Downtown Tacqueria is a newer, Mexican-style venue in downtown Bristol. Walking into the restaurant…read morereminds you of a discoteca mixed with a stylish bar. The back of the restaurant has an intimate, low-ceiling area that vibrates with club music. However, you can still have a conversation. The staff are friendly and check on you often. A quick refill of water is needed for the spicy guacamole.The tacos, though overpriced at 5 pounds a piece, are bursting with flavor and full of meat or veggies. I would rank the beef, cod, and chicken in that order. The beef had delicious spices and sauce.If you purchase three of one kind of taco, you get the 4th one free - so going in a group is encouraged (as are reservations). If you want to try something else, the quesadillas stole the show with three types of cheeses and a spicy kick to them. They have a variety of margaritas accompanied by a strong pour of tequila and other liquor - a perfect accompaniment to your tacos. Alternatively, you can enjoy a classic Corona and lime, or two! Be sure to stop by any time after 4!

So I went to England and found some pretty good Mexican food. My friends had intended to bring me…read moreto a different spot but finding a place that was open for dinner on a Sunday night was a bit of a challenge. The selection of items were interesting and everything was tasty but not super memorable. The best items for me were the guacomole and the prawn taco. It did seem a bit pricey but maybe that's just Mexican food in the UK. The server was friendly and quick. The space was fun and huge! So if you have a big group this might be the place for you.

This is the best Mexican food establishment that I have ever been to. The service was extremely…read morequick and the staff where very friendly. The food and drinks where both different and delicious. The building itself was very artistic. The one criticism I have if any is that there is a shortage on the take away menu as you can only get burritos. I would highly recommend coming here as I will definitely be coming here again.

If you're looking for a decent British take on traditional Cali-Mex dining, this is as good a place…read moreto start as you'll find. We ordered nearly identical burrito in a bowl/box meals and it was definitely the right choice. The boxes were packed with delicious ingredients. We also ordered a selection of chips and dips, which were all good but none of the sauces were really meant for dipping but made great additions to the boxes. Highlights included the amount of food for the price, as mentioned the box was stuffed. The quality of the ingredients and taste were great. On the flip side, provision of sour cream was anemic and the grilled veggies could've been a bit more charred. Additionally, maybe I'm missing something but I've never had cucumbers included as a grilled veggie but they were a fine addition. The sauces could've been a bit more robust for the price (with chips), and a cheese or nacho sauce would've been a welcome inclusion or side.  We'd happily order again.

Where do I even start. My colleague and I popped in here for a quick lunch break, and man where we…read moredisappointed, disgusted and distraught...The 3 D's. To begin with, the pork was as dry as a bone, it felt like I was eating cotton. Costumer service was outrageous with little explanation to what we where eating or the prices of the food -We where paying restaurant prices for fast food quality. One of the servers even started arguing with her co-worker right in-front of us causing a massive scene which obviously made us quite uncomfortable. My colleague very politely asked for some tap water and the same women refused her this right. Not to mention the bathroom floor was soaking wet and there was no toilet paper at all !! The food lacked flavour and texture, it was just one big ball of mush...what a mess ! We left the venue feeling nauseous and not satisfied in the slightest. We do NOT recommend. Never going here ever again !!! P.s. if I could put 0 stars I would.

The decor is cool it has loads of cool artwork and ornamental pieces and the candlelit ambience makes it feel warm and cosy. The food is good, the nachos extra are always tasty although I'm sure you could make the same at home, saying that they are great for sharing with a jug of Sangria between friends. I had a lamb dish from the specials menu last visit, it was okay, the lamb was well cooked and fell off the bone but it was over seasoned which took away from the flavour of the other ingredients. This place is great for drinks, the Sangria is Delicious and just like something you'd have on holiday. The margaritas are equally good and super tasty. We went with a group of friends and started on the tequilas (when in Rome), however the waitress asked if we wanted to try a different tequila, it was served with orange and cinnamon and oh my that was something special there, it certainly sent us off on or merry/ wobbly way! It's worth a visit if just for those tequilas! The staff are really friendly and put up with a rowdy crowd with us lot with out any issues.

Za Za Bazaar featured one of the most diverse buffet spreads I've ever seen. There were a total of…read moresix different stations with dishes from all around the globe: Indian (with both street food and curries), European (including British and Italian), Tex Mex (including burgers, tacos, nachos, and Caribbean food), Far East (stir-fries, sushi, noodles, pan-Asian), Salad, and Dessert. Some of the standout items for me came from the Indian station, including dishes like dahi bhalla, Amritsari fish (breaded fish, which was much more flavorful than the fish and chips at the Great British station), tandoori naan, dal tadka, vegetable korma, aloo gobi, rogan josh, and chicken tikka masala, all of which were boldly and authentically spiced. Other items I liked included the reggae wings (jerk chicken wings) from Jamaica; the pico de gallo, guacamole, and smoked salsa from Mexico; and the soft-serve vanilla ice cream from the dessert station. Still there were so many other items that I barely got to try including Thai Green Curry with Chicken, Black Pepper Beef, British beef stew and mushy peas, and several made-to-order stations including dosas, piri-piri chicken, pasta, risotto, and noodles. Everything was quality and delicious, the night market atmosphere was fun and lively, and most amazingly, the buffet was just 13 GBP for a weekday lunch! That's not even enough for a single entree elsewhere in Britain, but here you could get plate after plate of foods from all around the world to your heart's content!

There was a pitcher of margaritas for quite an affordable price (around £6) but most of it was full of ice. We also ordered nachos which were ok.

THe meal was affordable but we were really full from all the dips and the refried beans which can be so heavy. I think it actually closed down a few months ago.
