The Ongoing Quest for Good Mexican Food

One of the biggest cravings I get over here is for good Mexican food. It isn't too hard to find burritos and tacos, but Tamales and Chile Rellenos are pretty scarce.





This has led to our small family of resident ex-pats to seek out the latest places offering mexican food as they appear.




Most recently, our quest led us to El Camino in Soho. It wasn't bad, and was actually quite good as a Burrito/Taco "Hot Sauce Head" hangout.








Our expectations were peaked when we saw their entire walls were covered with Hot Sauces.







This made me think of my friend, JD, back in LA who makes his own hot sauce and sells it at Whole Foods. Go pick up a bottle and support him!







Though they don't serve the more unusual Mexican Foods that I look for, they did have a good Carnitas Burrito, and some good looking mini Tacos. We got a good laugh out of how small they were. We also had a lot of fun with the different Hot Sauces including one that is called "Pure Cap".




Though lacking in the Margarita Department (I'm still on a quest to find a really good one in London), the chips, salsa, and guacamole were quite satisfying.
