Comment on The best burritos and tacos in London – 55 burritos, 83 tacos, 59 eateries, one verdict by Geoff

Great reviews & a really useful round-up – as a big fan of Mexico & mexican food it’s always very disappointing to see how bad the vast majority of places are. I’ve always known Mestizo is amazing – but I haven’t tried Santo & Buen Prrovecho so there’s two to add to my list, so thank you!

Just one note though – It’s not correct to say Tacos should be made with corn rather than flour – in Mexico itself they are made with both, and in my experience it’s normally a regional thing. In the north of the country they are more likely to be made with flour; the further south you go corn. Admittedly the corn area is probably much bigger than the flour, but it doesn’t mean flour is inauthentic.

Good to know there are so many places to have proper Mexican food, thanks for the compilation and review! Just to clarify, there is no way anyone in Mexico would have corn on the cob as a dessert. It is a great thing to eat, but it is just not a dessert. Is it actually advertised as such in the menu?

Comment on Rossopomodoro review – is this Covent Garden pizza chain the weakest link? by divinemrsm66

We went there last year before seeing Matilda also. Again – in a bit of a hurry but the food was good in both taste and value. The service was excellent and they were particularly helpful for one of our party who is disabled. I recommend them too. I think they’re opening one this year near me in Wandsworth…hurrah!

I went here a few weeks ago after an increasingly panicked hunt for somewhere to eat before seeing Matilda the Musical. I had to bolt it down but the spicy seafood pasta was genuinely above par for a chain restaurant. Glad you were unexpectedly impressed too!

That’s an extremely exhaustive list but I was very surprised not to see Breddo’s Taco Shack from Netil Market in there. By far and away the best taco I have had in London.
