Hola foodies, are you ready to take your taste buds on a journey to the sun-soaked Mexican shores? Well, it's not quite Cancun, but Southen-on-Sea is home to one of our favourite independent restaurants, Pieno-Lleno.

Keep on reading to find out all about this spicy little gem...

Mexico meets Southend.

Picture this: as you step into the cosy restaurant, you're instantly transported to the vibrant streets of Mexico. Fragrant spices float through the air, colourful Talavera tiles decorate the well-stocked bar, and playful Sombreros hang proudly from the walls, setting the stage for a truly immersive dining experience. Plus, when the sun shines on Southend, you can sit outside and soak up the rays – it's the perfect place for a foodie fiesta.

A foodie fiesta.

Now, let's talk about the menu... It's packed with all your Mexican favourites and a few Italian special guests (a little unconventional but perfect for those who can't handle the heat).

Vegetarians and vegans, you're in for a treat too! There are tons of plant-based dishes on offer, like the spicy goodness of the Cajun Mushroom Fajitas. And for those steering clear of gluten, fear not – there's a dedicated menu to cater to your dietary needs.
