Muchos Locos

You'll find this brilliant Mexican spot tucked into one of the Lace Market's quieter courtyards, where the smell of proper corn tortillas hits you before you even walk through the door. The kitchen doesn't mess about with Tex-Mex nonsense – this is the real deal, with hand-pressed tortillas filled with slow-cooked carnitas, zingy fish tacos, and vegetarian options that actually have soul. The space feels like someone's converted a warehouse unit into their favourite local taqueria, complete with Day of the Dead artwork and an impressive mezcal collection behind the bar. Staff know their stuff when it comes to matching drinks with food, and the portions are generous enough that you won't leave feeling robbed. It's the kind of place that's packed with everyone from office workers grabbing lunch to groups settling in for a proper evening session.
