Carlito Burrito in Brighton and Hove

As you enter, you know you’ve picked well. The atmosphere, the colours, the attention to detail. 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.

Wonderful restaurant, the food is delicious and authentic, the staff are always very friendly and efficient, and the hibiscus Margheritas are magnificent. Highly recommended.

Lovely service, Really cool interior and amazing food! Also really recommend the michelada drink!

Great food, great service. Will be back 😘

Great evening a service! Thank you

It's been brilliant experience. Enjoyed a lovely meal waited on by Chloe which was a fun experience

Vibe was great, waitress was lovely really great energy. Sad that there were only three prawns in the Prawn Star (especially as they were so yum) looking forward to coming back soon!!

Great food, great margaritas - highly recommend!

Best vegan nachos ever and lovely vegan burritos. Staff work so hard and are super cheerful. Second visit & will come again :)

Tasty food, quick service and funky atmosphere. Taco dis only had two tacos sadly but tasty

Food was excellent and such a fun vibe to the place. Could not recommend more!

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.

Lovely food, great service and fun atmosphere. We had six small plates between two people, all of which were delicious. The classic margaritas were zingy and generous - we’ll be coming back for more…!

Vibes are strange, music is too loud, but the food is absolutely unbelievable

Really fun music and staff were so lovely not to mention the amazing margaritas! The pork burrito was a flavour explosion would recommend to anyone!!

Love it. The best Mex in Brighton

Great little place for Mexican, the nachos, fish tacos and margaritas are a must! Highly recommend. The service is excellent, the woman we see there is a boss, does service, delicious cocktails and warm friendly reception 😊😊

Always the best Mexican food in Brighton, the best service and great vibes. Fish tacos really are life changing! Mango margaritas also very yum

The steak tacos are top 3 tacos you will ever have in your life !

Such good food, great variety and lovely staff

Lovely food and even lovelier staff!:)

Top quality Mexican food!! Music quite loud but otherwise a great vibe, always a good door for a meal out!

Amazing food & atmosphere, great, attentive & friendly service!

Been here a few times and every time it's blinding. Don't be tempted to ignore the prompt...its carlitto burrito....get the burrito.

Lovely food, lots of options. Margaritas were bloody fantastic and the Palomas were on point!!!

Great food, excellent cocktails and fab service.

Dropped in for a quick bite before a comedy show. We were feeling pretty hungover and tired, it was just what we needed. Staff were friendly and food was banging as always.

Bloody lovely food, groovy atmos, cool staff. Loved it

🌶 lovely evening, really tasty food! The fish tacos were 🤌 highly recommended. Thanks to all the friendly staff.

Love this place! Best Mexican in Brighton 💃🏻

Great staff & service, good music and decoration. The only thing is there was a little creature on the side of my burrito 😂😭

Thoroughly enjoyed the starters especially the nachos, flautas and ezquites.

Great food and excellent service by Chloe😊👌

Best fish tacos I’ve ever tried

Friendly staff, authentic proper Mexican food. Keep it up amigos

Great food, wish the quesadilla was larger.

I love this place. Best cochinita tacos ever

Cute place with great cocktails and food!

Great little spot! The Halouminati burrito was ace..

A Brighton classic, really tasty food and nice staff

Incredible Mexican food! If you're looking for a diverse menu full of options and flavours to mix and match, this is the place! Ingredients taste very fresh and seasoned very well. I almost got every single time from the menu! Had to try all.

Wow, wow, wow! Absolutely amazing food, layers of flavour with every bite. Great hospitality and so authentic. I will definitely be returning next time I'm at Brighton.

Fantastic extremely fresh excellent flavours quality food .

Great cocktails and food, love the atmosphere & the staff are wonderful .

Really good food, but surprisingly modest portions. I'll know for next time.

Amazing authentic mexican food, kind and welcoming staff and the prices are more than fair! Big portions and even bigger flavours, a must visit in Brighton!

I absolutely loved the food here. We tried the fish tacos, pork quesadilla, and corn, and each dish was delicious. The margaritas were also incredibly tasty. Although the service was a bit chaotic with only one person handling the front of the house, she was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely return.

I order from these guys through Uber Eats a fair bit, and the food is exceptional. Really fresh, authentic flavours and really great sized portions too. The Cheeky Chicken Burrito is a go-to, and the basil aioli is SO good. Make sure you get the Hallouminati too - deep fried halloumi with a chipotle dish. Best thing ever. Well worth a visit.

Great food terrible grumpy service

Great burritos and churros. Proper Mexican food!

