Taco Taco – the Mexican place so good they named it twice – has decided to be sound and give us a little pressie to pass onto you. The Dame Court joint has given us a voucher worth €150 for you to blow on the anything you desire in their place – and there’s a lot to desire. Take their brunch […]

It’s not the most stonkingly original place in Dublin, nor is it the best of the best. But some nights, you just can’t beat a decent feed in this Ranelagh institution – and this is one of them.

I grew up eating Mexican food. My family and I would frequent the same Mexican restaurant at least two nights every week, and I’ve gotta say it never got old. The ultimate Mexican treat, for me, has to be nachos,  with all that salsa, melted cheese, creamy guac, spicy jalapeños, chives, and lots of beans.  They’re beautiful – and the best part is, they can be shared […]

We’ll admit that we are fairly partial to some good guacamole – and we know, too, that it’s not difficult to make. Like, at all. Mash a load of avocados with some garlic, lime juice and coriander, and voila! Add chilies, tomato and onion if you like – it’s that simple. Which is why it’s such a […]
