Hoorah! A good Mexican restaurant in London. Why are there so few in this city?
itsbruce visited this restaurant with some colleagues on 12th November 2008 to check out their lunch deal, which offers a choice of "Big Bowl of Soup with a Quesidilla" or a burrito, with a (non-alcoholic) drink, for £5. The burritos were very tasty, a good size and well presented. All who attended will happily go back. The food took a while to arrive but this may be because we were the first customers of the day.
The regular menu includes burritos (mostly £7.50 or £8.50), tortas (£6.50 to £8.50), bowls of stew/rice/beans (£4 to £8), quesadillas (£5.50) as well as salads and side dishes. One or two vegetarian options are available in each category and they have a children's menu. They also do takeaway and on weekends they offer a breakfast menu, so I will be coming back to try their Huevos Rancheros.
The venue itself is plainly but pleasantly decorated, with seating for about thirty people inside as well as a bar and outside seating. Warning: it is not well heated, so dress warmly if visiting in cold weather.
