Overview

Bizarron is a Latin American-themed bar, restaurant and late-night venue at 111 Hope Street in the city centre, directly across from Glasgow Central station. Its own pitch is a classic diner crossed with a bar: a menu drawing on Brazil, Colombia and Mexico (feijoada, moqueca, churrasco skewers, chicharrón colombiano) alongside tacos, a long rum list and cocktails. Reviewers on Google and TripAdvisor single out the tacos (birria, pork, beef, fish), pork belly, the seafood stew and the cocktails, along with dim, quirky decor and friendly staff. A few mention slower service at busy times. Reported spend is roughly £20–30 a head. It runs from noon daily except Monday, closing at 10pm on Tuesday to Thursday and Sunday, and staying open until 3am on Fridays and Saturdays with DJs and live entertainment. There is outdoor seating on Hope Street, and vegetarian dishes such as jackfruit tacos and halloumi skewers.

5.0Scottish Mixology

An underrated gem that's perfectly located in the city centre. Visited on a quiet lunchtime and had a fantastic meal at an equally fantastic price. Opted for the three beef tacos at £7.50 and they were absolutely flawless - perfect amount of filling, tortillas were soft, toppings were all delicious and the beef itself was superb. Service was friendly and quick, drinks were great, and total bill was only £18. Really hope it does well as it's a really welcome addition to the town.

A very pleasant venue in the city center. A big plus for the decor—this is probably what good clubs in Cuba looked like in the 1950s. Service was quick and friendly. The food was tasty; we had wings, tacos and churrasco, but the portions weren't impressive. We were particularly disappointed with the churrasco—two small cubes of meat on a skewer? We don't recommend this dish.

We had dinner here and it was excellent. All the food was delicious and the cocktails were great. The service was friendly and professional. The prices were good, and it's refreshing to not see service charges - they definitely earned the tip. The place is nicely decorated, so I would definitely recommend this for dinner.

I had a mixed experience at Bizarron Mexican in Glasgow. For starters, I ordered the pulled pork empanadas, but they were quite disappointing. The pastry wasn’t as flaky as expected and had a dense, almost soggy texture, as if it had been frozen and reheated or deep-fried, it was hard to tell. This really impacted the flavor, making the whole dish underwhelming. The pulled pork birria tacos, on the other hand, were excellent. The meat was tender and full of flavor, with just the right amount of cheese. The dipping sauce complemented them perfectly, making for a really enjoyable dish. To drink, I had a Tommy’s Margarita, which had a nice zesty taste—not too strong but well-balanced and refreshing. Service was quick and friendly. The restaurant was very quiet on a weeknight, but I imagine it has a livelier atmosphere on weekends while still keeping a relaxed vibe. Overall, a mix of highs and lows—the birria tacos and margarita were great, but the empanadas didn’t live up to expectations.

food was okay was not warmest but services was really slow even though we pre ordered. some of our party waited almost an hour to be served. I personally wouldn't return. which is a shame as food looks good on other pictures.
