The extremely helpful waiter allowed myself and a friend to sit on a table set for four! The waiter was impeccable throughout, promptly taking our order and ensuring everything was ok! The food was excellent, one of the best burritos I have ever had. Although the portion was huge it was so tasty that I could not stop eating. Today I went for a chilli beef burrito (medium). The burritos come with a healthy serving of salad and a few nachos! The whole set up is great - seats around 30 people and service is fast enough for you to grab some great food on your lunch break!

Incredible food here. Acapulco is the best place for Mexican food, hands down! Been here twice. The…read morestaff are amazingly helpful; the place is really warm and friendly; the food is tremendous! I got a 'Chimichanga', which is basically a fried burrito. It probably was the best burrito I have ever had. I got shredded annatto pork in mine, with the hot sauce (which isn't really hot, it's just the right kind of hot). Pure beaut! If you are in the mood for a burrito, check out these guys. Don't just take my word for it, they won the title of 'Best burrito in Belfast' in the mouthing-off series of events that Yelp held.

Magnificent moments are made of this = Margaritas, Mexican food, great service, magical atmosphere and a chilled vibe. We indulged in a menu of authentic, delicious food. I've been to Mexico twice and can vouch for the fact that La Taqueria really do sell fresh, truly authentic Mexican fare. I loved the guacamole with tortilla chip starter, oyster mushrooms with green chilli quesadilla main and side of crispy potato cubes, sour cream and herbs. Cocktails were fantastic, nothing like I've ever tasted before. Pure, unique flavour combinations which worked together superbly. The wine list boasts Spanish, Chilean and Argentinian wines and the Spanish wine was luscious. La Taqueria is a wonderful addition to the Belfast restaurant scene and offers great Mexican flavours which cannot be found elsewhere in Northern Ireland. It's super to see clearly marked vegetarian dishes on the menu and some vegan options too. Everyone in my party loved La Taqueria and I've already booked a return visit.

This is truly…read moredelectable Mexican food, and more vegan options have recently appeared, which mean greater variety for 'us lot' - hurrah! Seitan tacos with vegan cheese (so good, they are heavenly) have lately appeared as a special. In addition menu staples such as oyster mushroom, prickly pear cactus and fire-roasted pepper tacos and quesadillas, along with a wickedly delicious guacamole starter are the main vegetarian/ vegan fixtures. Cocktails are exquisite and the frozen margarita is quite possibly one of the best drinks on earth. Interior is relaxed, if a bit small/ cramped and I love the Mexican themed wall art and murals. My only criticism is that it's an inconvenience to have to go to the counter to collect and pay for your bill - especially awkward when with a group and you have to stand about trying to work out what everyone owes. As La Taqueria are a table service restaurant it would be much easier if a bill could be left to a table first to be looked at before payment. Not quite sure why they don't do this. Outside of this minor gripe, all I can say is - the food and cocktails are amazing - cheers to La Taqueria.

Another competitor in the Mexican fast food market in Belfast, with more or less the usual range of…read moreformats (burrito, fajita, burrito bowl, taco) and choice of beef, pork, chicken or peppers as filling. Tacos are soft by default, which I think makes good sense in terms of trying to hold them together when eating them. I'm happy enough about the food but after having to wait for weeks turning to months for this place to open, they could have given more consideration to the people-flow aspects of design and layout. If the place is busy, the queue obstructs the flow of people from counter to seating. Then anybody sitting by the window has to cut through the queue to access the waste bins. Surely there are better ways of doing this. The counter could have been operated in the opposite direction with the queue directed anticlockwise around the wall by a balustrade. Then anybody leaving the counter could access all seating areas and bins without crossing the queue or squeezing past it.

El Chapo, as the name suggests is a Tex-Mex restaurant. Their cocktails (especially the Classic and…read moreFrozen Margaritas) are superb, food is good with lots of vegetarian (can be veganised on request) and gluten-free options. Both the veggie soft and hard shell tacos are delicious, as is the sharing breadboard starter. Though I wasn't a fan of the veggie burrito - thought it lacked flavour. There's a fantastic outside area which is a suntrap on summer afternoons/ early evenings - lovely to relax in. Plus, El Chapo run a range of daily offers, eg Taco Tuesdays during which you can order a Taco dish and get a Frozen Margarita for only £1.00. Have enjoyed dinning here a few times and would recommend.

A simple glance at an El Paso taco box in Sainsbury's will tell them what goes into a taco. The soft prawn taco was supposed to have salsa on it. Nope, just some creamy sauce, no salsa. The margarita had the salt caked onto one side only. Read a book about how to salt the rim of a glass for a margarita people! Not hard to do. The inside is nice. But the food was not, esp not worth the price. I doubt we'll ever return. Sorry, we wanted to like it.

The Queso as you can see from my attached picture was basically a table spoon full, the chips were caked in salt and stale. My burrito bowl was missing the extra Queso that I requested was put into it. Also I'm upset my bowl was a quarter empty when everyone else who had ordered had there's filled up to the top.

I decided on the tempura-battered cod fish tacos and they were really good, especially the chipotle ranch sauce (or whatever creamy spicy something was on them!).

I was actually lured in here yesterday by a sandwich board outside saying 'Buy one get one half price on Burgers' but to my disappointment that deal only starts after 6pm - so don't get caught out. Once inside I didn't want to be 'That guy' who leaves once he finds out a deal isn't available - no one likes 'that guy'. So I stayed and I'm glad I did. The lunch menu isn't too expansive - it consists of a few starters, mussels, wings and chowder and for mains you can pick from 7 pub favourites like fish and chips or burgers. Having convinced my wee brain I was getting a burger before I walked in I went for a Mexican burger - it was priced at £12 which I initially thought was quite steep but once it came out I realised it was well worth the money. The burger was cooked to perfection (we were asked how we'd like it cooked - I opted for pink) and it was topped with spicy beef chili and huge chunks of chorizo - nice and sloppy and full of flavour. It was accompanied by potato cut chips, you know the type that have the skin still on one side for added authenticity. Can't fault the food at all and the staff are excellent - we were seated promptly, offered drinks and our orders were taken as soon as we were ready. A really great lunchtime destination. 5 Stars for food!
