Carlito Burrito Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The chicken quesadillas is my favourite thing on the menu. The pork burrito was also delicious and full of flavour."
• "The food was incredible and we stuffed ourselves."
• "The burrito was good. The chicken was tender and flavourful, teen rice was fresh together with the vegetables. Absolutely delicious."
• "It was the best burrito and tacos that either of us have ever had."
• "The tacos, burritos, nachos, all amazing easily my favourite in Brighton."
• "Food cooked to perfection."
• "Everything blew our minds with explosions of taste, especially the fish tacos, chicken burrito and chicken & chorizo tacos."

Cons:

• "Last time I got the (amazing) fish tacos delivered they turned up in a box and had disintegrated."
• "Quesadilla not folded so the filling spilled out. Undercooked rice in the burrito."
• "The whole burrito is pretty much soaking wet."
• "Slightly on the expensive side as I felt our vegetarian burrito was lacking in halloumi."
• "ordered the chicken burrito..15 pound in total with guac and some salsa. one of the worst burritos I have ever had. Burrito 50% lettuce, it was not wrapped properly literally like a taco in foil lol and chicken was non-existent."
• "The taco tortilla was quite soggy causing it to fall apart, the fish was just plain cod which is quite boring."
• "The fish tacos had so much sauce you could only taste this."

Service

Pros:

• "What a great vibe and service, one of the best Mexican places with cocktails and tequila to die for."
• "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."
• "Service was amazing too."
• "The staff are amazing and the owner is often around working hard and encouraging a friendly atmosphere."
• "Manager is so sweet and polite, she is a wonderful host."
• "Great delivery experience."
• "I’d like to especially give a shout out to Hettie and Paula for this, and for their amazing service."

Cons:

• "Service was slow and we weren’t checked on at all during our visit."
• "The staff are disorganised, forgetful and frankly come across as not really caring about the customers."
• "Even water took ages to arrive and we only got it after the manageress told her waitress twice to bring the water over."
• "Been trying to contact this establishment for months to enquire about catering a private event... but they don’t respond to emails, instagram messages or DMs."
• "Service was pleasant enough but the young lady might have been new as not helpful."
• "We stood by the door as requested for a while, people came and went!"
• "Eventually a stressed out chap came over and barked 'yes' at me!"

Atmosphere

Pros:

• "Very vibrant and fun place!!"
• "Carlito Burrito convinced me for the name and for the atmosphere outside and inside!"
• "It is a very nice place. It has an amazing modern street Mexican style to it."
• "The inside of the restaurant is rather intimate, so it can get a bit noisy at times (being seated so close to other tables) but has a lively, fun atmosphere."
• "Inside is a level of cool my home decor can only aspire too!"
• "The place is cool and edgy."
• "Super Mexican food in a relaxed and very vibrant little restaurant."

Cons:

• "The music was good but bit difficult to keep a conversation over as it was so loud so give 4 stars for the atmosphere."
• "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 atmosphere was flat, the restaurant smelled of cooking oil."
• "Hygiene and cleanliness definitely suspect."
• "Sadly, the quality of takeaway food has decreased greatly. Ordered some burritos yesterday which were 70% lettuce and near non-existent chorizo or halloumi."
• "The restaurant itself is quite small and can get crowded very easily, but the ambiance is very colourful and warm."
• "Really cool atmosphere."

Value

Pros:

• "Check out their 2 margaritas for £10 offer on Sunday. It's a steal!"
• "Food is very good. Lots of choice. Reasonable price."
• "5 pound lunch burritos on weekdays are incredible value."
• "In terms of pricing, Carlito's is very decent. You won't break the bank by coming here, and I feel the price is very worth it."
• "For just over a tenner, you can have an incredible meal, which is excellent value."
• "Drinks and food were top shelf, no complaints whatsoever. Prices aren't low, but are on track for Brighton."
• "The tacos have a lot of substance (lots of steak, cilantro, avocado salsa), making it very worth the price as well."

Cons:

• "Well we were both well off the mark as it came to £28!"
• "Especially when you're paying £12 for two tacos."
• "Slightly on the expensive side as I felt our vegetarian burrito was lacking in halloumi."
• "For £11 per main we expected a bit more wow factor than what we received, which was a pretty standard take on Mexican street food."
• "Especially painful when you pay more than 15 quid for one with added guacamole."
• "We spent 40£ for a meal for two."
• "But too small unfortunately, especially for its price."
