Death By Tacos in Cheshire West and Chester

Death by Taco was highly recommended to us and it was everything we thought and hoped it would be. The food was outstanding. So tasty. As for the cocktails they hit the spot too. I had the mango margarita with salt and chilli around the glass, it was to die for. Thank you for finding space for us on a busy night.

We went here a few weeks back after seeing multiple videos and posts online about the phat platters. I couldn’t wait to try it out myself. The food was absolutely incredible and the flavours were amazing!! We tried the Birria tacos and one of the phat platters and I’m already craving them again! The service was great and the staff were very friendly. Would highly recommend it here!

We’ve been wanting to eat her for SO long but we’re three hours away. The best tacos we’ve ever had 🌮 My partner had the beef birria and I had the vegetarian white bean tacos and they were incredible. Great portion sizes, freshly made and delicious. The waiter who served us was amazing too. I asked him about an alcohol I didn’t recognise on the menu, he described it to me and discussed the difference between that rum and other white rums which was really interesting.

Just been here, been looking at it for months knowing we were spending the weekend in Chester. The place is incredible, everything from the food, the drinks, the service and atmosphere is just amazing. Everything I love rolled into one. So unique and easily the best place in Chester. P.S the memes in the men’s toilets had me howling!

Food was not up to standard I expected beef tacos not just salty but you would have been better eating salt. I told staff and reply was well it is beef stock and that's salty I will tell the chef Totally unacceptable from lack lustre staff I wouldn't recommend to any one Management of premises welcome to contact me at anytime Totally dissatisfied

Delicious! Happy Hour Tuesdays!

Perhaps a tiny bit more expensive than I'd like but wonderful atmosphere, it was like stepping back into the 2010s for me. Really friendly staff and some honey wings to die for.

Awesome food. Excellent service. Dodgy music 😂👍🏻.

I had the beef tacos and they were delicious. They arrived after 5 minutes. The other members of the party’s arrived after 15 minutes of ordering, in which they ordered the deep fried pork belly. The table was a barrel which was very uncomfortable to sit at, however that’s the only negative about the experience. Would recommend and go again!

Great food and friendly atmosphere. Plus 80s and 90s music you won't here anywhere else - period. I never imagined I would eat in public with hardcore US punk playing in the background in the 2020s. Open in Manchester and we will be there.

We loved going to Death by Taco's in its original venue (the old market) but unfortunately as other reviews have mentioned, is seems to have gone down hill since moving. Our last couple of meals there haven't been good at all, our most recent was particularly disappointing, the tacos literally came within a minute of us ordering, they were cold and had the texture of carboard, it felt like they'd been pre-made and left out. The tacos from Chiquito's are better and that's saying something! It's a shame as this place used to be good but we wont be going back until it improves.

One of the best dining experiences. The atmosphere is very unique and lived the skateboards and stickers all over. The menu had a good choice. Attempted the chicken and beef tacos along with butter chicken wings and nachos with guacamole. All the dishes were amazing and the stomachs were more than full. The staff is super friendly and we had a pleasant lunch. If it’s a busy time you might have to wait a while as there’s limited space therefore, a booking is recommended, specially on Sundays.

Beef birria one of the nicest things I’ve ever tasted! Amazing! Nachos really nice. Decent price, great music and nice staff also 💪

Tacos were great, music was great & staff was great. A cool place to eat & drink - Those who enjoy rock music will definitely enjoy.

Been wanting to come along for quite a while, and I decided to come in yesterday for a meal with a friend. We ordered the chicken tacos, birria, veggie nachos, the carne fries, along with two of the frozen cocktails (strawb daquiri and pina colada). The atmosphere and service were good but the food sadly let down. The Birria was greasy (which I get to an extent) but it was to an extent where it notably detracted from the meal as all you could really taste was the oiliness. Whilst the chicken was nicer it wasn't the most flavourful. The nachos were tasty but the carne fries were the biggest letdown. Chewiest steak I’ve ever had in a restaurant. Tried to get through two pieces and had to spit both out as they were far too chewy (not sure if this was the cut of meat, the thickness of the cut, or if it was cut with the grain) but it left me very disappointed. The cocktails were nice but the pina colada blew the daquiri out the water. Open to coming back again given how great the atmosphere was, along with the good service, but the food sadly wasn't up to scratch (especially at £12 for two Birria tacos).

