3 /5 pia roxas: Reminded me why I swore not to have Mexican in London. This city does a lot of things brilliantly, Mexican cuisine really just isnt one of them.
Between my friend & I, we had a chili beef naked burrito, a beef birria enchilada, 2 tacos each of chicken tinga & pork pastor. 11ish am on a Tuesday, the pastor was dry, tough and not very tasty. The chicken tinga was juicy but not very tasty.
I appreciated the freshness of the chili beef, grilled with a generous amount of onion, green & red bell pepper. Flavor-wise it was good, I just wished there was more beef so I could taste it more. Together with the rice, the side salad & the beans (a bit salty) it was a solid ok.
The enchiladas looked proper cheesy on the outside. The beef was tasty & not dry. Serving size was outstanding for the price, but again, wish there were more filling.
The guac that came with the tacos (now wonder if we could have asked for some for the burritos) was a bit thin. Chili sauce wasnt very spicy. I actually wonder if they held back in spice for us, but really, there was no heat in that whole meal.
With the outdoor seating, its admittedly a nice spot. May go back for the churros & horchata. Dont travel for it, but ok enough for people already nearby.
