Caram Bada Cantina

A really lovely evening at @carambada_cantina a relaxed Mexican restaurant tucked away near Fiveways in Brighton. The menu may be small but it’s definitely mighty, with a selection of small plates, burritos and tacos and naturally, we pretty much ordered the whole menu because it would have been rude not to! 😂

Honestly, we really enjoyed every single dish. Everything was packed with flavour, with classic Mexican dishes done really well and made fresh. The AL PASTOR TACOS were the highlight for me, seriously delicious! 🌮 Corn tortillas, achiote pork, mango habanero & pineapple salsa and chipotle mayo… such a good combination. The Birria was another standout, along with the nachos and burrito… so basically, the whole feast was a winner!

And then there were the cocktails 🍹 I made my way through the margarita list (as you do!) and my favourite was the Hot Honey Peach Margarita, recommended by one of the lovely team. It was absolutely delicious, the perfect balance of sweet, spicy and refreshing, dangerously drinkable!

Overall, I really enjoyed it here. It’s away from the hustle and bustle of central Brighton, making it a lovely spot for a relaxed meal. There’s also cute outdoor seating underneath their new pagoda, which adds to the laidback vibe. If you love Mexican food, Caram Bada is definitely worth a visit! I’ll certainly be heading back 🌮