Planned to visit and so glad we did! The atmosphere is a 10/10. We tried the beef tacos, chicken tacos and the steak fries. So much flavour, the beef tacos were great and the chicken tacos felt nice and refreshing. The steak was cooked perfectly on the fries! My partner said the margaritas were great. Will definitely be back to give other items a try! If you like a relaxed, good music atmosphere with good food, quick service then this is definitely worth a visit!

Visited on our trip to Chester and it did not disappoint. It was busy on Wednesday evening and that is because the food and drinks are epic. I ordered a class margarita which was delicious we ordered had two tacos each and the padron peppers and left full! Portions are great and I do want to shout out the sweet potato taco which was absolutely amazing!

Excellent tocos and staff really lovely

Food delicious, decor perfect, music choice outstanding

Called in on a whim with my partner, we were seated very quickly, the guy serving us was great and the food was very quick but sadly the beef tacos were super greasy and the cheese was burned so I only managed a single bite. My partners fish tacos were much nicer but still not great. They did take the beef tacos off the bill which was appreciated. The atmosphere was fantastic at least. Hoping it was just an unlucky experience and would probably give them another try if I visit Chester again.

Ate here today with a mate from work. Soundtrack banging, pork with pineapple ketchup was out of this world, wings were pure finger licking, birria tacos were immense. Sound lads serving, can't fault it. Back soon!

Best tacos in Chester would 100% recommend

These tacos genuinely haunt me in my dreams. They are the best tacos I have ever had in my life. All the food here is incredible we drive from Birmingham for it. Best food ever 😋 cocktails are fantastic too as are the wings. Nothing on this menu is bad basically you cannot go wrong. Carne asada tacos are the bestttttt.

Food was fast coming out, however this is not a traditional taco establishment, I ordered beef tacos, it came with far too much cheese (not a sprickling like I was expecting) which laid heavily in my stomach, the cheese (which I belive was nacho cheese from a ready made container) and I left the restaurant needing to take a antihistamine. Am allergic to fish so either they have not got a purple allergy board (by law i think they need one) or it was something else effecting me. This place needs to use a better cheeses, put seasoning on their steaks (or leave a selection on the table)

Food was absolutely delicious, staff helpful and recommend other places. Great environment and very good tunes

Big vibes at DBT, had their tender stem broccoli special of the day and it was insanely good, the fries are cooked to perfection, staff are super friendly, music is amazing.

The best tacos around! It’s always our first choice of places to eat, even though we have to travel a bit to get there. From the food, to the service to the decor & choice of music - it’s all ace! Very good value for money and absolutely beautiful!

Came to Chester for 4 days for my birthday & ate here 2 of them... Love me some Mexican food. Best tacos I've had so far & the burritos were amazing. Also, got free shots for my birthday.

Amazing tacos and drinks. Highly recommend.

Walk ins only swiftly shown to a table no waiting. This place has such a quick turnover, staff are great! Food really tasty and great price! Only thing that let it down was our steak and chips was absolutely smothered with far too much chim churri literally smothered kind of ruined the meal. Also the venues choice of music would not be too everyone's taste. Rock/metal.

So we went there excited about Tacos. We left there bitterly disappointed - stale taco breads, dry/burnt toppings or over dauced to disguise poor quality product, servers unfriendly - probably too cool for school - only reason service is 2 star instead of 1 is the food was served fast - which to me means that the toppings are reheated on order - rather than fresh / Chester has some amazing places to eat this isnt one!

