There's
a fine line between chimichanga and chimichanguh-oh.
And Mexican Restaurants are pretty much notorious
for occasionally getting it shockingly wrong.

Take
Margarita Loca on Battersea Park Road, where
the tables come festooned with sombreros, the
walls are kaleidoscopic kitsch (and not in a
good way), and the staff clearly do not take
their thematic headwear to heart. Cue surly
looking women in devil horns and resentful blokes
peering out from under Pirate hats. Olé. Or
not.
Whilst we still love Wahaca,
those unfunny queues are now driving us Citywards
and into the welcoming embrace of Chilango.
The décor here is reminiscent of Dylan's
Candy Bar in New York, with neon bright
stools and colourful circular wall decals; an
open kitchen lets you pick ingredients for fast
and fresh burritos, tacos and salads; and cartoon
wrestlers inject some mucha lucha spirit.

For
the official launch this Friday, they've
hooked up live wrestlers and a mariachi
band for the entertainment, as well as
free burritos and Corona for the select
few. And not a sombrero in sight. Well,
maybe just a couple.
