Another amazing visit yesterday, you know this place is good when you do an hour and a bit round trip on your day off just to visit! I had beef taco and nachos and my partner had a burrito all the food was delicious and full of flavour! Please don’t ever close we love you Cartel Cantina!

Great spot... Best mexican food in Bristol. Only downside is it's only outside seating. Hidden just behind brislington retail park... I almost always go for the chimichanga, not been disappointed yet, but the chicken torta burger is a good shout too. Unfortunately only offers delivery through Deliveroo or Uber tho.

This chimichanga I’m eating right now asis out of this world, I’ve not eaten food let alone TexMex this good in ages. It’s the best I’ve had outside of California / Baja. It’s pretty much identical to luxurious street food in America. It’s so packed with flavours and textures plus it’s not greasy either. Mega tasty!! Stellar job - take it steady!!!

Amazing food. I’ve wondered about this place for a while driving into the retail park next door and seen it come up on Uber eats a few times. Last night I fancied something different to our usual take out options and the ratings don’t lie. The chimichangas lured me in, having not seen one for a long time to purchase in the uk. Wow. I cannot fault: huge portions, delicious flavour, incredible beef and crispy coating on the wrap! Lush. My partner had the burrito and was equally impressed. I ordered some nachos on the side thinking they’d do but they were so much more than just a side, a proper star of the show! I’m actually not a huge nachos fan having seen the prices charged in pubs for a bag of Tesco tortilla chips with some dips on, but these were so far removed from that. Homemade, moreish nachos with an array of delicious toppings; I could not stop eating them. Minor criticism was my added extra of sour cream portion. Next time I’ll prob keep a pot in the fridge at home as I’m a piggy and love loads! Thanks again for a banging dinner 😄

Not a restaurant but a hut hidden away serving the best burritos. Low rating for atmosphere due to seating being outside and it was freezing cold but could not fault the food at all. A little gem of a place that gets busy and would definitely go back.

Fantastic food will be returning soon. I took my other half here as a quick dinner on the way out of Bristol, and I'm so glad I did. We picked it up (as their benches were fairly busy), and drove to a nice picnic spot just outside of Bristol. We shared a portion loaded chicken nachos to start off with, and these were awesome so much flavour through the sauces and toppings without over powering the chicken and very satisfying as a shared side. They offer a choice of chilli sauces to go on each meal option, which was handy as my other half isn't great with hot sauces so we chose the medium to meet in the middle of both of our tastes. As my main, I had their chicken torta burger which I can confidently say is the best chicken burger/sandwich I have ever had. It starts off with two crispy bready chicken fillets which were crunchy and well seasoned on the outside yet succulent on the inside, incredible for how quickly they prepared our order. On top of the fillets was pulled chicken which once again was so flavourful with spices. All this in a brioche bun with sauce and chilli slices. I went with the extra hot sauce one down from the hottest available, I'm pretty good with spicy food and this one had plenty of flavour to it with a bit of a kick, I think next time I will go for the hottest but this one was still great. On to the dessert, we shared a portion of churros, which my other half confidently said was the best she's ever had after having many abroad in Spain including the dark chocolate dipping sauce. I'll simply say I was stuffed after plenty of food (great portion sizes for price) but I just wanted more. I've been to many of the burger joints around Bristol and to restaurants who serve Mexican style food, this has been one of the best for both quality, size and price. Cheers guys 👍

Had the chilli cheese burger (without hot sauce) and it was absolutely gorgeous, the beef brisket was especially tasty. Also highly recommend the topped nachos which were incredible. Finally the churros were just perfection. Reminded me of proper authentic churros I used to have in Spain, but the chocolate sauce dip was even better from here! 10/10!

Easy to find on the left corner as you head for the retail park. Good choice of freshly made Mexican dishes with four levels of spice rating. It takes a while to cook but picnic tables are outside to sit and wait, well worth the wait for freshly cooked delicious food presented well. Also had churros because why not, and they were heavenly best I've tasted anywhere in the UK.

Food is always delicious and full of flavour from here. My only criticism is that me and my partner order together, he gets a hot burrito and I get a no spice chimichanga. The orders are always mixed up if one has no spice and no veg, the orders always get mixed up so I end up with hot , and veg. Every time we have ordered the orders have been wrong, I can’t tolerate spice well so I can never eat mine … but my partner gets 2 and there’s no complaints from him 🤣

Not authentic Mexican , every dish tastes very very sweet and it’s not cheap . Not the worst burrito in town but wouldn’t make a trip across to go there. Also ask for nachos on side because with the amount of sauce and cheese they put on by the time you get it home it’s one big pile of mush!

Food was delectable, bar staff and waiting team were so good but I couldn’t help but notice the manager was treating his staff like something stuck to the bottom of his shoe. As a manager myself I don’t find this to be very professional especially so close to Christmas when it’s a busy time of year and a lot of younger people are financially strained. Management should be doing more to increase morale and rather be appreciative of the hardworking staff rather than belittling.

Visited here for a lunch date with my husband during a visit back to my hometown. Checked Tripadvisor reviews and seemed a good choice. Our experience wasn’t that positive. Upon arrival we were told to wait outside to be seen so we did. Completely understand it is small inside so didn’t mind this until we waited over 5 minutes before we were seated by a different waiter than the one who told us to wait. 5 minutes doesn’t seem long but when standing outside (in rain) it definitely felt like it. At one point we were debating whether to move on but being short of time to pick children up from grandparents we waited. The waiter who told us to wait outside looked up twice from the bar area during this time at us and we felt this was rude not to address us. The restaurant was not overly busy and we could see at least a few staff on which sufficed for the area so not really acceptable. The waiter that served us was pleasant enough so we ordered Tacos and a burrito and two drinks. When the food came it was underwhelming - I had two tacos which consisted of two mini tortillas with a dollop of marinated shredded chicken on top - £9.50. There was no sour cream, guacamole or salsa which we’ve always had previously at Mexican restaurants. My husband had the chicken burrito which was more substantial but again there was a lack of condiments - £9.50. We noticed after that the menu stated sour cream, salsa etc as paid extras but the waiter didn’t make us aware of this which we feel would have been appropriate. We also order two grapefruit soda drinks - £3.50 each. Upon getting up to the till to pay we had to wait again because the waiter was talking to a friend outside and no one else came over. I quickly checked the bill and paid. I should have checked closer prior to paying as on the receipt I noticed almost £3 as a 10% service charge. I am not happy to have paid this with the service received that day. I didn’t go back to speak about this as we had to get off to collect our children. I would not recommend and will not return. I have had better Mexican food and service at a festival! I don’t usually leave reviews but in this circumstance thought I’d just let people know prior to visiting what you may encounter.
