Chido Wey
Bristol, United Kingdom
The read// why locals go
Chido Wey is a Cali-Mexican taco kitchen on Old Market Street, the kind of independent Bristol24/7 puts on its cheap-eats list rather than its special-occasion one. The signature tacos are the reason to come: Mexico City street cooking read through a Californian lens, made to order and priced so a full lunch does not feel like an event. It sits in St Jude's, an unshowy corner east of the centre where rents are low enough for small owner-run places to take a chance, and the room follows suit — counter energy, a short cocktail list off to one side, no ceremony. Come for the tacos, stay if the salsa demands a second round.
