocktail. It is the kind of place where birthdays, family dinners and casual celebrations feel very at home.From Heavyweight Steaks to Tex‑Mex Favorites
The menu centers on substantial cuts of beef, including ribeye and tenderloin in multiple sizes for serious appetites. Some of the largest options reach several hundred grams and come with classic steakhouse garnishes, such as crispy bacon, garlic or herb butter and rich sauces. There is usually a choice of potatoes and sides, allowing you to tailor your plate from fries to baked options and salad. Alongside the steaks you will find a full spread of Tex‑Mex staples. Expect sharing plates of nachos baked with cheese and served with guacamole, salsa and sour cream, as well as fajitas that arrive on hot cast‑iron pans with the aroma of grilled peppers and onions. Tacos, enchiladas and mixed platters make it easy for groups to sample several dishes at once.Portions, Price Level and Dining Rhythm
Det Mexicanske Bøfhus positions itself firmly in the mid‑range: not a fine‑dining steakhouse, but considerably more substantial than a fast‑food taco joint. Menu prices reflect the weight of meat on the plate, with smaller items like simple tacos at the low end and the biggest steak combinations significantly higher, especially on premium cuts. Soft drinks and other beverages sit around standard Danish restaurant pricing. The restaurant typically opens from late afternoon into the evening on weekdays, with longer hours on Fridays and Saturdays and added brunch or lunch windows at weekends. Service follows an unhurried, sit‑down rhythm: you are seated, order drinks and then choose from the menu at the table, with staff returning to check in during the meal. It is well suited to slow dinners where you settle in for several courses.Atmosphere and Who It Suits Best
The ambience leans warm and lively rather than intimate. Background music, the clatter of plates and the occasional sizzle from the kitchen create an informal tone that works well for groups of friends, families with older children and couples who prefer a relaxed, unfussy night out. The décor mixes rustic touches with colorful details, echoing the Mexican theme without becoming theatrical. Meat‑lovers will feel most at home here, particularly anyone keen on large steaks and hearty platters. Vegetarian choices are more limited but usually present in the form of sides and selected mains. The central location on Algade means you can easily combine a meal with shopping or a stroll through Roskilde’s historic core before or after you eat.Practical Details for a Smooth Visit
Because portions are substantial, many diners opt for a shared starter followed by individual mains rather than full three‑course meals. Booking ahead is wise on Friday and Saturday evenings, when tables fill quickly with celebrations and larger parties. The restaurant’s street‑level entrance and open interior offer straightforward access, though the space can feel compact at peak times. Tap water, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages are available, with staff able to explain steak sizes and cooking temperatures if you are unsure what to order. With its combination of central location, sizable servings and straightforward flavors, Det Mexicanske Bøfhus functions as a dependable choice when you want a filling, meat‑centric meal in Roskilde without formality.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
