Not quite Mexico, but not far off: Revolucion De Cuba is bringing a taste of Latin America to Deansgate. Sporting hanging plates, distressed, exposed brick walls and quirky tiled flooring, the space is home to live music, late-night cocktails and enviable brunches. It's the food that really captures our hearts though, as the lively restaurant serves delicious burritos filled with slow-cooked shredded beef or chicken fajitas, alongside hearty tapas such as black bean and feta empanadas. And to drink? There's a Cuban Icons menu as well as one centred around margaritas, featuring coconut or melon versions. 

Get on down to DogHouse Manchester for a mouthwatering menu of Mexican-inspired munch on their cool rooftop. Downstairs you'll find its signature bar pouring 30 taps of its signature beer, but the leafy, bunting-adorned, sky-high space is where it's at for grub. We're talking tacos filled with crispy fried chicken, home-fried corn nachos and birria-loaded fries, plus desserts like vanilla sugared churros. What's more, every Tuesday you can secure tacos for less: buy one and get the other for just £1. Choose from the Dorado, chicken, fish or TiNDLE chicken tacos alongside a refreshing tipple.

The Spanish and Central American theme runs deep in Sandinista. Established in 2002 and from the same team behind Blind Tyger and Smokestack is a cool, intimately-lit space fronting retro signage, exposed brick walls and fairy lights. The restaurant boasts a huge selection of cocktails, such as Brown Eyed Girl (an elegant Irish mocha), Elivs Juice (a chocolate orange mai tai) and Rio Sprtizle (a peach wine spritz), as well as a variety of tequilas. You'll find plenty of fabulous food deals here too, like a 'nibbles combo' which includes Mexican monster much, olives, nuts, chips and dips for £10, plus bhuna burritos filled with spicy butter chicken, chicken quesadillas and Spanish jamon breaded house croquetas. 

If you're on the hunt for Mexican restaurants in Manchester, UK, Peter Street Kitchen has to be up there. Combining the flavours of Mexico and Japan for a series of delicious small plates, this stylish space is also renowned for cocktails. Step inside the iconic Free Trade Hall to discover a space kitted out with modern furnishings celebrating naturalism: a tiled bar is the centre-piece, surrounded by marbled tables and pendant lighting. The award-winning eatery's menu is presented as a six-course tasting experience, including plates of grilled lobster gyoza tacos, beef tataki and black truffle ponzu, plus baby chicken roasted with lemon and miso butter. If you aren't planning on starting your meal with a tipple, finish on one at the Rikyū Bar and try a peach and raspberry martini out for size. 

After Mexican restaurants in Manchester city centre? If you like your nachos piled with cheese and sour cream, this Brazilian spot is the one for you. Las Iguanas started in Bristol in 1991 and has since expanded with outposts up and down the country, offering a smattering of dishes from Mexico and South America, including DIY tacos. Its Deansgate space fronts the same rich colour palette inspired by the southern hemisphere and plays uplifting Latin beats while diners dig into fare inspired by Buenos Aires and vibrant Mexican street food markets. Mixed fajita stacks are on the menu alongside mushroom enchiladas, chilli corn carne and vegetarian chimichanga.

Inspired by the owner's drive from Vegas to Mexico, Manchester's Liquor & Burn is giving you cantina vibes with a local feel. It was founded by the same people behind Almost Famous, Keko Moku and Home Sweet Home and features ribbons of multicoloured bunting across the ceiling, plenty of potted plants and cool, textured walls. Big on Tex Mex flavours that celebrate the classics that you might expect from a great roadside restaurant, burritos, fries topped with birria beef and nacho cheese, and tacos (think Baja shrimp for £9) are whipped up to be enjoyed alongside a tipple from the back bar. Look forward to 2-4-1 margaritas every day, and choose from a classic, Tommy's or frozen affair. 

Madre directly translates to 'mother' and that's exactly what you'll be calling this hip restaurant once you've dined there. From the same masterminds behind Belzan in Liverpool and London's Breddos comes an authentic, design-led Mexican eatery just shy of Piccadilly station. The interiors are mesmerising as soon as you step foot through its door - pastel pinks pair with lime greens and are met with the warm, orange glow of domed lamps. An agave-focused drinks menu steals the limelight, with tipples like peach margaritas (£12) and the Lopo Chapo (£10), made with slow berry-infused mezcal and apricot on Madre Manchester's menu. To eat, you can get excited about crispy, tender pork belly bites (£8.50), seabass ceviche tostadas (£13.50) and chorizo tacos (£10.50).
