Cantina Laredo to open in the UK

They don't have the best food, but it can only be better than the Texas Embassy.

Cool! Mexican food is kind of trendy at the moment, so we have a decent selection now in London... but Cantina would be great, especially if they open outlets outside of London... Salisbury could use a good Mex restaurant! Some of the other 'mexican' places have weird stuff on the menu... like hoisin duck fajitas. They seem to group mexican in with bbq/burgers/cajun... which just makes me slightly cranky.

My favourite place is Wahaca. Cheap and tasty! Mmmmm!

My co-worker, who is an 'American' fast food/snack/soda junkie is all excited because Taco Bell is now back in the UK.
Only one store open for testing, due to expand nationwide if all goes well.

Oh it's here, you just have to know wher to look. Like Amy said, it's pretty trendy at the moment so places are popping up. But there have always been a few that have been excellent.

There's one in Hitchin that's pretty good. So good, in fact, with fajitas that I think they'd stand up to anyone's. And they know how to make a margarita; that's the true test.
