Having started life as a food truck that fed the hungry masses at festivals, The Chili Shack is now doing its spicy Tex-Mex thing in the heart of Galway.  You can get your chili in a bowl, with nachos or rice, and slathered on their crispy skinny fries. They also rustle up a mean burger – the Smoked Bacon & Cheese combo is especially tasty – and go for the culinary jugular with their XXX Hot Wings. A second outlet has just opened in Dublin’s funky Stoneybatter neighbourhood.

Best Dish: Chunky Irish Beef Chili with Basmati Rice – €8