So good! Genuinely tasty Mexican food, at sensible prices, and great cocktails. Have been lots and it’s always spot on :)

Second time visiting Carlito Burrito this bank holiday weekend and the food was even better than I remembered. Delicious fish tacos and pork tacos! Highly recommend to anyone that likes Mexican!

Excellent place. Good atmosphere, delicious food, friendly service, affordable. We'd love to come back when we're there.

A small Mexican place but really nice food and friendly staff. Good burritos and nachos! And really good portion sizes too.

Quick service. Good food. Cocktails were great. Nice variety for Mexican.

Excellent burritos available and the cocktails were also excellent. Lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. A great meal.

Delicious food and good price. Very friendly staff.

Amazing burritos and good vibes! Decent prices for Brighton! Will definitely be going again!

If you like great authentic Mexican food, good portions and great flavour this is the place. The food is packed full of flavour so much so we had to order more! Drinks are lovely too.

We went here for a late lunch….very relaxed atmosphere, great food, even better margaritas. We had nachos, burritos and the classic and passion fruit margaritas all good. Thx

The serving staff was nice, but the food wasn't that great. The location is good but be aware when you leave the venue as you will find out that are lots of sketchy people around

Absolutely delicious lunch and reasonable prices for the fresh quality. Great music choices too!

We were visiting from London and stumbled across this little gem! The Mexican food was outstanding and the margaritas were amazing. A big thank you to Chloe & Julius who were lovely and made our visit perfect, just wish they’d open one in London! Highly recommended and we will definitely be back 😊 p.s. very dog friendly too!

I must admit, it’s my favourite place to go for a naked burrito whenever I’m in Brighton. I love the casual, friendly vibe of the restaurant and the food is always delicious. I just had their banana blossom naked burrito and it was gorgeous!

very nice nachos, liked the spicy taco too, nice touch: lime slices provided with them!

The banana blossom burrito was delicious!

My boyfriend and I came here for an early valentine’s meal and had absolutely no complaints. Both the cocktails we had were incredible (the huapanga was my fave), and the food was delicious too. My boyfriend particularly loved the halloumi starter! The real highlight though is the staff. The waitress and bartender were so attentive and kind, and made the whole experience. Absolutely recommend!

Lovely lunch with excellent service

My favourite Mexican restaurant by a mile, can't recommend it strongly enough. Absolutely lovely service always, super friendly environment and the food is superb - the fish tacos are seriously as life-changing as they claim, and the fish burrito even more so. Go here.

Hands down my favourite Mexican restaurant in Brighton. The food was insane and the pricing wasn’t bad either especially for the quality. Margaritas are great and have a chilly rim which is very yummy. Highly recommend the nachos !

I had a phone call from the caller Carlito Burrito where I was being sold a new 3 mobile contract. I have never been to this restaurant and I find it an odd service

Ordered a burrito and they somehow managed to wrap the foil inside of the tortilla. This meant it was completely inedible. It appears that they realised they had a problem whilst wrapping and instead of making a new one, proceeded to wrap it in 5 extra layers of foil and pass it to the delivery driver. Reported to Uber eats due to it being unsafe to eat

I booked in advance to get a good table and still think that this is the best Mexican food in Brighton but the service was SO bad this time. We won’t be going back. We arrived and our table wasn’t ready we had to ask to sit somewhere else to wait and the staff member was clearly unhappy with that We ordered drinks and food and even though our table had cleared were told to stay put squashed uncomfortably on a four person table with a buggy rammed in beside us. I’d understand if we were walk ins. The staff member -I think the owner- was very stressed and busy but made no effort to apologise or acknowledge his gruffness. We all felt uncomfortable with his attitude and it ruined the dining experience. Shame, it was our favourite restaurant.

Great food and atmosphere but pricy

Great quesadillas, fish tacos exceptional. Margherita menu delicious. Lovely staff

Burritos are good but a bit pricey now at £12.50 a pop, used to be so much cheaper, but I guess everywhere have raised prices. A burrito and a drink for 3 with one drink each was £65 including tip, ouch

Some of the best food i’ve eaten in Brighton, consistently blows me away. The nachos are to die for, everyone needs to try this!!

Really lovely place to go. It is well worth the price, from service to food to atmosphere, everything was 5 stars. Margaritas were all amazing regardless of which one you chose (my favourite was mango). The nachos were a great starter but would’ve also made a great meal for someone. All the tacos we ordered were delicious. I had the steak tacos, which had a lovely marinade with more of a kick than I was expecting (not complaining though) and an absolutely delicious cheese twirl and salsa. I would also recommend having the churros for dessert if you have room and get both sauces as they are equally delicious. All the staff were amazingly friendly and helpful, happy to answer questions and always ready to take an extra drink order.

