KATIEB_23 Â Â 10 #3 Posted August 5, 2008 K Pasa idoes great food on glossop rd/west st end. Although somewhere a bit more special-decor cocktails etc is LAS IGUANAS in the west one complex on west st.K Pasa does great food - i used to love it when I was a student but its a bit tacky for a grown up anniversary - plastic tablecloths etc. Although if you like that sort of thing then tell them it's your Birthday & they'll make you stand on your chair with a sombrero on and down a flaming sambuca! Â Las Iguanas is nice. Â There's a new place on Eccy Rd (between Nonnas & Walnut Club) called Abuello which does great cocktails and mexican food but it's more of a casual bar than a restaurant - you go up to the counter & choose the fillings in your burritos etc. Worth a visit, but again not exactly an anniversary restaurant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Stockers   10 #4 Posted August 5, 2008 Las Iguanas is closed for refurbishments and i don't really fancy the sound of the other two.  I went to K Pasa years ago and it was very cheesy then, plastic table cloths etc.  Mmmmmm, sheffield doesnt have many decent places to eat really does it.

HotPhil   10 #5 Posted August 5, 2008 Yep, K Pasa and Las Iguanas both best avoided in my opinion (and I think K Pasa is closed too at the moment - could be wrong). Can't think of another Mexican though There might have been one at the bottom of The Moor, but I've not been there for so long it's probably bulldozed.

greyone   10 #6 Posted August 5, 2008 i don't think a mexican place is ever going to be a romantic place for an anniversary though- can't think of a single 'classy' mexican restaurant in any city. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
The_Bear   10 #7 Posted August 7, 2008 Theres one at Gleadless Townend next to Sainsburys, called Tequilas or similar.  It has some very busy nights with office partys etc. Think they have two sittings on these nights to fit them all in. Groups always meet up in the Red Lion pub next door.  Must be good as there are always groups of dolled up women having a drink in the Red Lion before each sitting.

There isn't one.  Not an authentic Mexican at least.  There's that newish place on Ecclesall Road that used to be called 543 or something. That is masquerading as a Mexican place but it's probably about as Mexican as Arthur Scargill.  You'll need to go to a big city like Leeds, Nottingham or Manchester if you want to find a real Mexican restaurant.

jemson   10 #11 Posted August 8, 2008 El Paso has pretty good food, much better than K-Pasa, and the Gleadless one is Mexican/Italian isn`t it? A good mexican restaurant with a nice ambience would be a welcome addition to Sheff imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
