Favourite Mexican! Walk-ins only. Make sure you get a frozen margarita.

Fantastic cool, urban, hipster Mexican.

Simply the best tacos in town. Great food. Great margaritas (shaken recommended). Great music. No bookings taken, and it does get busy, but you can put your name down and go across the street to Bon Vivant for a pre-meal cocktail (they even have suggested cocktails for those waiting for an El Cartel table).

Great Mexican food. Small plate dining. Large Tequila selection.

Real Mexican food and amazing frozen margaritas!! Count yourself lucky if you get to visit El Cartel as they don't take bookings and it is always busy!
