I'm…read moreAmerican, and I'd be thrilled with tacos this good back in my home country, so finding them in the UK is particularly special. I've never had a bad bite here. They do everything right. Barrio Comida is a small restaurant built in what appears to be an old shipping container by the river. They have seating for about 25 people in their cute, colourful shack, but you can always take your food to go. They have a regular menu as well as some unique specials, but whatever you order is guaranteed to be fresh and fabulous, with flavours that simply can't be found anywhere else in town. This does not compare to any other local restaurant claiming to do Mexican or Latin American food. This is the real stuff. If you don't want alcohol, start with an agua fresca - the mango and lime was juicy and delightful, tasting just like fresh fruit. The chips and guacamole are unmissable - incredibly fresh avocados, and crisp 100% corn tortilla chips (I am not calling them crisps in this instance.) The tacos come out as they're ready, so you may eat at a different time than your dining companions, but also the tacos will be fresh to death. The oxcheek (cabeza) is my particular favourite, with incredibly tender and flavourful meat topped with tangy feta. The ensanada is made of gloriously crispy fried fish and copious amounts of slaw, and the carne asada is absolutely gorgeous steak. I've tried nearly all the tacos over the months but those are my favourites. All the tortillas are 100% corn and fresh made (as they should be, none of this flour tortilla nonsense), and the menu is safe for gluten-free folks except the fried fish taco and one of the salsas. Tacos range from £2.50-£3.50 and 3 fill me up, but hungry boys usually get 4. All hail Barrio Comida, may they never leave us. I always hear loads of American accents from the patrons when I come - my countrymen who crave wonderful, fresh, Mexican food flock here and surely aren't disappointed.

We were visiting Blackpool and had a wonderful day in the town. Seeing that Las Iguanas catered to…read morevegetarians and vegans, and having eaten at the chain in London a few years earlier, we were very excited to finally get some great food (finding vegan food had been hard for us). We walked in, the place was packed, there was only two servers for what was easily 20-25 tables. We ordered, then the waitress brings out our food. We ordered a jackfruit burrito type of thing and a butternut squash bowl. The squash bowl was bland, unflavored, but not terrible. The jackfruit burrito on the other hand....Slimy, oddly sweet, turned the entire thing into a mushy, gelatinous, disgusting mess. It was in giant, unbite-able chunks, and oozed mucus like juice onto the rest of the food. The beans in the burrito were thinly smeared onto the side of it, and it was overall a very unsatisfying meal. I am a traveler and I will eat just about anything, even if it's not the most appetizing, but I could not eat this burrito. I know sometimes vegan food is hard to cook, but if their basic staples (beans, rice, salsa) were unflavorful, I can't imagine the meat dishes were much better.

There are plenty of places to try food on Call Lane so why choose Neon Cactus....here is why…read more.... Their Feast Menu!!! £10.95 each and food which delights and warms the Soul! Starts with Nachos- chilli beef & chorizo on one portion and some kind of squash stew on the other. Both very tasty toppings and a very satisfying portion Followed by Tacos- chicken tinga, and again the squash stew. Lovely soft tacos with just the right topping balance and very tasty! Followed by Enchilada-chilli beef & chorizo- could this get anymore flavoursome Topped off with Fajita of North yorks belly pork with cumin seed crackling. OMG- it was a taste sensation, a party in my mouth and every other exclamation you can come out with while swooning over the deliciousness presented at Neon cactus. For the £10.95 a head I defy you to find tastier food on Call Lane! The setting is more suited to a bar hence I haven't given 5 stars- its a bit dark with candle-light being the predominant lighting, the service is a bit staggered with the bar being dealt with also but all in all we were happy with the food and the service was quite attentive enough for us. 2 beers and 2 soft drinks brought the bill to £25-ish and we didn't hesitate to leave the remainder of the £30 for a tip. Give it a try- your taste buds will thank you for it!!

It's not often that I get out and get a few tipples down me...

I can't speak for what it's like late on a weekend night, being as I tend to avoid the copious crowds in favour of a quieter spot generally, but early on a Friday night the place was already buzzing. Not too busy that you couldn't get to the bar, but not so quiet you felt wrong for drinking and having a bit of a party. I love the stylings, with the curiosities and wooden back bar shelves, and any bar that devotes itself to tequila is a happy place for me. This wouldn't have been the case previously, but I've something of a new affection for margaritas and shots of tequila with the green stuff to chase. (I still can't remember what it's called, but it's lime-y, chilli and delicious.) The array of cocktails available for the special cocktail week were all great, all tequila based, and all very tempting. Being early I requested a longer drink, and that was what I was given - a Pineapple something (forgive the memory loss) and it was really tasty. Very tequila-y still, but a good balance of pineapple, little pepper (?) flakes, and tequila. I must say, I'm a fan. And I'm still fondly looking forward to coming back for some more Mexican delights, as the food here is marvellous. It ticks all the boxes: good bar staff, good drinks, good food, good décor. Get down for good times!

You won't normally find me in a chain restaurant but Las Iguanus always delivers really great food…read moreand is an ideal choice for groups of people due to the variety on the menu. The happy hour 2 for 1 cocktails after work are certainly appealing too! Las Iguanus offers authentic Southern American food, catering well for vegans and vegetarians, and with the option of tapas style dishes which I personally love as I'm often indecisive and a bit greedy with eyes bigger than my belly. On my latest visit however I went for the vegetable chilli which was lovely....just the right amount of spice and a generous portion although a bit too much rice in my opinion. My friend and I took advantage of happy hour and had a Mango Collins which was simple but delicious and refreshing. The layout of the restaurant seems to work okay but the table we were sat at had a constant thoroughfare of people passing by which was a little frustrating. One lady even walked past so fast that she knocked my drink over....luckily my reflexes were on fire and I saved my beloved alcohol as well as my outfit! The service again was okay but you could tell they were very busy and so not as attentive as other restaurants I've eaten in.

