I must admit, it’s my favourite place to go
for a naked burrito whenever I’m in Brighton. I love the casual, friendly vibe of the restaurant and the food is always delicious. I just had their banana blossom naked burrito and it was gorgeous!

My boyfriend and I came here for an early valentine’s meal and had absolutely no complaints. Both the cocktails we had were incredible (the huapanga was my fave), and the food was delicious too. My boyfriend particularly loved the halloumi starter! The real highlight though is the staff. The waitress and bartender were so attentive and kind, and made the whole experience. Absolutely recommend!

Hands down my favourite Mexican restaurant in Brighton. The food was insane and the pricing wasn’t bad either especially for the quality. Margaritas are great and have a chilly rim which is very yummy. Highly recommend the nachos !

Really lovely place to go. It is well worth the price, from service to food to atmosphere, everything was 5 stars.
Margaritas were all amazing regardless of which one you chose (my favourite was mango).
The nachos were a great starter but would’ve also made a great meal for someone. All the tacos we ordered were delicious. I had the steak tacos, which had a lovely marinade with more of a kick than I was expecting (not complaining though) and an absolutely delicious cheese twirl and salsa.
I would also recommend having the churros for dessert if you have room and get both sauces as they are equally delicious.
All the staff were amazingly friendly and helpful, happy to answer questions and always ready to take an extra drink order.

Marvellous margs and tasty tacos in an intimate cinco de mayo setting.
Carlito Burrito has been on my "must visit" list for a good while now. After 5 years of saying I want to go, when a friend and her friend came to visit, I knew it was time.
Inside is a level of cool my home decor can only aspire too! Deep teals, a selection of skulls (real, wooden and decorated) and neon lighting adorn the walls. The seating is cushions and chairs
If you've had substandard Mexican food (and sadly there plenty, and yes I'm looking at you large chain beginning with a W, I have yet to set foot in a bell of the taco variety), then you need ti visit here to get a taste of it done right.
The banana blossom "fish" tacos were simply amazing. Generous portions of banana blossom woth just the right amount of slaw n sauce. The home made tortillas were pretty good too! My friends had very well enjoyed burritos, quesadillas, and beef tacos. Thr only complaint (from my child!) is that the beef tacos weren't spicy! However, it should be noted that this kid is a spice demon, so there probably is a little kick to it. I was particularly pleased to see not only good vegan options, but vegan options that didn't consist of an over processed meat substitution. It makes me think that the proprietor has really thought about the menu and the ingredients.
The booze! Well, in my humble opinion chilli salt rims should be law on a margarita, but with mezcal and chilli liquor? Basically marg heaven. This is an all out, hands down recommendation for the Fire and Earth Margarita. Hibiscus soda, fresh lemonade with mint and a hibiscus marg also went down well with the rest of the party.
Just a note for those of us with sensory processing challenges. Early on this, place is great, but as with many places, the more people are, the more different noises to process. The music and margs mean that this can get quite lively and intense. And absolutely no issues with the kid getting on with her activities or her questions on the food.

Food was so so yummy and staff are friendly. But I guess they need to hire more people to be able to provide a better service.
We had tacos and they were delicious! But too small unfortunately, especially for it's price.

I was impressed by this place.
Not only the waiting team was cheerful and eager to explain their food.
I really liked the Michelada, probably the main reason why I went there in the first place. It was tasty and not too spicy, just right. I really recommend it.
The Nachos are simply it! Generous portion with original taste, very well done and served at the right temperature. A delight!
The burrito was good. I wanted to try the chorizo one but the waiter pointed out that in the heat it would have been a bit much. The chicken was tender and flavourful, teen rice was fresh together with the vegetables. Absolutely delicious.
I will come back for sure, and you should try it too.

Had no plans for lunch but due to a delay in a meeting ended up here. Was greeted by a friendly Stephanie how seated us.
I loveeee corn on the cob in a Mexican restaurant and exactly ordered that.
Followed by Jackfruit burrito and mint lemonade.
The spices on the corn…uff.. I can still taste it!
The interiors are beautiful but what is even more beautiful is the hospitality. I love when people working at a restaurant genuinely feel for the food and place there and give a touching experience to the diners.
Amazing food and amazing place!
100% recommended.
We spent 40£ for a meal for two.

Amazing service!
We went last minute and everyone was incredibly accommodating. I’d like to especially give a shout out to Hettie and Paula for this, and for their amazing service.
The food was so good. We got totopos, chorizo and halloumi burrito, fish tacos, sweet potato fries and churros. It was the best burrito and tacos that either of us have ever had. We also got the margaritas which were amazing!
Highly recommend this place and we will both definitely be coming back.

Excellent food and service, we started with the summer nachos and a cocktail, followed by the jackfruit burrito and the pulled pork tacos, both were delicious! Also, really impressed with the staff, there was one girl running the floor and even with six tables both outside and in, she was brilliant, no one was left waiting. Really impressed. Looking forward to our next visit!
