    Excellent and legitimate Texmex in York! Friendly helpful staff - blazing hot sauce - I highly…read morerecommend the Mexican Sampler of 3 enchiladas beans and rice. Great portion size and authentic flavor throughout. Go before 6pm and get 25% off the whole bill! I would have given it 5 stars but for a few family unfriendly placards on the wall - but why throw out a Rolls Royce for a little scratch?! I recommend Fiesta Latino for Mexican food in the York area: good food better price! I'll be back for sure

    As a lover of Mexican food it is always a struggle to find good Mexican in the UK until now…read more We went on a Wednesday night and it was quite busy , I would suggest booking in advance to be certain of getting in. Also they have 25% off the bill between 4pm and 6pm everyday and watch for Tuesday and Sunday as this is student night where they get 50% off. It has a Mexican themed interior with a lively atmosphere spread over two levels. We ordered the Nachos Cowabunga sharer to start ,Nachos fully loaded with chilli beef ,chilli chicken ,cheese ,bacon bits,scallions and soured cream ,it was huge ,could easily do 4 people. For mains we had -Beef Buritto which came with guacamole, cream, black beans and rice and the Mexi Burger ,which was a 9oz burger covered in beef chilli served with curly fries salad and cowslaw. Both were very large portions and we struggled to finish them The food quality, service and lively atmosphere all added to a great experience, check it out.

    I'd seen some terrible reviews of La Casita online but if being a person who writes online…read morerestaurant reviews teaches you anything, it's when other ones are not totally legit. So I ignored them and went anyway and I'm glad I did because it was a really delicious, good value meal with great friendly service. Rich and I shared the choriqueso and the guacamole bowl to start. The choriqueso as you may be able to guess is a ton of chorizo with a ton of melted cheese. Of course this was bloody delicious. The guacamole was good too, I'm not sure what was achieved by it being in a tortilla bowl but it definite didn't detract from anything. For mains I had tacos el pastor and Rich had fajitas with chicken and chorizo. The tacos were great - no weird hard shells here - and the filling very tasty. If I had any complaints here it would be that the meat had a slightly 'chalky' aftertaste, so possibly I'd try another taco filling on another visit. The hot sauce that comes with the tacos is pretty bloody hot, believe them when they say that. Rich's only complaint was that the fajitas came with a large amount of filling and only two small tortillas. To drink I had a bottle of Sol and a very good, very strong margarita. Rich had a pint of lager and a rum and coke. For two starters, two mains and four drinks we paid around £50 which I thought was pretty good. I'll definitely be back! I just hope it sticks around as businesses seem to come and go in this location (so go support them!).

    Worth a visit just for the Chimichangas! I ordered these as a starter and they were 3 small-ish…read moredeep fried pulled pork burritos, and were absolutely delicious! A layer of lettuce sat on top with cream served with pico de gallo (Fresh Mexican salsa), and a spicy dipping sauce. The pulled pork was juicy and full of flavour, the outside was nice and crispy, and the spicy sauce was the perfect addition. I made a major foodie error, and ordered the Cochinita Pibil burrito for my main, which is basically an upsacle non-fried version of the Chimichangas - in my defence: PULLED PORK! The Cochinita Pibil was slow cooked pulled-pork marinated in oranges, lime and traditional Mayan flavouring, and was spot on! I HAVE NO REGRETS The restaurant is a quaint little place at the Chorlton end of Barlow Moor Road, with a large open window and terrace, which is great on a warm Summers' night like on the night I visited. The inside is filled with Mexican style décor, like an awesome painting depicted Cinco de Mayo celebrations. The price was very reasonable and service was great, friendly and attentive, and I will definitely return to sample the guacamole, and bigger variety of their dishes.

    VJ's Cafe Bar is a great spot to grab some food and drink. Upon entering we found a spot by the…read morewindow. We ordered from the menu and our server was really sweet and attentive. I ordered a bowl of chili with cheesy garlic bread and chips on the side. I also asked for a water. My dining companion ordered an ale and the Mexican burger. The burger is topped with chili, jalapenos, and normally cheese. He ordered it without. The burger also comes with not only chips but onion rings as well. The drinks came out first and I was happy to see that the ice cubes were crystal clear. He was quite happy with the Black Sheep Ale. The English are notorious for their warm ales and we were curious to check them out. The food arrived promptly. By this time, it was 3 pm and I was starving. The chili was sadly one note. There were no hints of cumin or spice to it at all but it was beanless so that was nice. The chips were the perfect consistency. I didn't even mind putting malt vinegar with my chips at this point. For a ketchup only girl, this is huge. The cheesy garlic bread was made with ciabatta and it was quite tasty. It was also a little greasy too but it was cold out and I wasn't about to complain too much. My dining companion seemed to enjoy his meal as he cleared his plate. Food for me was 3 stars. But they get bumped up an extra star mostly because it seemed like a place that genuine locals liked to visit and that they were kind enough to keep my friend's gloves in a lost & found closet. We realized pretty quickly that he had left them behind so when we came back, they had them for us. I'm sure it happens a lot but it is nice to know that they do keep it in case you come back for it.

    VJ's a nice little bar with 'trendy' decor and slightly overpriced drinks. It's not extortionate…read morethough and it is a nice asmosphere in there, with friendly staff and good music. I've had food a couple of times in there too which was nothing spectacular but can't complain about it either. I don't go here that often as I prefer other places in York and VJs isn't that big so it can get a bit overcrowded in there.

    The food was great the new Owner of IN Beach was there eating with his wife, Skyler took care of us…read moreand was awesome.

    There was nothing here that I thought was really tasty, but nothing terrible either…read more Service was slightly odd, our server took about 30 mins to bring food menus and did not understand me asking about recommendations for frozen margarita. We weren't offered a second round of drinks until after we'd finished our food, and only got water with the bill. Weirdly at this point the server became super friendly - maybe she'd received some good news halfway through our meal, or was happy we were the last customers! Food-wise the cheese fondue and nachos with everything selection I don't think wowed anyone but were nice enough. My tacos were all fine although completely disintegrated once I added sauces. The carne asada was definitely more like braised meat than steak, but still tasted fine. The shrimp was again fine but unremarkable. Overall the taste couldn't compare to the fish tacos over at Fusion Lab. My taco dorado had the nicest filling (guacamole, chorizo) but it wasn't the best deep-fried taste - not sure whether that's just my preference or something about the oil but would give them the benefit of the doubt. The huitaloche enchilada wasn't that exciting in the end - basically a sort of mushroom flavour, I wouldn't go for it unless you lurve mushrooms. I think Yayo is right this would be good as a late night place for some snacks after drinking, however it seems to close by 11 even on Saturday so they might be missing a trick there. Overall I wouldn't say no to going back but nor would I suggest it.
