Halisco

Last week, I lived out my Mexican dream with incredible margaritas and tacos at @haliscobrighton , and I just can’t get enough of this place!

Their Margarita menu is a standout, featuring over nine different options to choose from. Even if margaritas aren’t usually your go-to, you’re sure to find a flavour that catches your eye. I went for the spicy margarita, and it was perfect. My friends raved about the Spicy Mango Marg, which was another favourite at the table

Although we missed out on the much-talked-about #OctoberBest menu, we didn’t hold back and ordered nearly everything off the al a carte menu to share. Some real highlights for us were the Halisco Corn Ribs with Paprika Butter, the Mexican Smashed Potatoes with Jalapeño & Cheese, and the Pulled Pork Quesadilla – my personal favorite. The mix of rich, meaty flavors paired with the pickled cucumber was spot on! While I was surprised by the absence of a chicken dish, I appreciate the ambitious and ever-changing menu, which offers a great balance of fish and vegan options, ensuring there’s something for everyone

The atmosphere here is vibrant, with warm and welcoming service. We even spotted guests enjoying cocktails outside thanks to the mild weather, adding to the lively ambiance. Honestly, there’s nothing not to love about this spot. If you’re into Mexican food, I can’t recommend it enough! If you’re having trouble getting a table here, there’s good news: they’re now serving a bespoke menu at their neighboring pub, @theroyal_sovereign . It’s fantastic to see them spreading their Mexican food magic locally!

Also, did you know they have a sister restaurant across the street, @anakumabrighton , known for its amazing Asian cuisine? Plus, they’ve just opened a new Spanish restaurant on Baker Street called @amaribrighton – be sure to check them out and give them a follow. I can’t wait to visit soon!
