The staff are really lively and friendly in a genuine way. They serve a mean Margarita which I think is the ideal way to start your evening off. The nachos are fantastic to share but it is too tempting to get filled up on them so be careful! My favourite is the full rack of ribs, they are so juicy and just the right size portion (if a little too much). Kids eat here for free all week which I think is an amazing thing to offer. I almost wish I had some fat kids!

I think I would have to rate the food as 8/10. It's not what I would consider authentic Mexican food but the portion size is very good and very tasty. Gets to your table piping hot. Very nice relaxed atmosphere. Great place to fill your tummy before heading into town

As we are visiting from outside the area we arrived at 6pm on Friday evening and hadn't booked…read more Received a luke warm welcome from the foh manager and showed to a table by the front door. It seemed we were really a nuisance to them! Drinks were sent back as at £8.95 for a cocktail i expected something very much better, no ice, luke warm and little flavour despite pre- ordering spicy! Replacement brought with a huff! Plates for starters were dirty, olives fermenting and wings just ok. Mains were better but lettuce, cheese and add ons for fajitas arrived well before the food and got warm and were small and uninteresting. Mains were ok but the bill was extortionate for the quality. Wouldn't go back far better restaurants in town with much better front of house service.

Pachangas offers truly authentic Mexican cuisine with imaginative recipes and great ingredients. A long fully loaded cocktail bar offers a large range of large and strong cocktails all made by hand to order. Kali the barman was great and clearly had a passion for what he was doing. Carlos the owner has been in the trade for several decades and his latest offering is a must try. If you like real Mexican food you will love this. I have lived and travelled extensively in Central America and this is as good as you will find in the UK. The restaurant although rather dull from the outside is wonderfully bright using some vibrant Mexican colours for the decor. Great up tempo music and clever lighting make a great ambience. Ely from South America served us and she was very smiley efficient and helpful. We ordered the Calamari to start which was tender and superbly presented. The pulled pork main was a highlight. A table next to us order the ribs and a huge rib-steak so there are a few dishes for those who don't want to do the full Mexican thing. A must is the fried planton as a side. If you want even hotter spicy food + ask Carlos he can really ramp it up or alternatively tone it down if you are the boiled cabbage variety. A nice touch they use corn flour rather than wheat flour so much of the menu is GF. For smokers there is an outside dining area. There is also ample public parking right behind the restaurant. Book at weekends as it is usually full! In summary vibrant, authentic, owner driven with a South American chef team, prices reflect quality of produce and authenticity of recipes.

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!

Excellent food, excellent service…read more I had enchiladas, which were delicious, paired with hot chocolate and churros. An amazing evening, thanks to ChimiChanga! The prices were good too - for the amount of food and quality of it, it was great value! When I saw the outside, I was sceptical of the authenticity of the place, due to the bright colours on the logo, but I was so wrong! Inside, it's much bigger than it looks, and clearly is popular - at three in the afternoon, they were completely empty, but later they had to turn people away at the doors it was so heaving! (That's why I recommend booking a table beforehand.) Would go again!

Good coffee, very comfortable and cheerful ambiance. Been there twice for breakfast and service was a bit on the relaxed size despite the place being empty at the time. Not slow as such, we were seated and the food and drinks came reasonably promptly, more just a matter of noticing no one has brought you the bill yet and then getting it a few minutes afterwards. So pretty great if you enjoy lingering over your substantial meal but if you've got someplace to be you might want to poke your head around the corner and ask for the bill.

I was even less hopeful once I saw that their vegetarian enchilada contained butternut squash - I'm not a fan of that particular vegetable. But I ordered it anyway, being a vegetarian, and - wow!

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.
