From the beginning, Benito’s Hat dedicated itself to serving simple, fresh food that is quick and tasty. The simple menu is built around burritos (naked or wrapped) and tacos but now includes antojitos (Mexican tapas), a 10-strong salsa bar, tres leches cake and a range of fresh and frozen margaritas. Felipe creates seasonally changing specials delivering classic favourites and exciting innovations.

These items remain at the core of Benito’s and highlight the fact that the success of our brand is high quality but simple products. We pride ourselves on the change we make from Feast to Fiesta everyday at 5pm, when we turn down the lights, turn up the music and pour amazing margaritas for our customers to enjoy. We also change our menu and will happily serve food to the table during fiesta time, so our customers have more chance to enjoy our fabulous drinks.

Great food, friendly staff, good value - just a shame that it was so quiet. Lots of takeaway food being ordered but very few people in the restaurant. It would be a great venue if there was some atmosphere and the should do some nights where the get a mariachi band in!

This is a very casual dining concept, so I'm not sure if booking a table is ever really necessary, but perhaps it's advisable on Thursday and Friday after office hours. Order at the counter, food's brought out. They seem to have a booming delivery market on Mondays. Happy Hour drink specials will appeal to work groups. Food is fine, cooked behind the counter to order, could have been hotter in temperature. Good value: Nachos, quesadilla and salad, large burrito and 2 classic Margaritas were £27. Friendly and competent staff. Would drop in for a quick bite or to hang out with friends or family.
