    Carlito Burrito - Acapulco is very beautiful.  No, that is the cocktail. Brighton Gin, lychee liqueur, passion fruit syrup, hibiscus. Would drink again.

    Quesadilla was amazing! Monty lemonade also fantastic! Great atmosphere and service was…read morewonderful. Definitely a place to eat at again

    Since this place cropped up a few months ago, I've been dying to try it! As a lover of Mexican…read morefood, I am always happy to welcome new Mexican joints to the city - especially ones that look as vibrant and enticing as Carlito Burrito. I went in for dinner here on a Wednesday night and the place was completely packed. We got seated (just!) at a lovely big table in the window, decked out in a colourful, bright table cloth. The restaurant, being rather small, was buzzing and had a great atmosphere about it. Now, I wasn't that hungry when I arrived but as soon as you walk through the door and smell that food, I wager that anyone's stomach would start to rumble. The menu is perfect - just enough to satisfy most customers but not overwhelmingly large. I opted for a pork burrito and, let me say, I was not disappointed by my choice. First let me say that I've been on the hunt around Brighton for a top-notch burrito for a while now, so whenever I sit down to try one, my expectations are high! There's a lot that can wrong with a burrito, so it can be a bit underwhelming, but then, there's a lot that can go right... Carlito Burrito have nailed it (as they should have, considering they even have burrito in their name). My meal was packed full of flavour and texture, staying piping hot throughout and was just the right amount for a hungry person. Granted, it was an absolute nightmare to eat - my friends were no doubt ashamed to be sitting with me by the end of it, my hands and face covered - but the mess is so so worth it!! My friends had the fish tacos which looked gorgeous and apparently tasted delicious as well, but were certainly a smaller portion, so if you're looking for something filling then the burrito is the choice for you! It's been a few days now and I'm still thinking about that meal. I'm so thrilled that I've finally found an epic Brighton burrito (though my physique my not be thanking me in a few months time). Being new to Brighton, it was great to see this place thriving as well! Carlito Burrito is well worth a visit! Friendly staff, great atmosphere and hands down the tastiest Mexican food I've tasted yet in Brighton! Get there! Quickly!

    From start to finish, this was the worst restaurant experiences I've had…read more I visited this restaurant with my family one evening, and the first thing we saw was the unwelcoming stares of the waitstaff (a group of 5 or more people hovering by the bar, who couldn't have looked less enthusiastic if they tried). Eventually one of them mustered up the courage to approach us, after we stood awkwardly for 2 minutes. We were asked "Do you have a booking-". Considering half the restaurant was empty, and there was just 2 of us we expected a better response. We were told to wait while he checked - Again, we could clearly see there was space. He guided us to the very back wall of the restaurant, right by the kitchen door. In his defence, there was a pretty big party of young people that were sitting by the window having the time of their lives (kudos to them), and it was clear the main manager wanted a certain atmosphere to be advertised at the shop window. We were not the clientele he wanted to advertise. Or perhaps he was psychic, and knew about the impending food poisoning we would have? There's that too. We went to our table and begun looking at our menus. Beyond the remnants of what I can only hope was hot sauce or ketchup, I was able to see most of my menu. We ordered 1 starter (taquitos), 2 mains (chimichangas), 1 drink (caipirinha). Whilst waiting, the waitstaff constantly shifted and moved tables and chairs around us - perhaps this was their idea of creating ambience? At one point, a server lifted a chair near his head, and accidently dropped the foot of a chair on the tip of our table. Not only was his method of chair-lifting nonsensical, it was dangerous. He bellowed "sorry!" as he scurried to the other side of the restaurant to avoid reproach The starter arrived within 7 minutes of ordering. My taquitos were piping hot, and yet they were dry and dehydrated (clearly precooked some hours before and thrown in a microwave). I wanted to be impressed by the mere speed in which they got to me, but then again that's what 90 seconds in a microwave will give you. Presentation was sloppy, my salad was dry, in spite of the Hellmann's salad dressing presumptively drizzled on top. My caipirinha was very syrupy, and although my glass was filled with at least 6 lime wedges, I did not taste the tartness, tanginess or sourness of the citrus that would have balanced the sheer volume of syrup. Our main course came shortly after. Two chimichangas - AKA Two store bought tortillas filled with a flavourless mix of mince beef and kidney beans, topped with microwaved cheese and brined jalapeno slices. This was accompanied by rice that had clearly been precooked in bulk and reheated. Outside of any subjective view, the food lacked the flavour, authenticity and basic effort one would expect from any establishment - let alone Mexican & Cuban cuisine, which is renowned for incredible flavours and colourful presentation. Our meal was cooked with minimal care or concern, and if the treatment we received wasn't already a clear indication we were not welcome at this restaurant, the food was the final rubber stamp on it.

    An American restaurant situated not far from the town centre with it's typical American decor. A…read morefantastic atmosphere with its ultra comfortable leather booth seats, skylight bringing in natural sunlight, even plug sockets for laptop users and free wifi. It also seems the place to watch live sports over a drink and a burger with tv screens on each corner of the restaurant yet it is still very family friendly and service has always been impeccable. In my honest opinion I do believe they serve some of the best American dishes around and can even compete with some of London's favourite diners. Wild wings (cajun) x6 Incredibly moreish and can see myself finishing a higher quantity bucket load. The wing sizes were quite average but very succulent and meaty inside. The cajun spices gave it a nice sweet paprika garlicky flavour and latched on well on the crispy skins of the wing showing that they were well fried, Sloppy Joes Ticked all the boxes for a fantastic burger. First that lovely pillow soft brioche bun, slightly charred so it came warm. Then came the rich tender minced beef fried with onions and peppers in there to give it some texture and boost of flavour. The sauce it came with was generous, with lovely rich sweet and and savoury notes keeping everything moist and juicy throughout. Finished off nicely with a fine slice of cheese, melted perfectly to intensify the umami flavours. Full rack ribs A delicious slab of ribs, keeping its meaty texture and flavours which suggest it was slow cooked the full length of time to tenderise and soften the meat. There was no pre cooking the ribs beforehand here. This allowed the rich BBQ coca cola sauce to penetrate through to the bone whilst reducing in liquid to create a rich and sticky coating around the ribs keeping everythign moist and juicy. A nice light creamy coleslaw on the side to cool things off. Curly fries These were perfectly fried. It had that moreish fluffy inside and crispy outside that was coated in the sweet mild spices which you find collapsing on itself as you chew, sending the rush of flavour through each mouthful. I say mouthful as who just pops one in their mouth per bite, not if they are this good. Chilli fries Not the spicy chilli as I imagined but chilli consisting of a wonderful well flavoured mix of red kidney beans, onions and red peppers in a lovely thick tomato slurry that helped bind the sauce and flavours on each and every chip. Drizzled with sour cream to add a lovely creamy consistency. Very wholesome dish. Sloppy suits every occassion whether it's your quick lunch or a celebration feast. Food has always been fantastic and paired with that is it's lovely bright and spacious atmosphere. Those who can eat a lot like me should definitely go for one of their food challenges. try their Sloppy Joes challenge and knock me down the top of the chart if you can.
