    Las Iguanas - Trio of Tacos (Fish)

    Came here on opening day of Friars Walk and I'm pleasantly surprised given that they're new, I…read moreexpected a few more hiccups. ~ Atmosphere: I haven't been to any other Las Iguanas location to compare, but I quite like the atmosphere here. It's trendy with really colourful decor that matches the overall theme of the restaurant. The only downside is that the seating arrangement is pretty crowded. ~ Customer Service: A huge upside! All the staff here were absolutely wonderful. Our waiter did get an order wrong, but it's fine since it was just his first day on the job and the staff were really accommodating through getting the order right and giving the wrong version for free! It was a bit of a wait for our food as well, but again this can be attributed to the restaurant being massively full on opening day. I'm sure that all those hiccups would be smoothed out in the future after the staff get a bit more experience under their belt. ~ Food: The food was very impressive and lovely altogether. I thought that it would be a overpriced first coming in, but the prices were actually decent for the portion sizes. I ordered a trio of 3 fish tacos off their lunch menu that had smaller portions and cheaper prices with a side of sweet potato fries. All of it was so delicious and the fish was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of smokey flavour. --- Given that this location just opened, I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed. If I come back in the future when the staff has more experience and get the same level of food quality, I'd be happy to bump my review to 5 stars.

    I have had two such differing experiences that it should just about average out as a 3 star review,…read moreluckily you can't have half stars... The first time I visited here was last winter and lordy lord was it freezing! It was below 10 degrees outside and about minus 4 inside. It felt like the air conditioning was stuck on full blast, I don't remember the food/service or anything as I wanted to bolt out of there as quick as possible. The last time was at Valentines with my lovely and was a lot better, especially warmth wise. We were met by a compere that had the cheek to say there may not be any tables available, after letting him know that over half the restaurant was empty I wouldn't think that was a problem. No one likes to be made to look silly and he wasn't very friendly after that. That was the last problem with unfriendly staff as our water was so delightful. He did really make our day with his upbeat personality and we ended up having a good laugh with him. I do believe that this Chiquito does take aways too, which includes the full menu. I'm not sure the Cardiff Centre one does that, don't quote me on that though.

    As a massive fan of Mexican food, the arrival of Chiquito in Cardiff was something of an exciting…read moreprospect for myself. Located at the opposite end of the Red Dragon Centre's car park, the restaurant itself is in a distinctive looking building, with excellent furnishing inside and out. During the evenings, a time i'd recommend eating more so than lunch time, there's a vibrant and family orientated atmosphere. Once seated, the clean cut, contemporary surroundings aren't really in character with how one would imagine a Mexican restaurant, although it is very pleasant. The menu itself is stocked full of 'Mexican' dishes, although typically these consist of the more Westernised meals like fajitas and nachos, rather than genuinely authentic Mexican cuisine. Perfectly edible and tasty, the meals aren't anything to write home about. I do enjoy Mexican food particularly, but I wouldn't rank this as much higher than anything I could prepare for myself at home. Who knows, maybe i'm just a great chef.

    Parc Pantry hasn't been around for very long but it's already topping the list of where to eat in…read moreNewport. The owner of this small cafe/deli is one of the many people running the operations behind the display counter. As you walk in the shop, you first see a little shop that sells cards and trinkets. In the far end is the display case and counter where you can order food. The other half of the restaurant is the dining area, where the food is brought to your table. The decor of this place is wonderful - quaint country cottage style theme with bright colours, simple wooden furnishing, while maintaining minimalism. Great place for a bunch of girls to meet for brunch (as was most of the clientele when we arrived for brunch before we headed out to go castle hunting for the day. The food selections are limited to sandwiches and salads as it is a cafe but they do a great job with the menu. We had: - two capuccinos - one chorizo and chicken wrap: tasted mexican and was recommended by the owner - one breakfast toastie: came with a delicious salsa The total was about 13 quid and the atmosphere makes you not want to leave. Also they have free wifi. They close at 5pm so it's not a place to have dinner. If I lived in Newport, I'd definitely be here all the time.

    Excellent little cafe/ restaurant. Great selection of food and drinks and shop items…read more Has a really cosy feel, and is finished in very modern furniture and decor. Love this place!
