New Opening

London's newest burrito place has opened up in Clerkenwell. Burrito Bros is located at 17 Clerkenwell Road and seems to be open on weekdays only. A couple of web reviews have suggested that it's not all that but I will reserve judgement until I get to try them out.

Walked past there yesterday and grabbed this snap.

Chilango | Upper St

A late lunch today at Chilango in Angel, Islington.

Very much up to standard and I do like their hot salsa, it's quality. Enjoyable burrito that gets a well deserved 8/10. If only it had been a little bigger it would have scraped a 9. I'm pretty sure there were different sizes available when it was called Mucho Mas.

I like this branch of Chilango. Consistently good and generally better than the Fleet St branch.

Burritos and Tacos in London

First Post - London Burrito Blog

My search to find the best burritos in London and around the UK.

With new restaurant openings and the apparent imminent arrival of Chipotle, the chances of enjoying a good burrito in London are improving.

I became a huge burrito fan during regular trips to California. Wondering if I could satisfy my burrito cravings back in England I began researching places in London. I visited Mucho Mas (since renamed Chilango) in Islington in January 2009 and have been munching on good, mediocre and bad burritos almost weekly ever since.

I'm starting this blog to follow my ongoing mission to find the best burrito in London and the UK.

Here's a recent story from Time Out London to kick off...
