Mexican - Page 3

I went to a Mexican on Upper Street the other day and, while it was guacamoletastic, it wasn't amazing. You never come across a really posh mexican do you? I mean, you can even get a really nice modern curry house but a mexican is always the same.

Mexican takeaway that would be awesome. I've always wondered why there isn't more takeaway places.
So many countrys and dishes and we have:

We have fish and chips, Indian and Chinese. And occasionally a Thai.
How about all the other great foods, there's certainly a gap in the market.

In fact I wish I didn't like such an easy life I'm sure I could make a fortune just setting up a take away pizza place.

We had a gorgeous Brazillian in Chelmsford called Toscana or something. Buffet style sides and they bring around meat on skewers and carve directly onto your plate. It was my fave place and I was gutted when it went

That's the sort of restaurant I was thinking of in Vauxhall. The specific word for them (having spoken to a Portugese colleague who goes to Rio a lot) is Rodizio.

I shall have to go looking again when I'm in London town.

All this talk of takeaways reminds me of the schnellys I used to go to in Germany

Oh schnitzels from the Botan Grill *eyes glaze over*

I'm half tempted to smuggle some Mexican immigrants over and open a proper Mexican restaurant. Proper tasting Mexican food *drools*

It's pretty much what Uncle did for his Thai restaurant in Malton, except all the staff are in the country legally.

The best Mexican I've had has been cooked right here in my kitchen!! I get the tortillas, refried beans, taco seasoning, beef, chicken, lettuce, cheese, guacamole, tomatoes, sour cream and salsa all at work. 15 minutes of cooking time on the cooker and in the nuker, slap the ingredients together, and make a complete mess of yourself!!

Oh, in case you didn't know, if you don't need to change clothes after eating Mexican, you're not eating the real thing!!
