Saturday Lunch

I had a quick Saturday lunch at Tortilla on Southwark Street yesterday. On this occasion the burrito wasn't brilliant, but then it wasn't bad either.

And with that, my three week burrito famine is over...!

Weekdays Only :-(

I walked past newly opened Poncho No.8 last Sunday only to find that (like quite a few of London's burrito places on a weekend) it was shut! According to a recent post on their blog ¿Que Pasa?, the restaurant is only open on Mondays to Fridays between 11:30am and 5pm at present. It suggests that these hours may expand in the future so fingers crossed. Could do with some more weekend choices.

Merry Hill Burritos

WEST MIDLANDS: Nineteen-Ten are due to open their second outlet (and first outside of London) at the Merry Hill Shopping Centre this coming Thursday, October 22nd. Their existing outlet is in Westfield London and while they are by no means the best of the London bunch, this new arrival will at least bring a little piece of Burrito goodness to the Birmingham area.

Tortilla Class

A belated thank you to the guys at Chilango for inviting me to the "Tortilla Class" at Upper Street a few weeks back. Having a look around the kitchen was cool and being taught how to make Tortillas by Angeles Ayala couldn't have been any more different to my average Friday. Thanks guys!
