Finding a decent tex-mex style restaurant in the UK is by no means easy. There are now branches of Chilis, but individual restaurants tend to be a bit restrained. I suspect that it is hard for them to find the right ingredients, and I'm sure that, despite the British love for Indian food, the spice level in Mexican gets toned down.
Paris Texas is unfortunately placed, about half way between the centres of Brighton and Hove. It is a bit far from my hotel to go of an evening, and a bit far from all of the various night-spots for drop-in traffic. However, it looks good, and on the couple of occasions I have dropped in for lunch the food has been excellent.
On this particular trip I had the pasta in a cream, garlic, mushroom and chorizo sauce. This is a simple and easy way of spicing up a standard pasta dish, and something that I may well try myself. I have also had the nachos, which were wonderful. I was quite surprised by this and sat down to try to work out why they were so much better than what I was used to in the US. The answer, of course, is in the cheese. Instead of the usual insipid orange soap that you get in America the chef had used sharp Cheddar for bite and Red Leicester for flavour. It worked very well.
This is definitely a place to come back to, preferably for an evening meal. I'm itching to try to try the blacked steak and the ribs.
The price quoted is for the set lunch plus beer. Dinner is more expensive.
