Qype: Tortilla in London

London - Eating & Drinking - Restaurants - Mexican


Mexican eateries have bred like rabbits throughout London - and if you can't match or better what's already out there, you're doing Londoners a bit of a disservice.

I was thrilled to bits as I saw this joint being tediously put together down the road from my work - cutting the closest Mexican hit from a 15 min walk to a 3 min walk would be a.m.a.z.i.n.g.

But alas. The burrito that was spawned by Tortilla was under par, woefully disappointing. The sour cream was watered down to the consistency of milk. The black beans were swimming in water and slapped together with my usual favourite of pork and completely unspicy medium salsa, resulted in a big bag of liquid that continoulsy trickled through my tin foil as I hate it - luckily in-house.

My friend had gone for the 'hot' salsa and still we doused both in a bottle of chilly sauce we found off to the side. The staff seemed a bit disinterested in being there and altogether the experience was a let down.

Until something drastic happens I'm resigned to a fifteen minute walk to get some 'proper' Mexican food.
