There's a great one in Leicester Square. Can't remember the name, but its maHOOsive, its on two floors with a bar downstairs. Had a fabularse tex mex mix in there once.

Don't go to Cafe Sol in Greenwich.

El Panzon in Brixton is the best I know.

Yes THATS the one.
Couldn't fault it. Food and service were great.

Nice work guys! I like the sound of the maHOOsive one in Leicester Sq, really I would like it to be strictly a Mexican eatery.

Barnet, what was up with the Cafe Sol?

Indeed.

The food snobs will no doubt heap SCORN on our endorsement of this establishment but I LIKE IT

If it likes the one in Clapham, they've turned their business towards being a late night drinks place and the food is rubbish

I think you may have a point Clapham these reviews say its got a bit big for its own boots! Chiquito Mexican Grill & Bar London - Mexican Restaurant Review and Information
Oh yea and I need a decent veggie option.......

It's just pretty shoddy quality compared to other mexicans around.

Obviously I'd advise against Leicester Square for all the usual reasons.

I know theres a couple of mexican places in Islington and one down Shoreditch way which are always rammed too, but I've never felt compelled to interrupt my drinking with a cheeky burrito

Shoreditch one is the Green & Red Bar & Cantina

Islington: Mucho Mas and Tortilla where the places I was thinking about. There's also Desperados - which I can't remember.

there used to be a very good one off Charing Cross Road, on the left side, a dead end street. Great food and associated party.

Generally, I don't feel that mexican is a good food night out, just an alternate to eating hot food, lots of beer, tequila and stuning waitresses aiming to get you drunk and poor




bit like your average steriotype of an Mexican bloke?

 

[JBizzleBeard]

Man, now i'm getting hungry. I could sure go for some Enchiladas right this second!!

They are also one of those places that cater for cheap office dos and hen parties.

If you want a nice meal and a pleasant night out avoid like the plague

Darn it, there must be a completely awesome Mexican restaurant in London surely!!

I went to Mestizo a few weeks ago, it looks a bit poncy but the food was top notch.
