Mexican fast food place on Southwark Street in [[Locale Bankside|Bankside]]. It's the second opening in a small chain, with other branches in [[Locale Islington|Islington]], [[Locale Canary Wharf|Canary Wharf]], and Oxford Circus. They claim to offer California-style Mexican food, rather than TexMex. [[secretlondon]] has been twice now — once on a weekday evening and once on a weekday lunchtime. The atmosphere is quite fast food like; it reminds me of Subway with a hint of Nandos. You queue up at the canteen-style counter and get your food made in front of you from a variety of pre-prepared fillings. At the end of the chain you pay and are given your food in a metal basket to take to one of the wooden benches. If you choose an unlimited drink you are given a cup to take to the dispenser. Cutlery is plastic if you require it — there are no plates. The first time I visited I had a burrito. You have a choice of fillings — meat from three options, two types of rice, two types of beans, three types of salsa. Steak and guacamole are extra. The chicken burrito was okay (about £6) <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/secretlondon/3572787180/ photo]</small> but the medium chilli was unexciting. For my second visit I had tacos — two tortillas with steak and hot chilli. This was more interesting and seemed better value. Since it was lunchtime, the unlimited soft drink was only 40p rather than £1-something too. There is pop/rock background music. They are licenced — they sell premixed margaritas out of a machine, as well as some bottled beers. In May 2009 they were advertising five bottles of Corona and a bowl of tortilla chips for £20. <div class="getting_here"><b>Getting here:</b> It's on the ground floor of the Blue Fin building with its entrance onto the street. It is on the part of Southwark Street nearer Blackfriars Road than London Bridge.</div> See also: * [http://www.viewlondon.co.uk/restaurants/tortilla-review-54107.html View London review] <div class="last_verified">Last visited by [[secretlondon]], May 2009.
