I've been in Europe for almost six weeks. London's been my home for five of those six weeks, and I've gotten quite familiar with my little end of the city. I've also been to DF Mexico on Tottenham Court Road four times in those six weeks. Two of those times were within two days of each other.
I'm not necessarily a creature of habit, so if my frequency at DF doesn't say something about the food and drink served there, I don't know what will. When you walk in, you enter a weird Euro-Mexican world. It's like walking into Tijuana Flats, but there's more class and all of the sassy bumper stickers are nowhere to be found. And instead of ordering immediately, you get seated by a host or hostess first. During one of our trips, the host made us dance to get a seat, which was both hysterical and embarrassing. The menu features Anglo-Mexican burritos stuffed with the usual rice and beans, but also Pumpkin Mayo and "crunchy salad" (otherwise known as slaw to Americans). I've had both the pork and chicken burritos, and I personally recommend the chicken (the pork was good, but the chicken is superior). I've also had the Chili Beef Torta, which was so good that it's honestly one of my favorite items on the menu. And always, always get the Chili fries. They're worth the £2.50 extra. However, the piece de resistance of DF Mexico is not a food item, but a beverage. DF prides itself on its frozen margaritas, and that pride is well earned. There are two shots of vodka in each margarita, but the Classic one is the only one strong enough to taste the alcohol. The Raspberry and Hibiscus margarita is fresh and fruity, the Passionfruit is both tart and sweet, and the Classic is so hard that one is way more than enough to make you feel good. In any case, these drinks are very much worth the price and the trip to DF.
