mrfrisky wrote on 14-03-2011 “What's even better than a new burrito place opening up in London? Well, not much really. Adobo at Holborn is a brand new place, independent of the other burrito shop clusters (because "chain" has to wrong connotations, I think) we know and love, and it's this independence that gives them a chance...” 4 more...

El Mexicana

mrfrisky wrote on 16-04-2012 “Atmosphere-free refit of an atmosphere-free refit of a former Pret: El Mexicana seems to churn out a solid burrito, although doesn't come near some of its neighbours. Nevertheless, the Barbecoa meat was flavoursome and mid-way between dry & moist. The wrap was performed a little naively and felt...” 3 more...

A kebab can get you through in a tight situation. Pasties are quite popular, and that's just a Cornish pizza that's been folded in half. And I ain't met nobody who...” 4 more...

By far, my favorite burrito joint in London… and apparently other people’s favorite too (the queue was lengthy). Still, for American expats craving the Mexi-Cali tastes of Chipotle, go to Benito’s Hat around the corner...” 5 more...

My learned burrito-eating work colleague and I keenly ventured through Soho in search of this place, and he was initially optimistic about it, saying that it had an authentic taqueria feel about it. I mused...” 1 more...
