We had the trio of tacos, smashed potatoes and the padron peppers. I wish we had room to try everything else on the menu, it was unreal. Margarita was also fantastic!

Went for dinner couple of days ago. The place is in the pub called The 78. Only food is by Antojitos. Please note that the place is all vegan. You order at the bar. It was quite noisy with full of people and a birthday celebration large group. We were seated with stools; not the most comfortable. Nachos were fine. Birria wings were tasty; so were the Elote ribs. The taco trio( chick n pastor, soya carnitas and chorixo con papas were spicy and I didn’t enjoy them. Southern fried pineapple tacos were better. Chilaquiles Roja were ok. Overall, the food is fine; I think if you’re a vegan. Sorry I didn’t enjoy the meal. But good effort for a vegan Mexican offering!

The food is excellent and the service is very quick. All of this food is vegan but it is the best mexican food I have ever had! The tacos are extremely flavourful, I cannot get enough of the Seitan Barbacoa tacos, they are so tasty and refreshing. Just amazing. Smashed potatoes are my other favourite, little potatoes with a really nice and spicy sauce and lovely garnishes. I would recommend this food to anyone vegan or not.

Oh man! What an absolute foodgasm this place was! We went here for lunch and left real proud of how amazing vegan food can be! The corn/elote ribs were so juicy and tangy that we were disappointed we couldn't bite into and finish the cob too! The refried bean toastada was the less impressive counterpart. By itself, a nice small plate with handmade soft tacos, beans, guac and veggies but couldn't match up to the ribs. The Chilaquiles was by far the best dish! Soaked in Chipotle tinga and drizzled with avocado crema, this was sinful and luscious with each bite! We finished with Churros accompanied by vegan dulce-de-leche and though it tasted great, with great crispy on the outside and gooey on the inside texture of the churros, we felt it was a little less in quantity. If we ever go back to Glasgow, we will make sure to eat multiple meals at Antojitos - the cravings are real !

best vegan food in Scotland. been going to the 78 since they started there and love almost everything, especially the pineapple tacos. the smashed potatoes used to be the best thing I've ever eaten, but disappointing last few months as they haven't been crispy at all, just a bowl of boiled potatoes with seasoning. hope this changes soon!

Anjitos specialises in Mexican street food but with a vegan twist. I absolutely had to try it! We had two sets of tacos and a side of wings. The tacos were delicious, the stand out for me was the Carnitas Soya protein as it was so crunchy and sweet. The salsa, salad and taco shells were all so fresh, it was just such a tasty meal! I also really enjoyed the wings, the sauce served with it was amazing. I thought the proteins used were done very well and I felt it was very generous portion size for the money. Overall this was a great meal and the bar it is situated in is cosy with a great selection of beers. I would definitely advise to give it a visit

Glorious! Nipped into Antojito’s for the first time today, I ordered the Southern fried pins which was a pineapple finger in a southern fried breadcrumb with spices & the combination of flavours on offer were outstanding, accompanied by Elote Ribs which were corn ribs with spice & other bits & bobs & also the Papusa which was like a cheese filled potato pancake? Everything was delicious, the food arrived at the table within 10 minutes, although I never got a check-back on the table I think by the look on ma face & how fast I was tucking in the check-back wouldn’t have been necessary anyway, very impressed with this vegan take on Mexican cuisine, will be back soon to show family/friends.

The spinach and feta taquitos were excellent as well as the jackfruit taco (I think we ordered the beer battered banana one but it was so good we didn’t mind!). Good-sized portions too. We ordered 3 small plates and 2 mains which was enough for 2 meals. We’ll be ordering from them again!