The lack of spice levels and the overall flavour quality, which I would rate at a mere 30%, is quite disappointing. Despite the establishment’s seemingly non-corporate, passionate approach to their business, it unfortunately detracts from Brighton’s culinary reputation, especially given its high rating of 4.4 stars. I have given this place a chance on two separate occasions, years apart, and with different companions; yet, none of us left feeling impressed. Perhaps a rebranding or shift in focus towards operating as a Mexican bar, maybe? Wish them the best, hope it improves.

The best mexican in Brighton? Yep I think so. A combination of great food, the tacos were sooo good, and great atmosphere already tick lots of boxes. But, it's great because of the people. Amazing, friendly, funny, warm staff made it for us. A place we want to go back to every night if we could!

Muy ricos los burritos y los jugos con fruta natural, el servicio excelente

Really authentic good fun place. Great food, excellent cocktails, Really friendly staff xx

Small but perfectly formed restaurant with fantastic food and amazing staff. Thank you for a lovely evening.

The best Mexican Food in Brighton!!!

Best Burrito in Brighton, that's for sure! Ordered the fish Burrito which was incredible. Great service and atmosphere. I will be back!!

Marvellous margs and tasty tacos in an intimate cinco de mayo setting. Carlito Burrito has been on my "must visit" list for a good while now. After 5 years of saying I want to go, when a friend and her friend came to visit, I knew it was time. Inside is a level of cool my home decor can only aspire too! Deep teals, a selection of skulls (real, wooden and decorated) and neon lighting adorn the walls. The seating is cushions and chairs If you've had substandard Mexican food (and sadly there plenty, and yes I'm looking at you large chain beginning with a W, I have yet to set foot in a bell of the taco variety), then you need ti visit here to get a taste of it done right. The banana blossom "fish" tacos were simply amazing. Generous portions of banana blossom woth just the right amount of slaw n sauce. The home made tortillas were pretty good too! My friends had very well enjoyed burritos, quesadillas, and beef tacos. Thr only complaint (from my child!) is that the beef tacos weren't spicy! However, it should be noted that this kid is a spice demon, so there probably is a little kick to it. I was particularly pleased to see not only good vegan options, but vegan options that didn't consist of an over processed meat substitution. It makes me think that the proprietor has really thought about the menu and the ingredients. The booze! Well, in my humble opinion chilli salt rims should be law on a margarita, but with mezcal and chilli liquor? Basically marg heaven. This is an all out, hands down recommendation for the Fire and Earth Margarita. Hibiscus soda, fresh lemonade with mint and a hibiscus marg also went down well with the rest of the party. Just a note for those of us with sensory processing challenges. Early on this, place is great, but as with many places, the more people are, the more different noises to process. The music and margs mean that this can get quite lively and intense. And absolutely no issues with the kid getting on with her activities or her questions on the food.

Read a previous review about the Life Changing Fish Taco and Chicken Chorizo Taco. So I ordered both. As someone who doesn’t like fish I can’t tell you how happy I was to find fish so delicious and out of this world. Do yourself a favour! The chicken chorizo tacos were equally delicious. And while you’re at it order a Classic Margarita with Ojo de Tigre Mezcal. OMG. DELISH. we are coming back for more. Tomorrow!!

THE best Mexican meal I have ever had! Owned and ran by a Mexican family - it’s simply wonderful food. So tasty - the flavours beautifully crafted in subtle layers. Outstanding presentation and attention to detail. We shared Nacho-Nacho Man to start, followed by Pulled Pork Taco and Succulent Beef Taco with a Halloumi side, rounded off by yummy Churros with chocolate dipping sauce. We thoroughly enjoyed the home made lemonade and would highly recommend EVERYTHING we ate. Our first visit, but it will not be the last.

This place is just excellent. Very small so great atmosphere, the staff are really friendly and good. The food is superb.

Great food and exceptional customer service. You must try their habanero sauce as well

Really good mexican food and drink in Brighton. Had the fish taco, nachos, and margaritas and it was all outstanding. The waitress was fun and polite. The music was good but bit difficult to keep a conversation over as it was so loud so give 4 stars for the atmosphere

We struggled to find a dog friendly Mexican restaurant in Brighton. After 2 failed attempts, we went to Carlito Burrito. We were really lucky to get a table as it was very busy and many after us, did not. But I’m so glad we did. Everything was unbelievable. The service was great. I think their names were Chloe and Stephanie but they were amazing and so helpful with our dog. The food was also great but the real standout from the day was the cocktails. The margaritas were probably the best I’ve had in quite a long time.
