Synthesized Verdict

"Restaurants of the World: Mexico is one of the strongest GWP sets in recent memory, earning a BrickScore of 86 with all three expert sources rating it a must-have, and its exclusive Taquera minifigure and culturally rich design make it a standout addition to any collector's shelf."

The 40907 Restaurants of the World: Mexico GWP set earned unanimous praise from all three expert reviewers at Brickset, New Elementary, and Jay's Brick Blog, resulting in a BrickScore of 86 and a Highly Recommended verdict. All three called it a must-have GWP, consistently noting that it matches or exceeds the quality of the series predecessor (40906 Japan) with culturally authentic details, a colorful and joyful design, and an exclusive Taquera minifigure with a unique torso print. Owner data is limited (6 ratings, avg 4.86) but fully consistent with the expert verdict. The sole recurring concern is the high spend threshold required to obtain it.

CRITICIZED (6)

01High spend threshold to obtain the GWP (US$180 / £160 / EUR180) is a significant barrier
02Minor brown printing mismatch between the minifigure torso and legs noted by Brickset
03Oversized taco sign is considered slightly too large in scale, echoing a similar complaint about the Japan set's oversized nigiri sign
04No new mould pieces or recolored parts
05Base plate differs in color from the Japan set, which reviewers would prefer to be consistent for series cohesion
06Roof color similarity between adjacent sections can make the instructions harder to follow during the build

Brickset Reviews

"40907 Restaurants of the World: Mexico is another very strong entry, and a celebration of Mexican food and restaurant architecture"

Jay's Brick Blog

"Once again, I adore it – it feels like a rich building experience for a small model, although at 329 pieces the piece count is slightly higher than the usual GwP."

Ecosystem

40906 Restaurants of the World: Japan — On a par with the Japanese restaurant and a must-have GWP; set a high bar that this Mexico set matches

41701 — Mentioned in comments as reminiscent of this set by community member

Landscape diorama GWPs — Sets based on buildings are more effective than landscape diorama ones; building-based sets are cleaner than messy dioramas

40906 Restaurants of the World: Japan — Both are strong entries in the series with unique styles and designs; both look wonderful when displayed together, though best with space between them due to roof alignment differences. Japan set was described as excellent, Mexico set follows on as another very strong entry.
