Food is pretty good, but portions are small. I could easy eat 2 portions of mains and I'm a thin modelesque build. Drink are also expensive. Service is pushy. They didn't prepare for our reservation and our table didn't accommodate for the size of our party.

The best nachos I’ve ever had in Brighton was from Carlito but my recent visit left a lot to be desired. The nachos were smothered in an ultra processed cheese sauce which disguised how little real cheese there really was. There were no refried beans, there wasn’t any real salsa and the portions size was quite shameful. You might expect this from a pub when you’re paying 6 quid but not from a Mexican and paying £12.50. My quesadilla was reasonable but lacked much flavour and there wasn’t really much food inside the tortilla. To be charged service and still be hungry was a bit of an insult. It’s supposed to be street food - you would never expect to be charged service for street food when you’re in and out in 20 minutes. Fair enough if you’re in a group and having cocktails etc. Los nachos no son muy buenos y mi quesadilla es razonable.

Visiting from America I thought it would be impossible to find half decent Mexican food here. These guys proved me wrong! Delicious tacos, Mexican beer, and the sweetest servers. Wish the portion sizes weren’t so small but that’s just the American in me.

Nice spot in central Brighton, authentic tasting food and great variety. Staff were a bit surly to begin with and drinks a bit expensive, but very nice. Recommend the pork quesadillas, chicken tacos and prawns.

Easily best burritos in Brighton and I’ll be back with the whole fam when it’s time to smash some tequila and margaritas. A bit on the spenny side but service and food was great so you get what you pay for. Oh and there’s sick vegan options.

Sad to see how overpriced the restaurant has become. Back when we first came it was already reasonably expensive but still decent for the great food quality. These days you pay £13-14 for 2 tacos (it used to be 3 tacos). In addition with a lemonade and service fee you come out paying over £22 for barely a taste of food. The food quality is good and tasty but the prices are getting ridiculous. In Barcelona we get amazing Mexican food for much less.

Promedio en el mejor de los casos. La comida estaba bien. Es un lugar de comida rápida en lugar de un restaurante. El gerente fue muy grosero a la llegada. Aparentemente otro miembro del personal no apareció: “Date prisa y ordena” fue su consejo. Fui a pagar y me presionaron por una “propina” de cargo por servicio me negué y ella no estaba feliz. Le dije a mi familia que no era una buena persona. Estoy seguro de que hay mucho mejores en Brighton.

Había oído cosas buenas sobre este lugar y estaba deseando probarlo, pero honestamente esta fue una de las peores experiencias gastronómicas que he tenido. Mi entrante llegó y eran tres langostinos y un poco de salchicha. Los langostinos estaban bastante desaborizados, pero aún así, estaba deseando el plato principal. A todos mis amigos les sirvieron la comida, pero los míos nunca aparecieron. En tres ocasiones distintas pregunté después de mi comida y me dijeron que la cocina estaba respaldada. Todos mis amigos terminaron sus comidas y pidieron más bebidas mientras esperaba mi comida. Y esperó. Y esperó. Y vio a otros comensales entrar en el edificio, sentarse y servir su comida... Y esperé un poco más. Finalmente, como tenía otros planes, pedí cancelar la comida. Sin disculpas, sin ofrecimiento de recompensa, ni siquiera una bebida gratuita... solo 'sí, claro'. Sinceramente, no creo que hubiera llegado a la cocina. Ya no mencioné el hecho de que había ido a cenar, había pasado más de una hora en el establecimiento y no me habían servido lo que pedí. Ciertamente no volverá.

Pedimos desde aquí anoche ya que La choza no estaba recibiendo ningún pedido en ese momento. Uber tomó siglos desde recoger la comida hasta la entrega, así que hacía frío, así que obviamente no es culpa de los restaurantes. Los nachos que estaban súper empapados como dip estaba en ellos en lugar de separados y pedí una quesadilla pero no tenía queso o chorizo y estaba súper empapado. El burrito de marido estaba bien, pero todavía bastante empapado. Fue una pena, ya que era caro en £ 40 para los 3 artículos antes de la entrega.
