Repeatedly named the best Mexican/burrito spot in Brighton, beating rival La Choza on flavour, with particular love for the Hallouminati beer-battered halloumi wrap, the chorizo burrito and the margaritas. Reasonably priced, kid-friendly and available on UberEats; the only pushback is that it's not the most 'traditional' Mexican food around.
