Poko Loko

You're walking down Hutcheson Street in the Merchant City, and you push through the door of Poko Loko expecting the usual Glasgow treatment of Mexican food. Instead, you get something that actually knows what it's doing. The tacos are built with proper technique — quality fillings, fresh toppings, sauces that have been thought about. It's the kind of place where you can tell someone's bothered to get the fundamentals right rather than just throwing together whatever's trendy. The vibe is unfussy and unpretentious, which makes sense for a taco spot. You're not paying through the nose either, which doesn't happen often around here. Whether you're grabbing lunch near the Gallery of Modern Art or making a proper night of it, Poko Loko slots in perfectly.