Livin la vida loca. I do like Mexican food, that obviously had something to do with the transformation. But just being in Las Iguanas, which has real personality in not only its decor but the staff too, brightened me up and got me ready for the weekend. It's about a tenner for a decent main, which comes in a very hearty portion and as I requested, particularly spicy. It's not just Mexican, there are all sorts of latin american dishes from Brazil to Chile and back again via Argentina and the rest. There's something for everyone. Red and green should never be seen, except in Las Iguanas.

I love a sour cocktail, and had a paloma, they were tasty, but there was definitely more ice than liquid! The menu was explained to us (it's a pretty clear menu, and I have, you know, eaten outside my own house before) We were sat on a smaller than average table, which I didn't think was a problem until I saw how the dishes were served for three out of four of us. We'd ordered the xinxim, gorgeous combo of chicken and crayfish in a mild, creamy, coconutty sauce with rice and green beans. And man, do I feel sorry for the poor sod washing up! It was pretty, but not practical, especially when they didn't remove the dishes from our starters straight away! Tasty, but I felt like I would smash a pot with clumsy elbows! I'd go again, but not out of happy hour! And special requests can be awkward, but if they aren't going to be followed through with, I'd really rather they would just say!

Don't get me wrong I like Barburrito but I can't get excited about it. One day it will become the British equivalent, maybe in slightly higher esteem, of that of Taco Bell in the United States! Sorry!

Well, it couldn't be more apt to say, 'Meh. I've experienced better.' It was fine. There wasn't…read moreanything drastically wrong with the place, but it really wasn't about to set my world on fire. I like that they're a fast food company with a bit of a conscience - the wall declared there's no 'funny' stuff in the food, but that doesn't mean it was a rollickingly good burrito, and no amounts of cute donkey pictures will change that. The service from the counter was middling - one of the girls, at the lower end, was lovely, the other couldn't have cared less. And, I imagine wrapping burritos isn't a wildly interesting thing to do, but a small smile rather than a sigh would have been nice. If you know Subway, or similar outlets, you'll know the system. Pick your base product, pick your filling, pick your salad and accoutrements. I went for a basic burrito with pulled pork, and whilst that was fine, it wasn't great. The rice was a little much and the rest a little less - I couldn't really taste the cheese. And the pork had been sat there a while, so was inevitably a little dry around the edges from the hot plate. I ate in, for convenience since it was so cold out, but couldn't have stayed more than 10 minutes - it's not atmospheric. Everything was fine, and I'd potentially come back for food in a rush, but the £9 (or there abouts) for fast food didn't seem worth it to me. I've definitely had better Mexican elsewhere in Leeds! Still. Better than some other places, and much less 'processed' fillings.

For around £15 you can attack the buffet as often as you wish selecting from a great range of freshly cooked dishes from around the globe. You DO have a time slot so there is a limit to the amount you can stuff into your face but there is ample time to get your fill. On the minus side (but in common with many eateries) drinking is expensive, we paid around £14 for a bottle of wine to save the £4 per glass price tag. In the main dishes were clearly labelled with allergy advice and the staff were uber keen to advise and assist where there was any doubt.

Situated near the Chevin in some beautiful countryside, the Cheerful Chilli is a relaxed and cosy place. The food isn't gourmet but the quality definitely doesn't suffer for that. Rather, it seems as if they've decided to do fairly simple meals and do them really well. The atmosphere is casual and friendly, a bit like walking into a huge old stone-flagged kitchen, brightened up by lovely flowers on all the tables. It's the best of casual dining: unpretentious but attractive, service relaxed but not slow, and staff in T-shirts with friendly smiles and good knowledge of the food. Oh yes, the food. Hoo boy. I'm still so full it's actually hard to think about it. Since we were in a group of six, we decided to go for the 'Banquet' - a selection of starters, mains and desserts from the menu. It was £18.50 and wow... it was definitely value for money. We had a 'pre-starter' meze of two giant plates of couscous, halloumi, falafel, houmous, bread, olives and salad, which really could have been a generous starter on its own. But oh no, there were starters too: potato wedges with cheese, corn cakes with sweet chilli, nachos, and goat's cheese tart. All delicious. To be honest, at this point we could have left satisfied - it felt like we'd had a full meal already! But then the mains arrived: vegetable fajitas, kerala curry, enchiladas, roasted veg and pizza. Again everything was delicious - possibly the only weak point was the pizza which I think was homemade but had been a bit overdone which left it tasting a little like an oven pizza. But everything else was great. Nothing fancy: it was all stuff I could make at home, but just.... better. Hugely flavoursome in a way I can never quite get my dishes to be, and presented beautifully. So on to the desserts! We got wedges of the chocolate truffle cake (rich and divine), the cheesecake (maybe a little creamy for my taste but lovely fruit) and the chocolate nemesis (dark, fudgy, amazing). And what was maybe even better: a huge bowl of vanilla ice cream which was hands down the best ice cream I've ever had. I asked them where they got it and they said they make it themselves. I wonder if they'd consider delivering in bulk...? I couldn't quite believe that we were only paying £18.50 for a lovely meal that could keep you full for days, but yes, it was true. You can bring your own booze too, and they didn't charge corkage - champion! The reasonable-ness just continued with my friend being charged just 70p for the 7-up she ordered: smallest restaurant markup ever? And so we rolled home, vowing to return. I'm already planning a walk up to Otley for this very purpose - I can't think of a better place to welcome tired and hungry walkers!
