    Let's start with something very important to a review of a Mexican (strictly burrito) place in the…read moreUK; I'm American with about fifteen years in the food industry on the perpetual hunt for great food. Taco Macho is a hidden gem, and it shouldn't be surprising that it's the #1 place to eat in Exeter on TripAdvisor. Although I've constantly complained to him about how long it takes to make a burrito, it's also my fault because we're both talkers. He makes all his ingredients fresh, and hand picks all his ingredients because (we've discussed this) he'd rather pay more for supplies that are of a better quality which means he needs to do his shopping instead of going through a supplier. For about £7 you get a burrito that is the best you're going to find (I'll have another review of the taco place in London later) in the UK, I've searched. They're American sized burritos, and absolutely DESTROY the other "Mexican" place across the river, and is the third best burrito I've ever had; the two others are no longer in business and were toward Columbia MD, and the other was in York PA. The flavor is very well balanced and have a nice combination of spice and occasionally citrus notes. Many of the Brits have turned up their nose, and the only reason I've been able to put together is because they're not used to an abundance of flavor in their food - That's not a jab a British food, but an observation from living there for about two years. There are beef, chicken, and sometimes vegan/vegetarian options but that may change in the future; I've never asked about veggie options. Overall, the hours are short (about 1100-1600 Tuesday-Saturday, but that may have changed), so call ahead and hopefully the number provided is both accurate and if it's accurate hopefully he'll pick up; check Facebook for up-to-date hours. If you go in, you could probably tell him the Gringo that was always in flannel sent you, and you won't regret it. However, if you find a better burrito in the UK, somebody needs to tell me because I don't think it's going to happen. Hopefully that was helpful. Keep on eating.

    Las Iguanas - Refried beans-not what an American expected, more like black bean soup.

    This is the best dinner I've had since coming to England! A tight travel budget had my girlfriend…read moreand I eating Tesco cheese and onion sandwiches for days on end, so we decided to splurge and get a real meal. We were craving hearty English food that had vegetarian options, and found very few options. We stumbled upon this place, and while obviously not "English" fare, it sounded good enough. We were offered a vegetarian/vegan menu- a real menu, not a tiny pamphlet! Hurrah! We got three tapas to share. The fondue was heaven. I highly recommend ordering it, even if it's not to share (after trying it, you might not be willing to!). Servers were polite and efficient, and the restaurant had a nice vibe to it. There was a cocktail lounge downstairs if that's your thing, and lovely outdoor seating. It's also tucked away in a little cove-type place, so it's a good escape from the tourist-packed streets of Bath. They also had two for one cocktails, and since I can't legally drink in my own country, this was a fun and cheap way to have my first drink in a restaurant!

    Couldn't even try the place - the hostess all but gave us the heave-ho. We were looking forward to…read morea tasty lunch on our first day in Bath. We had two items of luggage and the hostess practically forced us to eat outdoors, then kept insisting that the food would arrive at "A MINIMUM of 30 minutes...MINIMUM!" Her face was so discouraging and stern that we told her never mind. Thank you for the lovely welcome to Bath, young lady.
