We have come to the conclusion that it is virtually impossible to get decent Mexican food here in the UK. It is either more Spanish in nature, probably because of our neighboring country being so close, or just not good at all!! We have yet to get the melty ooey gooey cheese covered burritos and enchiladas that we all know and love from back home. You can also forget the notion of free chips and salsa. The chips are store bought and the salsa tastes like it too. We did have some decent guacamole though at the restaurant here in Sevenoaks called Zapata. The decor there was pretty mexican, but it definitely was not the cheesy decorations, christmas lights and maracas with bright colors like some of our favorite places. We also went to London the other weekend and was told of a Tex Mex place in Leicester Square, so we tried it out. Now it was definietly a little close to what we are used to, but still not the same. We have given up and have been satisfying our cravings at home with homemade tacos and burritos. We have even come up with a really good recipe for margaritas! We made some the other night. Fresh lime juice, orange juice, ginger ale and of course tequila. If it is too tart , add some splenda or sugar. When we come back in town don't be surprised if we suggest Mexican, so don't fill up on it the week before we get there. Here are some pics of our mexican tour! I can't wait to actually go to Mexico and get the real thing!
