Housed within the former T-Mobile shop, next to Boots, it’s a prime spot – and one normally saved strictly for the chain stores. But we’re much happier to see Nanna Mexico’s cheery blue shop front, with traditional hand-painted signage – and we’re sure you’d agree.
Inside, owner Luis has created a lively, modern feel throughout, with lots of quirky, Mexican-inspired touches. Never mind donkeys and sombreros, think exposed, painted brickwork, scrubbed wooden floors and cool, industrial-style lighting illuminating happy diners munching on freshly prepared burritos, enchiladas and other traditional street food favourites. There are arty nods to Luis’ homeland in the cartoony paintings on the wall, signifying people’s personal wishes, and even the loo is adorned with framed vintage soap boxes.
There’s further seating upstairs, making it a great lunch stop for larger groups as well as hungry shoppers stopping off for a quick, healthy and hearty bite.
