Motel Mexicola is throwing a full-venue, full-throttle celebration at both Seminyak and Canggu locations for Mexican Independence Day.
Traditionally, on the evening of September 15, Mexico enters into a highly symbolic and festive prelude to Independence Day. ‘Día de La Independencia’ is celebrated in Mexico where streets explode with mariachi, flags wave from rooftops, fireworks fill the air, tacos line the sidewalks, and tequila is raised to the sky. At around 11pm, the ringing of the historic bell is the moment that marks the true beginning of Independence Day. It’s not just a date on the calendar; it’s a living, breathing celebration of resilience, culture, and joy. Raw. Loud. Unapologetic.
For us, it’s not only about history, it’s about owning our story, embracing every flaw and every flair. That’s why Motel Mexicola goes big: colour, rebellion, connection, food, music, and glorious chaos.
This year’s Independence Day menu is our culinary love letter to the Gulf of Mexico, the cradle of spice, smoke, and soul. From Yucatán heat to Veracruz, each dish carries generations of recipes, stories of resistance, and the spirit of celebration. This isn’t just food. It’s a cultural memory, grilled and served hot.
We’re serving ‘Gulf of Mexico’ cuisine, not because we changed, but because borders did. This is our culinary middle finger to walls, bans, and nationalism. This menu is for the people. It’s for history. It’s for flavour that migrates, transforms, and refuses to be colonised.
Dinner kicks off the celebration, and that’s not all… La Lotería will be played during dinner from 7-8PM! Get ready for a lively round of Mexico’s beloved game of chance. It’s like ‘bingo’, but way more fun, and with a cultural twist. Listen closely, mark your cards, and get ready for the chaos, with grand prizes to be WON!
Oh, and there will be 50K margaritas and micheladas from 5-8pm – so join us for the festivities early!
