Mexican food in London

Mexican food in London

Why is it so hard to get our tastebuds on decent Mexican food in London? Yes, Wahaca is a great new addition to Covent Garden, but what about some lovely spicy grub on the fly? Since the now legendary Beach Burrito closed down it's been really hard to find anywhere which will serve you something spicy and covered in cheese and guacamole for under a tenner! So give us your tips, your recipes, your secret South American-themed haunts and sate our craving for everything Mexican.

Best new Mexican in London?

    Not yet… but I HIGHLY recommend The Dogstar in Brixton; it’s a mexican/pub/dance venue - outstanding burittos the way you want them for only £5

    I just went to Tortilla, across the street from Angel tube stop. It’s fast-food style. They made me a yummy burrito and a frozen margarita. If only I had a frozen margarita machine at my house on these hot days….

    Ah… I know the one you mean - damn it, should’ve got a review in! It’s a really, really tasty burritto they serve up there, kinda subway method but with double the style and yum factor!

    I’ve heard of this place before too, gets a lot of love from ex-pat Yanks in London.

    I’m thinking we might need to organise some kind of Qype Mexican restaurant Crawl in the near future?

    Mexican restaurant crawl sounds like a great night out :) I’m there, just say when!

    Angel seems to be good for Mexican. Not tried Tortilla yet, but Mucho Mas is just up the road and good and cheap.

    Not really new, but I just added a review for this place: http://www.qype.co.uk/place/239035-Mexifresh-London

    Not as good or as authentic as Wahaca in Covent Garden - but still a great Mexican takeaway and the best one I’ve found locally.

    Benitos Hat on Tottenham Court Rd is the way to go for life-changing, lip smacking burritos!

    Bronwyn - we did an event there recently. Free burritos and margaritas for all the Qypers. It was great :)
