Mexican · Brighton
Tucked into Brighton with a bright, playful fit-out, this is the kind of Mexican spot that works with kids in tow — buggy access, high chairs, a kids' menu and a few outdoor tables when you need the fresh air. Food arrives fast, which matters when someone's patience is running out, and portions are generous: the cheeky chicken burrito, the fish tacos, the flautas, and nachos made with their own chips that stubbornly refuse to go soggy. Two proper vegan mains (banana blossom "fish" or plant-based chorizo) mean nobody's stuck with chips. Staff are warm and clearly enjoy themselves. Prices sit at the reasonable end. It's a small, cosy room, so it's worth booking, and one regular warns the seats by the door can get "a bit chilly" when it swings open.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
Two menus — familiar Chinese favourites for the kids, properly spicy Hunan cooking for you — with high chairs and warm, patient staff.
Buzzy, spacious Brighton brunch spot with crunchy hash browns kids love, generous plant-based plates and a peanut-free kitchen — but expect queues.
