Pellizco
South Yorkshire, Sheffield - Mexican - Restaurant - £
An inventive take on Mexican food in suburban Sheffield
A sunny courtyard in Sharrow Vale makes the ideal setting for a vibrant menu of Mexican favourites (with a few twists thrown in). Inside, the restaurant's colourful decor positively encourages a casual vibe, as do the ‘helpful, polite and friendly’ staff. Initially a street-food vendor operating out of a trailer, Pellizco settled into its Dyson Place home in 2022. Many have praised its ‘inventive’, regularly changing dishes, which showcase the best of Mexico’s flavour wheel – don't miss the incredible beef ‘quesabirria’ quesadillas. Our ‘habanero hot honey chicken’ was succulent, with a properly crispy, gently fiery coating, while a subtly sweet spring onion crema complimented it beautifully. Elsewhere, the ‘gringa al pastor’ (pork ribeye quesadilla) was the definition of ‘ugly delicious’: the pineapple drizzle on top did nothing to improve its looks but really lifted its hefty, cheesy filling.

Elsewhere, the ‘gringa al pastor’ (pork ribeye quesadilla) was the definition of ‘ugly delicious’: the pineapple drizzle on top did nothing to improve its looks but really lifted its hefty, cheesy filling. We also liked the fish taco (super-fresh coley in the crispiest batter imaginable) served in a soft but sturdy corn taco, while a crunchy tostada with guacamole, discs of radish and precisely cubed sashimi-grade tuna had crunch, creaminess and a good dose of umami from the light soy and sesame marinade.
For dessert, churros are served with a dark chocolate sauce made by Sheffield’s own chocolatiers, Bullion. To drink, Pellizco's cocktails are a must (tequila and mezcal are a speciality), or you can dip into the brief list of wines from Spanish-speaking countries.

Wonderful dining experience, we went while quiet but have seen the atmosphere is buzzing in the tastefully decorated restaurant when it's busy. The food was outstanding, service was attentive and cocktails were addictive. The Quesabirria, range of salsas and Pinacoladaritas were standout. The menu is well thought out with a great range of options. Highly recommend for an authentic mexican fix.
