We tried the town's top-rated takeaway, Bandidos, and one dish truly stole the show. Fish and chips, Indian, Chinese... Mexican? It might not be the most traditional choice, but Bandidos has climbed to the top of Tripadvisor's rankings for food delivery in Folkestone, so it was worth a try. The knock on the door arrived early, and the food was handed over in a hot bag, a good sign. Once laid out, we were blown away by the generous portion sizes. The menu offered a variety of enticing dishes. We opted for a large 'beer chilli' nachos, fire-roasted chilli wings, a chicken and chorizo burrito, chicken enchiladas, and three extra dips at £1.50 each. I dove into the burrito (£12.95), a burst of flavors with smooth guacamole, tender chicken, and a salty chorizo kick. The nachos (£14.45) were a king-size bed of soft nachos with crumbly beef chilli, guacamole, and sour cream, a bit of a puzzle with the optional cheese addition. The chilli wings (£6.45) were crisp, tender, and smothered in a sweet, smoky barbecue sauce. The enchiladas (£14.45) were a mouthful of molten cheese and shredded chicken, a bit too much to tackle with the chunky chips. The overall taste was authentic, a far cry from supermarket spice mixes. As for the dining experience, Bandidos offers a dilemma: order too early, and the kids are awake; too late, and you're too full to sleep. We ordered too early, reading 'The Tiger Who Came to Tea' between bites. Still, it sparked an appetite for a proper visit to Bandidos restaurant, eager to explore tacos, fajitas, and mojitos. Ratings: Food: ***, Drink: N/A, Decor: ** (our kitchen's ambiance), Staff: *** (easy online ordering, slightly early delivery), Price: £54.30 for the lot, but you can get your fill without breaking the bank.
