Food for Cowboys

You're walking down Alfred Gelder Street in the city centre and you spot Food for Cowboys tucked in among the usual high street suspects. Step inside and you've left Hull's grey pavements behind. The place has that buzzy, unpretentious energy where everyone's clearly here for the food, not the Instagram moment. The kitchen takes Mexican cuisine seriously—we're talking housemade salsas, proper technique on the ceviche, and moles that have actually been simmered. It's the kind of spot where locals keep coming back because the food's consistently good and the staff actually seem to know what they're talking about. Nothing fancy, nothing forced, just honest cooking that makes you wonder why you don't eat here more often.
