    Carlito Burrito - Acapulco is very beautiful.  No, that is the cocktail. Brighton Gin, lychee liqueur, passion fruit syrup, hibiscus. Would drink again.

    Quesadilla was amazing! Monty lemonade also fantastic! Great atmosphere and service was…read morewonderful. Definitely a place to eat at again

    Since this place cropped up a few months ago, I've been dying to try it! As a lover of Mexican…read morefood, I am always happy to welcome new Mexican joints to the city - especially ones that look as vibrant and enticing as Carlito Burrito. I went in for dinner here on a Wednesday night and the place was completely packed. We got seated (just!) at a lovely big table in the window, decked out in a colourful, bright table cloth. The restaurant, being rather small, was buzzing and had a great atmosphere about it. Now, I wasn't that hungry when I arrived but as soon as you walk through the door and smell that food, I wager that anyone's stomach would start to rumble. The menu is perfect - just enough to satisfy most customers but not overwhelmingly large. I opted for a pork burrito and, let me say, I was not disappointed by my choice. First let me say that I've been on the hunt around Brighton for a top-notch burrito for a while now, so whenever I sit down to try one, my expectations are high! There's a lot that can wrong with a burrito, so it can be a bit underwhelming, but then, there's a lot that can go right... Carlito Burrito have nailed it (as they should have, considering they even have burrito in their name). My meal was packed full of flavour and texture, staying piping hot throughout and was just the right amount for a hungry person. Granted, it was an absolute nightmare to eat - my friends were no doubt ashamed to be sitting with me by the end of it, my hands and face covered - but the mess is so so worth it!! My friends had the fish tacos which looked gorgeous and apparently tasted delicious as well, but were certainly a smaller portion, so if you're looking for something filling then the burrito is the choice for you! It's been a few days now and I'm still thinking about that meal. I'm so thrilled that I've finally found an epic Brighton burrito (though my physique my not be thanking me in a few months time). Being new to Brighton, it was great to see this place thriving as well! Carlito Burrito is well worth a visit! Friendly staff, great atmosphere and hands down the tastiest Mexican food I've tasted yet in Brighton! Get there! Quickly!

    I'll admit I'm more than a tad biased as someone who lived literally only an hour and half from the…read moreMexican border. This is not authentic Mexican food. Nor does it come close to tasting like it. Sorry, it's not. It'll pass for British people who don't know any better, but not for those of us who do. The service was fine, ambiance was ok, nothing to write home about. If you are an American or Mexican and you are missing a taste of home, I can't recommend.

    I think I'm slowly making my way around the new restaurants in the new area of Bluewater because…read morethe food court is shut down (I could have a WHOLE conversation about that but let's not...) Wahaca is one of these offerings, it lies between Nandos and GBK. The competition must be fierce, especially with Nandos. Given the choice, and because it's summer, GO FOR WAHACA. It's refreshing and it's not like any normal mexican you've had before. (granted, it has the normal fare such as heavy burritos) I highly highly recommend the tapas style dishes, it's perfect for a light lunch and it's super healthy! I wasn't feeling very hungry today, i'm still full from two days ago-meatliquor. LOL The msc Ceviche tostada was brilliant, it was fresh salad with lime marinated scallops and shrimps with a habanero sauce. It was crunchy, refreshing with a zing. My top choice out of the tapas we tried! WE also ordered a chicken quesedilla, and also mini steak tacos. Both were very good, although if you like really cheesy quesedilla, this isn't the one you should order, but for a light lunch and as a tapas meals, it was perfect. Maybe it's because we're chinese, but this felt alot like dim sum..with more salad. The only downside to the meal was the refried black beans tostada, although the guacamole was lovely, they put far too much sour cream on, it just overpowered everything. Hence why one star is knocked off! If the habanero is too hot (it's not really) cool down with a citrus fizz, it's limey, fizzy and minty. A bit like a virgin mojito.
