Beyond Mexican food, I was happy to find Frank's Red Hot sauce, dill pickles, and Hidden Valley Ranch dressing packets. Every time I go in, I just wander around for a few minutes, because it reminds me of all the (food) things I miss about home!

Dennistoun BBQ does super casual dining really well. You order at the counter and wait around 10-15 minutes (maybe longer if its super busy) and then they'll shout your name so you can grab your food. I have very specific taste in beef burger so more often than not, I start with a chicken burger at a new place before trying a beef one - I think chicken is generally done better than beef. This chicken burger was RIDICULOUS in size, it was mostly all hanging out of the bun as it was so big. Am I complaining? No way, it was absolutely delicious and had that juicy, smoky freshness from grilled chicken that so many places screw up by overcooking. It was hard to eat though so I ended up just aiming on eating the fillet rather than the burger. I tried a couple of sides; cajun fries and mac cheese. The cajun fries are amazing and probably the best I can remember eating in Glasgow. There was just the right amount of seasoning and they packed a good punch. You know what makes Cajun fries even better? Dipping them into mac cheese. Oh yeh, I went there and I'm not ashamed. My friend Sharon M wasn't all that impressed with the mac cheese but she is pretty judgemental (I mean that as a compliment, she makes a damn amazing mac cheese) - personally, I liked it. It was cheesy, the mac was cooked just right. Simple, and good. This isn't the kind of place to eat and then sit about chatting with your pals, so we headed up the road for dessert. I'll be back sooner rather than later for more of that ridiculous chicken. They also do takeaway - phone in your order so you don't have to wait too long as it was really busy on a Friday night. I understand why.

Traveling through Scotland we've been amazed at all the Mexican food restaurants. After a terrible plate of natchos, we've avoided them until last night. The lure of a margarita brought us in to this place that serves water out of Jose Cuervo bottles. The ambiance was lively and had the bright ceramics of our home town neighbor. Ben, our waiter, was wonderful-calmly dealing with our concerns and bringing us dishes one at a time. We started with fish tacos which were delicious and had slices of Serrano peppers. The spiciness was welcome. We had prawn tostadas that I would order again without hesitation. Quality of the prawns was excellent. The spirit of Mexican cuisine was in these dishes although they were different than the Mexican food we've had in Mexico and in San Diego. The calamari was a stretch for being Mexican but tasted great. We were disappointed to not have the margarita rims salted and the avocado was barely adequate for us but otherwise this place is great for Mexican food in Scotland.

The salsa verde that it came with was so good and helped neutralize some of the spiciness of the other dishes. The chips and guac were alright, i though the chips were way too salty. The tostadas with shredded beef were delicious and also the chicken tinga tacos. The churros were amazing and the chocolate sauce they brought it with was unlike anything i've had before. The waitresses were super polite and attentive and the service was quick. Finally the ambience was amazing, they provide you with pencils so you could write messages on the walls. They also had a great and authentic playlist of latin music playing. As someone from Miami, I felt right at home. Be sure to try the strawberry margarita!!

The rebrand of my favourite love/hate affair - Pinto…read more Nothing has changed inside apart from a lick of paint, new menu boards, and new branding. Instead the main changes are on the menu and the attitude of the staff. My big problem with Pinto was it slowly felt like a production line as time went on, this is now the opposite - you are greeted at the door by a friendly face, the staff behind the counter are friendly and chatty, and there seems a lot more love and attention put into making your food now. The menu itself is made up with the exact same menu as Pinto, but with additions to the burritos - a loaded burrito (a standard burrito with coleslaw and guacamole), and a superfood burrito (coleslaw replacing the rice), there is also the addition of Churos to the menu which is great for a sweet tooth like me. The food itself hasn't changed much, there's just a couple of tweaks I noticed. I spotted herbs and spices being added to the rice while I waited. My favourite part is the bland chicken that continually disappointed in Pinto has gone. The chicken now has a subtle kick of spice to it that complements everything else in the burrito brilliantly. A much welcome rebrand.

