Pinche Pinche review: Popular Leeds Mexican restaurant falls short of lofty reputation

Popular Leeds Mexican restaurant Pinche Pinche boasts it offers up authentic cuisine with recipes learned by the owner while in the country's capital.

The Chapel Allerton eatery, which offers takeaway and delivery, has been a staple in Harrogate Road since 2007. Owner Simon Heath, who’s from Yorkshire, claims to have learned the recipes in Mexico City when he lived there briefly in his 20s and strives to retain the authentic methods of preparing the dishes.

The menu offers Mexican street food, with dishes ranging from nachos, quesadilla, tacos, burritos, churros with a range of sides and starters. As a restaurant menu, it is rather limited as lots of these items seem very similar, essentially the same sort of food products prepared differently. It's far from fine dining, more a place to have a quick bite.
