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.

Fantastic Food at great price. I got the burrito with the chipotle and honey pork and it was…read moredelicious. 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!!

This is a great place for drinks…read more I know other reviews show food being served...however...as of July 2025 there is no kitchen open here which serves food. However, if you wish, you may bring in takeaway food from nearby establishments. My mates and I loved this place for its simple offerings of good beer on draught, and their local whiskey selection. Everyone else was watching the football match on the tele...but we were just having fun amongst ourselves.

So glad I stopped by Taphouse for dinner this evening…read more The inviting laidback atmosphere and warm service was exactly what I needed after a long flight from California, with entitled children, rude passengers, and a pervasive air of anxiety that's become "normal" nowadays. I opted for a pint of Guinness on tap (of course!) and asked for food recommendations. My server said the New York deli (pastrami and Swiss melt) was popular, but added that her favorites were the chicken pesto and the tuna melt. Not in the mood for seafood, I opted for the chicken pesto. Which was filling, gooey, and delicious! And "paired" perfectly with my Guinness! Total bill (before tip) - a modest £15.50. Will be back!

The menu has above average pub food. We ordered the wings for a starter and my only complaint was we ordered 12 and received 10!!! That aside, the sauce was delicious with a healthy zing to it... some of my favourite wings in Glasgow actually. For the main I got the NYC pastrami sandwich, which tasted pretty good and had a healthy portion of fixings! I had the rosemary chips on the side, and cleared my little bucket. My friend ordered the buffalo pizza and said it was quite tasty; I would have tried some but I already had too much food to attend too! The atmosphere has a good vibe, and I'm sure on the weekend the place is hopping. This is a great addition to the Finnieston area; I will definitely be back!

Just off the main strip of the shopping district and tucked through a little alley way. Sloans is a place that everyone knows about. Somewhat of a fun beer garden vibe outside and the main bar is inside. They were carding to get inside. Table seating was first come first serve outside. Pretty much we're all taken both inside as well. The main bar area is where you can order. It was card only. We did manage to get a seating along of the booth against the corner. The vibe is pretty fun. A local pub that everyone meets and mingle. It's a full bar and I believe they also serve food. I've only entered through the little alley way but this time we left out through a door that takes you directly onto the street area. It looked like theres a hotel up the stairs in the lobby. Maybe there's a hotel or it could just leads to different businesses. It's a cool bar restaurant that's pretty much known in Glasgow. A mixed crowd that's there for all the same things, grab a pint and have a good time.

Decided we needed sustenance! Fit the bill fully! Better than a shopping spree!read more

I can only review as a bar as I ain't eaten here…read more.. As a bar it is decent, seems a bit rough about the edges in a dive bar type of way, but the clientele usually are ok and the atmosphere always seems pleasant enough. It's got a lot going on, In that there is a club down stairs, food is served upstairs and there is also a lot of focus on it just being a pub. I've been a good few times and it's usually mobbed. I think that's partly because there ain't any other decent pubs on queen street (that I can think of) and it means everyone heads here. In other areas it might not be my first destination, but where it is it ranks quite highly amongst the places I would stop for a pint if passing. Sometimes it even has some unusual bottles of craft beer hidden in the fridges which is always a good thing. Could be a three on anther street, but a better option on queen street, so I will go with a positive 4 stars.

The wraps are well constructed and bites of flavor. The fajitas are also well executed and thoughtfully presented. The menu is a bit out there, but accessible to the open-minded.

It is not located in the hip touristy area next to Planet Hollywood. It is a small unassuming pub in a working class neighborhood. We walked from Glasgow University (looks like Hogwarts) which turned out to be a longer walk than Google made it seem. It was cold and drizzly just like Scotland should be so when we got there we were ready. We didn't have reservations but they were extremely nice and sat us down. This is a Pub. Just what you are picturing in your head right now. Dark, lots of dark wood, old crumbling bricks. I love this decor. We started with a couple of appetizers I ordered the Salmon Tartar and my wife ordered the smoked duck breast. I ordered a cold pint my wife had a glass of white wine. We decided to also have a half dozen local oysters. The waitress asked if we were expecting someone else. I guess 3 appetizers is not normal for 2. We were just getting started. Once we demolished all 3 appetizers I followed up with the Pan Seared Gigha Halibut my wife had the steamed Shetland Mussels. What a treat. All the seafood is local and very fresh. All of our dishes from beginning to end were tops. A truly historic dining experience from a historic eatery. In Glasgow then GO...... to The Finnieston. See what I did there. BTW we also had dessert.
