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!

It's was extremely busy in the first couple of weeks since opening and almost impossible to get a table! Luckily on a busy Saturday a member of staff did her best to squeeze myself and Scott C in. Now Brighton has its fair share of Mexican restaurants. I wasn't really too sure what to expect, as the various independents and chains in Brighton really vary a lot in quality. Our server was a lovely young lady called Sam, who talked us through the menu and said that Wahaca is mainly known for it's smaller street food dishes. You pick 2-3 dishes per person and share (or not share, depending on your mood). Scott and I opted for a few street food dishes between us, which turned out to be a lot more filling than I expected! I've been a few times since my first visit - it's a good place to pop in for a light lunch if you're in town, and excellent for meeting friends for cocktails. Overall I am super impressed. Wahaca has been a fab addition to the Brighton food scene in my opinion :)

This is a great little Mexican restaurant where the food bursts with flavour and quality. With so…read moremany good deals, it would simply be a joke to pass up the chance to sample Los Amigos' colourful menu in favour of another Mexican joint. I'd wager it's the best in town. You must book on weekends as it gets quite busy but don't let this put you off as, in true Mexican style, the more people that arrive the better the atmosphere gets. If you like fajitas pop down Mon or Wed as they offer large chicken or vegetarian fajitas for £15 and these will easily fill two hungry tummies. Other deals include Tapas for two for £15 on Tuesdays and a two-course special menu available Sun-Thurs for £8.95. This place is great for special occasions as the sangria flows freely (£10 per jug) and the staff are more than accommodating. If you fancy some authentic Mexican food in a fun but not unoriginal environment, then look no further.

The staff member approached me and directed me to a table right next to a busy table full of rather load people, as it was the only table with people on it I thought I could sit somewhere a little away from the noise, (my mistake) so I kindly asked if I could sit up the back of the restaurant, she pointed me in the direction and left me too it. From the service to the food, well what can I say overpriced and as far from Mexican food I have had, very tasteless, just nothing to it what so ever, no chicken in the chicken chimichanga but plenty of refried beans but again over cooked, just not very good at all. All round avoid this place, the service and food was bad, I have eaten Mexican food in many places including Mexico and America and this was just an insult to a fine cuisine.

I've been here several times and have been holding off on my review, waiting for that one time…read morewhere my opinions change dramatically about this place. Sadly, this time has never come. The food in here really is distinctly meh. Nothing to blow anyone's socks off, I'd vouch. It's fine. It's average! But who wants fine and average when they're dining out? I can cook fine and average very well at home, thanks! Firstly, let me just say that in terms of speedy, relatively cheap food (£5 for a 'medium' (massive) burrito) this place is a-ok. It's quick service and easy to take away or sit-in with. So, if that's what you're after, then by all means stop on by. However, if you're after great Mexican food, this place is likely to disappoint. The system is simple. You pick your dish and the servers build it for you right then and there. A Mexican subway, if you will. The staff are pleasant enough and quick about their work, so no real complaints there. Everything I've tried from here has been rather bland. The meat is tasteless, be it the pork, the chicken or even the beef that costs more to add in. It's a little on the dry side and lacks that juicy, flavoured quality a good burrito has. I added guacamole (extra cost again, as per usual in these joints) and even the spiciest salsa and still, the tastes were underwhelming, to say the least. Even the tortilla wraps (their very namesake!!) are a little too gooey for my liking! I don't rate this place and, despite it's temptingly close proximity to my flat, I think I have finally given up hope on it. There are too many decent Mexican places around that, for little extra cost, will offer much tastier and more flavoursome food!

I had the large chicken burrito with an optional side of guacamole for 70p extra. Quite a few options for toppings and everything was spot on and fresh. The large is a nice size and come hungry if you want to enjoy it. With a side it tortilla chips that was a tad bit salty but overall the meal was great! The prices are pretty good value for money and nice and tasty and something different to a sandwich or burger. Great seating options with a few booths on the main level as well as seating downstairs and upstairs. Pretty simple menu with everything you need including other options, if you maybe don't want a burrito and want it in a bowl instead. Also a few added extras one can put on their meal. When I was sitting eating, the customers came rolling in getting a mixture of take away and seated. Nice job.

Then he told me that they could not make ANYTHING without adding coriander. Does that sound reasonable? It doesn't to me. Then when I told him I was going to just eat somewhere else, he became very offended. I was going to argue with him, but he was such a dope, I decided to keep my mouth shut and just walk out.

Their happy hour rocks pretty hard: 2 for 1 cocktails all day Sun-Wed and from 12-7:30 Thurs-Sat. Translation = you now have a perfectly good reason to drink at noon on a Thursday - 2 for 1! Bless you Las Iguanas. Happy hour also includes Tapas specials: 3 for £14.50 or 5 for £24. We got the prawn fajitas and enough other tapas to feed a small army or just two really greedy people.

I also had myself a nice black coffee (it was one of those days!)... The food menu is great here and there are plenty of appealing options to choose from. I spotted steak and chips for a mere £11 (plus £1 for peppercorn sauce, which of course I added) and was a little dubious... Steak and chips for £11? It's hard to not expect poor quality at that price, but I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised. The steak was great and cooked medium rare, as requested. The chips were AMAZING and the added peppercorn sauce was delicious and came a-plenty as well, so worth the £1 extra in my books. There was also a lovely big side salad that came with the dish, making it a hearty and tasty meal at such a bargain price! The setting is lovely in here too. I was able to bring my pup inside, which is such a massive plus for me, and there was a really friendly and comfortable atmosphere! I can't wait to go back to this place and, if I'm ever craving a steak and chips that won't break the bank, I'll be in here in a shot!! :)
