Bustling place, great food and service. Got the ceviche, burrito bowl and quesadilla and liked all of them. Added a guacamole as well to the mix. Calamari was standout for us, better than the usual pale yellow batter-heavy stuff elsewhere. Worth trying !

La Choza. Arguably a Brighton institution. Staff are really friendly and accommodating, service is fast and the vibes are good. In general the food is pretty good. As usual, for such cuisines outside certain geographical areas, a diagnosis of outstanding is hard to come by. Therefore, such a deduction would depend on what your opinion of good Mexican food is and what you’re used to.
We enjoyed a cheesy nacho dip and the birria tacos. Regarding the cheese dip, I thought it was a bit pricey for what is was and I would have liked the onions to be chopped up. Flavour was good though. My thoughts are similar when it comes to the birria - the onions should have been chopped up though I did find it rather flavourful and I did drink the remaining broth. Though I would have liked an additional quesadilla as it comes with only two. I think it would also be nice to have a bit more cheese in the quesadillas.
Overall good and I would go back.

great food, plenty of options and not too long between courses. no booking under 7 people however if you find out kitchen opening times you’re guaranteed a space. a bit cramped where you’re pretty much sat next to other customers and service a little slow towards the end however all lovely staff nevertheless. would recommend and go back ☺️

A tiny little intimate taste of Mexico in the UK. It's little intimate atmosphere adds to its authenicity. Make no mistake, this is the real deal. Warm and welcoming, the food is magnificent. If one doesn't have the coin to travel to Mexico itself, then one should sample authentic Mexican food from this gem. 5 star! Special mention to Lilly - fabulous hostess

Could not recommend enough. Even though the restaurant was full to the brim the staff were really attentive and made us feel at home.
We ordered three margaritas - one classic, one hibiscus and one passion fruit . They were on the table in a matter of minutes and all were delicious.
My partner and I decided to get fish tacos and her sister got a chicken and chorizo burrito. All of them were great and left my partner doing her “food dance” while eating - which only happens with the best of scran.
We weren’t sure which salsa to go with so we got extra dips for the table. My favourite was the habanero, which was really spicy and hot but not in a gimmicky “blow your head off” kind of way - full of flavour and well balanced. The others had the pipian and if I remember rightly a green tomatillo type salsa - both very tasty.
The atmosphere was great. We’ll deffo be back.

Loved this little place! Had an amazing time with my friends! The staff was very attentive, polite and friendly. When I asked about the salsa they served the lady kindly explained how it was made and how spicy it was! The food was great too and it came out very quickly! Nicely seasoned and tasted great.

What a fantastic place. Probably the best Mexican I ever had. If this was authentic, I might have to go there on holidays!
Specially in love with their homemade sauces.

I love La Choza. Have been many times and always been good. Went for lunch today and as good as ever. The fish burrito is fabulous. (The photo is of the kids portion, which is just a little bit smaller than the adults size.)