Amazing experience and excellent food highly recommend the birria tacos and the chicherron, such a cool place and very busy for good reason well worth waiting for even in the rain

Excellent staff place and food. Tequila choices are fab. Tacos were so tasty. Amazing and so glad I went. We will travel again to visit.

Absolutely superb scran. The guys there know how to make great flavour combos. We had the special which was chorizo and pork belly, and a beef birria. Both were exceptional, and you wouldn’t be disappointed if you went!

Cool spot with great service and delicious food. Highly recommend

Some of the best food I've ever eaten in my entire life

We went here on a Wednesday evening. We were seated quickly and they took our order quickly. There were 2 of us and we ordered the Valentina Honey Butter wings, the Chicken Macha tacos and the plain fries. On a Wednesday night, there is a special offer with the wings. Each dish arrived as it was ready rather than all together but that didn't bother us. Everything was delicious. We werent expecting much from the "plain fries" but they were anything but plain. The seasoning on them made them moreish. We really enjoyed both the food and the restaurant vibe. We're not from Chester but would definitely recommend and will return on our next Chester visit.

Been a couple of times but noted they like to push political views on customers i.e F the tories. Trying to be all hip and cool for the youngsters who know nothing about politics. Just totally unnecessary and pushing customers away. Also fairly small portions for price you pay.

If I could give a higher rating than 5 stars I would. Awesome tacos and service was fantastic!

10/10 had brunch here today, went home and felt like I didn’t even want to make dinner because I knew it wouldn’t be as nice as this.

Great food, service and atmosphere! 🌮

Great food, service & atmosphere. Wanted to visit for a while. Today I had the chance!

Food is banging, really nice soft beef in the tacos, cocktails are heavy, especially the mangorhita, loud metal/rock music, cool vibe

Tacos here are really tasty and flavourful. However, they are not birria tacos.

Not rushing to go back. The menu on the website was not the one we were presenting with up arriving. The vegan option was basically a humongous slop.

Brilliant service and class food, food came quickly and was brilliant, service was quick and friendly too a really nice experience.

Sick gaff. 100% top tier experience. Food bangin, drinks mint. Punk and Metal playlist, skateboards on the wall, all-round great place and I can't wait to go back

Been here a couple of times now. Once with my young children: the staff were really friendly and offered them toys to play with. Both times the food was spot on, really tasty tacos with some amazing flavours. They also have a great selection of hot sauces for you to try.

Been in a few times and the food is always 10/10, staff are class and service is always fab!

Food was lovely, Service came very quick, staff were very friendly and kept on top of our table ensuring we had a good visit. Music set the vibe for the place very nicely, it's an alternative themed place. 100% would come again XD

Third best beef curtains I've ate since moving to chester and the nest tacos nice one boys

Been twice now and both times the food was fantastic, great cocktails as well!

Amazing place! Great tacos and awesome music! Highly recommend 🖤

Really cool bar with good Mexican food. Didn’t like the tacos (sloppy, too greasy, and meat was dry) but the nachos, wings and chorizo mac and cheese was amazing! Wings fell off the bone and had a perfect level of spice. The music and overall vibe of the place is great. Seats are very close together and it was really difficult to get in and out. Every time the server came over to us and when we used the bathroom the couple next to us had to stand up to let us out which was a bit awks! Service is very very fast! We were in and out in 50 mins.

The food was soo good! The service was good and extremely quick! Would definately reccomend

AMAZING food! Will defo go again! Great service too ✌️

Incredible tacos. Don't know what the other people talking about underwhelming food are on about. I would come back to Chester purely for those tacos. Great service, gorgeous cocktails. Wish I could've eaten more. Beef tacos with the dipping consommé was the stand out. Cheers guys.

Website says they stop serving food at 9pm turned up at 7pm and food has stopped

Always a good sign when there's a queue! Didn't have to wait long for a table though. We had the guacamole nachos, lamb tacos and braised short rib tacos. All very tasty and good sized portions. Cool place, value for money, but music a bit overpowering in my opinion.

