Tex-Mex · Southsea
Tucked away on Elm Grove, this is a genuinely easy place to bring the family — free parking outside, buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu, plus vegan options if you need them. The birria tacos are what people travel for; one family drives down from Brighton once a month just for those, and the beef tacos and lamb grill get the same treatment. Portions are big and it works out around £18–20 a head with drinks, which is fair for the quality. Brunch is a quiet strength too, with pretzels and a proper full English. Two honest notes: the 7-chilli spice is seriously hot, so steer children well clear of it, and service can be scattered when it's busy — you may need to catch someone's eye for napkins.
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.