They also do 'Vegan Tuesdays', so need to investigate what that's all about. Heard their pulled tofu burritos are awesome. This place is very vegan-friendly. I had guacamole, some sort of ridiculously spicy salsa, veggie chilli, jalapenos and rice in my burrito. For a small burrito it was very filling, especially with the lovely tortilla chips. The guac was delicious and balanced out the spices a little. The water took the edge off the spice, but not much. Like a proper kick though, so was delighted with this. You can choose between mild, medium, hot and extra hot. The place itself is quite small. The table I sat at still had the last customer's leftovers there, but it was busy when I arrived so can forgive them for that. You can buy bottles of hot sauce here and they do Swipii points. Yay! Can't wait to go back! Will check out the city centre shop next time.

We saw staring at us from a far the Gumbo sign, so we looked at each other and we said, ok. Rawk! It wasn't too busy, we were greeted by a friendly staff member and we said we were here for your food. We got a seat at a booth and he brought us over the menu. I felt there was so much to choose from, to be honest I was a bit overwhelmed. You know when you're at a restaurant and there's a few things you don't like so that helps in elimination for your final decision. Well, this had nearly everything I like on it. Oh bums! We had a few questions, one being. Kind sir, what are these Hush Puppies you sell? Well, there are made from corn bread and are filled with sweetcorn and jalapeños. My man said oh yes to them and a plate of their finest chicken gumbo please. I settled for a rack of ribs, man they were huge. They were so big they were bigger than my hands. I had a cheeky wee side of onion rings, which I'm glad I ordered. I felt the ribs were a bit undercooked for me as they were still pink in the middle. They tastied lovely but I found them hard to eat. I had to ask for a steak knife because I couldn't bite the meat off the bones. I need that meat just to slide off my bones. Oo er! Overall it was a lovely experience. The staff were really nice and the decor has certainly improved from the Common Rooms days. I would definitely go back and try something else from their menu. I fancy a Po' Boy sub next time. The pulled pork one is certainly pulling me in. Noms!

The type that's like a chicken mush patty with breadcrumbs, not had that since mum when to Iceland and bought 10 of them for a £1!!! Chips were good and to chip shop quality. I saw a few people walk out, several with the pricing on their menu, then a few more with the length of wait for food, 10/20mins is obviously not idea for people looking for a quick lunch stop The seating is great to stop in and eat .... 6 large tables that can cater for 30 people then a breakfast bar that has 4 stools

Takeaways in Paisley are like a plague. Literally, every second shop is some kind of Indian,…read moreChinese or a Fish and Chip shop. So we needed a shake up on the Paisley food scene, if you can call it a 'scene' of course. Along comes The BBQ Shack with their American, Man vs. Food inspired dishes such as Pulled Pork and Ribs. I'm personally a great lover of anything with "BBQ" in the title, I love BBQ'd foods. Ribs, chicken, chicken wings, burgers-all the kinds of things you get in TGI Friday's and the likes. So, here I am, one hungover Sunday, chapping at the bit for something greasy to eat, I decided to give The BBQ Shack a try. I'd heard some pretty grim things about people waiting up to two hours for a delivery-and it said on the JustEat confirmation that my expected delivery time wouldn't be until 22:55. But it was Sunday night. My delivery same at just after 10, half an hour after I ordered. Wonderful. I was ravenous. I had chicken wings and fries. It came to £7.50. Not bad. And I bit into it and it was absolutely HEAVENLY. It was like my mouth was having an orgasm. The chicken wings are absolutely wonderful. I have quite literally never tasted anything like it. I loved them. I started to feel myself get fuller after the fourth wing. The wings are quite big and the sauce is just genius. The fries were a bit cold and greasy, so I didn't eat many of them-but they were nice! This place gets 5/5 for the wings alone!