Amazing food in a great atmosphere. The decor of the restaurant is first class. Staff are really good and super friendly.

Delicious platter shared between 5 of us, only came to £6 each total price, food was delicious and the waiter was friendly but also professional

Going to start by saying any place that blasts Rock and Metal music, usually uses that as their gimmick, and the food and drink that follows is either over-priced, sub par in quality, or both. That is not the case with place. Welcomed by the staff with the warmest of welcomes (despite people thinking us metalheads are unsociables -_-) and the food was OUTSTANDING compared to its low price tag, and the cocktails followed suite. The metal music wasn't their gimmick: it was the icing on the metal cake. Always great to see Mr Mitch again too 🤘

Different in all the right ways. A cool, alternative, dark, rock bar to eat Tacos in, what's not to like. Food was flavoursome, service was friendly and the decor very on brand for the place. Not everyone will love it but everyone should give it a go.

Great meal, tacos were boss, staff were great, drinks flowed nicely tacos went down eagerly. Defo coming back for more

Food was so good we the guy serving drinks was so nice knew his stuff really good atmosphere and the cocktail my partner had Saturday savoir was yummy..definitely be going next time we are in chester..

Really cool atmosphere, super friendly staff and the tacos were insanely good! Happened upon this place by chance and I'm so happy I did. Plus I was there for Taco Tuesday and they had ncie deals.

I always come here after visiting Cheshire oaks and I feel like this place has lost its way a little and I know that the cost of living has had an effect of most businesses, but dropping standards is never the best option. Gone are the days of ghost chilli tacos and more of what the mass public want. The mass public are boring and uninspired, just like death by tacos food. Cool bar though and great music.

I was really looking forward to trying this place as I’d seen it on Instagram but I found the food very underwhelming. The chicken Macha taco did not have a nice flavour and it was a very tiny portion. The screamo music was a bit much for a Sunday afternoon. I just found it a bit overrated and I’ve experienced much better Mexican food elsewhere. Prob wouldn’t go back.

Cool place, great food! loved it.

The valentina wings are possibly the best things i have ever tasted, lovely vibe in here with amazing music. Staff are so lovely and welcoming and all the food is heavenly. Would highly recommend to locals and anyone passing through if you're looking for some godly food and a super warm and friendly environment. Keep it up DBT x

ABSOLUTELY NUTS! Staff were so amazing, even with an absolutely packed house! A Friday night with great vibes, great food. They really know what they are doing!!!

We were recommended to come here, and we absolutely loved it, great atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing food, reasonably priced. Highly recommend.

Came here after a day at the zoo as I really wanted to try this place. We were lucky to try the new menu and we both loved it. I had the birria tacos, big enough to fill you up and were made really well, we also had the carne fries and the steak just melted in your mouth. Big selection of sauces and the staff were all really friendly and helpful. Amazing cocktail and music, love the vibe of this place

Amazing place to eat. Best tacos I’ve ever eaten in my life and my dog was welcomed by the wonderful team there. Thanks for having us!

We went for taco Tuesday and left obsessed! 2 for £12 tacos was a great deal, we had wings as well and that was enough to fill up on. Also had a £6 margarita which was great too. The atmosphere is very chill and the staff are very friendly and chatty. Will definitely be back for taco Tuesday!

BEST TACOS IN TOWN! Amazing food - the wings and shrimp tacos are a fave! Always something new to try on the menu - we’ve been 5 times and can’t wait to go again already! The margs are ace too!!!!

These lads know what they are doing!

Incredibly overpriced. Food was rubbish. Really mean staff. Great music though.

Staff were not as cool as they should be. The food was worth the hassle. Please, it's not hard to be polite and serve customers well.

Lively place, music wasn't always to my taste but the food certainly was!!

Heard this place was all about the food and the music so thought I'd try it out. They've got Misfits logos everywhere and they sell"Fiend lager" so must play good tunes right? Anyway they'd ran out of wings so ended up having two tiny burnt quesadillas which cost £12. And they played Nickleback.

