Food Fiesta


Whether a true Mexican food lover like myself or simply a fan of your mum's fajitas, there are some great options in the City Centre which will cater for your appetite. Less common than burgers, pizza and breakfast in Scotland, Mexican restaurants are on the rise. Here are some reasonably priced options in Glasgow. 

Topolobamba 

Location: 89 St. Vincent Street, G2 5TF


An extensive menu of Mexican food can be found at Topolobamba, and it really is the king of our food Fiesta. Offering both 'Small Plates' and 'Big Boys' you are sure to find something you'll enjoy no matter how hungry you are. 

Great options from a Stuffed Chimichanga to a lighter bite with the Crispy Taquitos. Or for those who would like spice, some Jalapeno Poppers on the side. 

Located in the heart of many of the restaurants in Glasgow, Topolobamba is always busy! This creates a great atmosphere and doesn't affect the service you receive. 

 Only thing I would suggest is book first or avoid peak time (like 7pm on a Saturday). If not you may have to wait around in the bar area till a table becomes available.

 Fun atmosphere, classic Jose Cuervo Margaritas and good quality food. 


Mezcal 

Location: 104 Hope St, G2 6PH

Having newly opened in Glasgow, Mezcal is new to the Glasgow food scene. Located right next to Central Station, it's a great choice before you catch the train to the Hydro or simply head home. 

 Although not a particularly extensive menu, they have several key options which will fit the bill for a bite to eat. 

 As the name Mezcal suggests (being a Mexican alcohol) they have many great drink options and deals too. With over 25 different Tequila's alone, you'll be sure to have a good time, even if you don't remember the next day! 

 Although it may seem quiet early on in the week, Mezcal livens up Thu-Sat with a host of different live music and DJ's.

Tacos, Tequila and Techno what more could you want.


Taco Bell 

Location: 245 Sauchiehall Street, G2 3EZ

Now this only very loosely squeezes under the term 'restaurant'. None the less, it's a great cheap eat and Mexican food hit. Open from 10:30am until 4am you can go to Taco Bell no matter what time of the day. Enjoy for lunch, tea, post night out or even for breakfast this will definitely sort you out.

With an extensive menu you are open to a range of tacos, burritos and quesadillas as well as Taco Bell's signature Crunchwrap Supreme you'll be spoilt for choice.  

If stuck for lunch on a Tuesday, they offer a Taco and a beer or a soft drink for only £2! All of their meals come with a refillable cup so you can sit an enjoy a coke or 7up with no rush to leave. 

 One word of advice avoid the overpriced, naff desserts, better to stick to the mains.

Burgers, Fries and all things nice

You don't have to walk far to find a burger place in Glasgow's City Centre. Large chains are equally common amongst those visiting Glasgow such as Handmade Burger Co., Five Guys and GBK. Here are a short list of some of the less well-known spots, which offer great deals.  NYC Bar & Grill  Location: 185 Hope Street, G2 2UL Offering 2for1 burgers and hotdogs everyday, this place is not to be missed.  Before you dive in, there is a loophole: only valid with the purchase of a drink. Which, on a low budget, usually involves tap water all round. Equally, factor in fries or a side when adding up your section of the bill.  Great food, fast service and lots of choice, with great cocktails to make your night even better.  BRGR  Location: 6 Royal Exchange Square, G1 3AB Whether you call it "burger" or attempt to say "BRGR" without the vowels, this place is great for those sticking to a budget.  BRGR offers menu items individually,...

Wok' a Good Deal

Now when it comes to Asian food, you often have a harsh choice to make, you either opt for a cheap, below average, takeaway or find yourself in an Indian with your friends and before you know it, you're paying for curry, sides, naan breads, starters ... you get the picture.  Here are a few key places within Glasgow which fall between these two extremes, and hopefully wont rip you off in the process! Yippon  Location: 106 George Street, G1 1RF Now this is worth the investment. The long queues are enough to tell you how good it is, so do avoid peak times if you can. With their own staff claiming they serve the "Best chips in Glasgow", the Salt and Chilli Fries are a must. Great option for fresh Chinese food which doesn't leave you as full as when you order far too much for delivery.  Unique to Glasgow City Centre and located a stone's throw away from Strathclyde University and George Square it's ideal for when you've got a train to catch at Que...
