Restaurants, Mexican

Given its neon signage and the staff’s long-standing penchant for Hawaiian shirts, the Basement has never been a byword for subtlety and sophistication, but instead is a slightly ironic slice of Miami teleported into a Scottish cellar. It’s clearly a…

Restaurants on St Stephen Street come and go, but 20 years after Fiona MacRae opened her rustic basement cantina, the eponymous blue bird is still sitting perkily on his perch outside. It’s a simple, dark-painted wee place with a clutter of wooden…

You have to climb stairs above a coffee shop to get to Nachos, a surprisingly large space adorned with colourful murals of pyramids, banana trees and exotic dancers. The food is on another level too, with Nacho Servese cooking up something more like…

Pinto is fast food, but it’s an example of how fast doesn’t have to mean junk. You line up at a counter to choose from a short, simple list of tasty and relatively healthy fillings, decide whether you want yours wrapped in a burrito, piled into tacos…

Bibi’s Cantina feels like a friendly, casual neighbourhood bistro geared towards passing Partick and Broomhill locals, but with only 35 covers and some terrific online reviews, getting a table may require a little planning (or at least a phone call).

Blending Mexican and Mediterranean cuisine, El Peyote presents deliciously authentic cuisine in a cosy yet chic setting. In Kingston, the cocktail lounge at El Peyote serves up fresh and exotic cocktails. Innovative dishes on the fusion menu include…

Pancho’s is a cavernous place – it seats 160 but with high ceilings and big windows onto Bell Street, it feels even bigger than it is. Unsurprisingly it’s at its best when busy, with an atmosphere ramped up by office parties, groups of conference…

According to its website, Taco Mazama is ‘Glasgow’s first Californian style burrito bar and taqueria’, and there’s a distinct street-food feel to the burritos, quesadillas, tacos and salads, all assembled before your eyes as they would be on a mobile…

This is authentic US-style Mexican food. The menu is not vast but the freshness of the food makes this a must-visit to either of their branches. On offer are burritos, chillis, nachos, tacos and quesadillas – a grilled cheese 'sandwich' of tortillas…

At this simple Thistle Street diner they can get a dish of flaming fajitas from chef to customer in about 15 seconds. That tells you quite a lot about the size of the place, the agility of the staff and the general chutzpah – which is nothing less than…

London's original Mexican cantina, Cafe Pacifico in Covent Garden has been a quality venue for many parties and special events over the last 27 years, serving contemporary and classic Mexican dishes alongside superb margaritas, tequilas and…
