Alamo

Mexican food in Temple Bar

22 Temple Bar
Temple Bar
Dublin
Ireland
+353 1 6776546

This reasonably priced, intimate restaurant in Temple Bar specialises in Mexican food, with a range of burritos, tacos and chili on the menu. The restaurant's interior is kitsch but fun, and it's a great spot for lunch or an early dinner.

International Puppet Festival

Fun for all the family Clifton Lane
Dublin, Co. Dublin
Ireland
+353 1 280 0974
http://www.lambertpuppettheatr... This long-established festival takes place in Monkstown, Co. Dublin, every September and has proven very popular with children and adults alike. Highlights from recent festivals included a new version of Androcles and the Lion, a futuristic piece from Budapest's Mikkropodium Theatre company, and The King With the Donkey's Ears - a re-working of an Irish legend by the festival's founders, the marvelous Lambert Puppet Theater. The festival also plays host to a number of practical workshops. Check out the festival website for further updates or ring them, as the dates are liable to change, although the festival will take place in mid-September.

Poco Loco

Cheerful Mexican cuisine 32 Parliament Street
Dublin
Ireland
+353 1 679 1950 A long-established fixture on the outskirts of Temple Bar, Poco Loco is a (relatively) cheap and cheerful Mexican restaurant, serving a good selection of tapas and authentic main courses in an informal but very atmospheric setting. It's a lively, colourful place and seems particularly popular with larger groups, although the service hasn't got a great reputation. The restaurant also boasts a fully-licensed bar and operates a takeaway service during week days.

Thunder Road Café

American kitsch Fleet Street
Temple Bar
Dublin, Leinster
Ireland
+353 1 679 4057
http://www.thunderroadcafe.com/ The Thunder Road Café is one of the few American-themed restaurants in Dublin and even boasts a Harley Davidson parked in its entrance foyer. Very popular with office parties, it's not uncommon to see both the customers and staff up dancing on the long tables by the window. The Tex-Mex food is perhaps a little overpriced but the emphasis here is on fun rather than sophistication.
