Pellizco

South Yorkshire, Sheffield - Mexican - Restaurant - £

An inventive take on Mexican food in suburban Sheffield

Overall Rating: Good

Uniqueness:Does the establishment stand out in the context of the local area? Very Good

Deliciousness:How delicious is the food? Very Good

Warmth:How warm is the service and the hospitality in general? Good

Strength of recommendation:How enthusiastically and widely would you recommend the establishment? Very Good

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.

From being founded in Sheffield, to using local produce, and collaborating with other businesses in Sheffield, Pellizco really is a true Sheffield business.

Many other businesses know who they are whilst as a customer I have been able to experience and learn about other businesses through Pellizco. They have grown through the city as a street-food trader in a trailer, to a stall in Cutlery Works and now a restaurant in Dyson Place. They have been loyal to Sheffield and to their customers and try to incorporate local food into the style of their cooking.