Great service, great tunes and the best wings.

Tacos were delicious, the margaritas are great. Go go go

My Girlfriend and I popped in for a spur of the moment lunch and we were first curious by the sound of Punk and Metal coming from somewhere nearby and noticed the place, had a look and carried on walking commenting on the music and bopping along. After not fancying anything else to eat, we came back, gave it a go and the first thing we noticed was the vibrant yet super easy going atmosphere. We also enjoyed the familiar music but after all, we came for the food and the food was brilliant. It was something a little different to the mundane after being stuck in a rut for weeks and it's great to give a new place a go and love it as soon you sit down. Yeah, I wore my Loop Earplugs but I wanted to take it all in and enjoy the place. Overall the whole experience was a spur of the moment day out and everything experienced was fabulous so in our eyes it was an all out success. We will absolutely be coming again the next time we're in Chester. The Wings were mint. Keep at it!

Really rude and almost confrontational when you ring to ask about food allergies! Super weird and unnecessary

We went on Wednesday evening as they were advertising £6 wings 'all night' on their Instagram. We travelled from the Wirral to Chester and arrived at 8:30pm just to be told that the kitchen is closed and they're only serving drinks. I know kitchens usually close at 9pm, but I think we arrived at a respectful time and I feel slightly misled as it was advertised as 'all night'. Ended up going to Nandos instead lol which we could've gone to on the Wirral.

Great tacos, great staff and great atmosphere. I'll definitely go back!

What a place, the best Mexican food I've had outside of Mexico. They take the best things from Mexico and add the best things from UK, cool vibe, great drinks, just awesome.

Tasty food and great cocktails. Service was fab too.

Stupid place. My friends and I were a group of 7 and they had a table for six available and we asked if we could please add on a chair and they denied and split us up. The food was incredibly overpriced for the taste and quality. The staff members took their time taking our order. There really was no need to split us up when we could’ve just added on a chair. Ruined our whole experience and the food was below mediocre too

Need more places like this in Birmingham absolutely insane.

I'll start with the bad. Not enough seating. But the place is so popular it's to be expected. Food is fantastic, for vegan, spicy and none spicy lovers. The pricing can be high, so best going on Tuesdays for the discount. The menu and recipes change a lot, so if going for repeat visits don't expect the same things to taste / be the same but everything they serve will be loved. Service is quick and it's got a great rock vibe. Parking can be difficult and will have to pay. But it's a short walk from the car park. It's the best taco place around.

Great little spot food was amazing staff helpfully and couldn't do enough for you even with a full busy restaurant great atmosphere 👏

Easily the best place to eat in Chester, with not only top quality Mexican food on offer but at a consistently top notch level too, along with a chilled 'edgy' vibe and laidback yet passionate & knowledgeable staff. I never shut up recommending this place to anyone who will listen.

I had been to death by taco on multiple occasions when they were in the old market and had loved it! I was really excited to when I heard that they were moving to Watergate Street. After numerous times trying to get in, last night we finally managed to get a table. Music was great, service was impeccable and the general vibe was right up my street, I have to say however I was disappointed with the food compared to the old market days. We had a quesadilla and a pork taco and both were over cooked and extremely oily. I'll put it down to being unlucky and will definitely try again another time as the staff and management a doing a great job!

Absolutely Amazing food, great atmosphere & lovely staff.

The food is RIDICULOUSLY good. I look forward to any time visiting here because their specials are great and the menu is always adapting and getting better and better. The space is really cool and I'm so so glad a rocker/emo/punk style space is around to enjoy. Big love!

Really great find in Chester - amazingly fresh food and lovely cocktail list. Also really dog friendly, our staffie really enjoyed the place and found the atmosphere perfect for a little doggie snooze (but she likes loud music!)

Incredible food/staff/music! Will be back again and again.

Delicious tacos and good choice of drinks, enjoyed the mango margarita and loved the music! Staff very friendly
