El Chicos - London

I'm visiting after the re-fit and the whole establishment looks brighterI came with a friend on Xmas eve & we enjoyed ourselves.

Seen this restaurant on my way to work and on my way home.

I went in and liked the place right away. we arrived at 22.00 on Saturday night and it was very lively and atmospheric. looks like a great place to have a meal before they get out. unfortunately my experience with eating and the staff was far from so good. ordered a vegan chimichanga and was told by the waitress they were “from vegan options”. When I wanted to make myself clear, she said they could only make me a vegan fajita, mushroom burger or afteros. I decided for the fajita I regretted later than over 50% of the total meal consisted of boiled wobble. (I could have known this from the menu, I didn't read it when I didn't see it as an option before the waitress came.) When the waiter broke out the fajita, something in me had to check with him whether the cheese that accompanied him was vegan. he looked at it and said: no. If they are vegan, they cannot have it” and continue to take away the cheese and sour cream. I am very pleased that he had found a solution when he moved the a few centimeters to my omni friend who had ordered a burger, and said: "But you can eat it" and went away. there was no excuse, there was never a offer to replace the cheese, with, say some more guacuamole (which already came in a ridiculously small part in consideration of the size and cost of the meal), a free something or a few money back. the cocktails were nice.

It is good to see a few vegan options on the menu. stood there for lunch and had a vegan burrito. it was really nice, although there was no substitute cheese. I thought it was a bit on the expensive side (especially for lunch.) they have an breakfast / brunch menu, but there are no vegan options. I was disappointed that we had four plastic straws for our drinks (soft drink plus water of conduct ever) there is a small outdoor area, although it is directly on a main road, so not so nice to sit down. the personal was friendly. it is designed as a bar like a restaurant; it goes for a young party crowd in the evenings. they have music and cocktails etc. it's probably a funny night out when that's your ding. So it's okay, but personally, I'd probably land in a wahaca if I were in the mood for mexicans. it is cheaper and has a better vegan menu.

I'm visiting for the re-fit and the whole facility looks brighter. I came with a friend on the Christmas Eve which we enjoyed. the menu.
