Luck Lust Liquor & Burn

Located on the corner of a side street in the Northern Quarter, Luck Lust Liquor And Burn does the street food trend well, specialising in Mexican grub with an American twist. This Mexican eatery is owned by the same folks who brought you Almost Famous, so expect your dishes to be dripping in sauce and stuffed with other extras. Serving up tacos, burgers, burritos and steaks, the restaurant’s menu is rather meat-heavy, but there are more than a few veggie options for you herbivores. If you’re feeling daring, try the taco roulette — six fish and chicken stuffed tacos, one of which is packed with “damn hot sauce”. The bar downstairs is great for a few post-work pints — it serves craft beer, cocktails, and spirits — with plenty of tequila available, of course. Luck Lust Liquor And Burn doesn’t take bookings, and it can get busy, but don’t let that put you off — that just proves that it’s good.
