Chilango on Upper Street is an excellent Mexican restaurant, formerly known as Mucho Mas, which brings the same concept as the popular American chain, Chipotle to the UK. You can get a classic burrito filled with
meat or veg, green rice, beans, cheese or sour cream with fresh salsa
and lettuce. Pick a hot salsa to finish and you've got a meal that puts a
bland sandwich in the shade. All the food is prepared on the premises
in the open kitchen where you can see the marinated chicken, or juicy
steak grilled right there in front of you. As well as burritos there are
tacos (three soft corn tortillas), salads on a bed of lettuce and
totopos (tortilla chips topped with cheese, beans, meat and salsa) on
the menu. And the name? Chilango is Mexican slang for someone who's
moved to the bright lights of Mexico City looking for fun and adventure.
Looks like we've found the London equivalent.
