Qype: El Burrito in London

London - Eating & Drinking - Restaurants - Mexican


Look, I'd never admit it out loud, but I'm no Mexican food connoisseur. My idea of amazing Mexican food is an old el paso burrito/fajita box set with some chicken strips and powdered seasoning. Slap on as much cheese, salsa and guac as I can stuff in there (yes even if all three accompanying every Mexican dish is pure sacrilage) and have an elbow-licking good time.

So given this, I may not be the best to give advice on the best spots to dine Mexican around the capital. But I have visited most and can say that El Burrito certainly hold their own. The Burrito was packed full but not greasy or runny but with a decent pack of flavour in there. As others have said, it's about £4.50 for a tummy-filling burrito, with an extra 50p for guac (a tad annoyingly). I was a little bemused by the dry tortilla chips they throw in the box, not quite sure what to do with them and wishing I had my salsacheeseguac trio to ease my worries but I guess I need to learn some time. Great for a hangover/work lunch hour/something different and affordable.
