Taco Loco LG/F 7 Staunton Street Soho, Central Tel: 2522 0907
Grub: Mexican, tortilla chips, burritos and refried beans.
Vibe: This funky little place is next to the Mid-Levels escalator. Its pink walls and the painted mariachi trumpet player make it easy to spot. Inside is small and laid-back.
Who to bring: Friends with a big appetite - this food can be very filling. If they like spicy food, so much the better, but it isn't all hot. There are also vegetarian options.
What's hot: In Mexican cuisine, a tortilla is a flat bread. The most familiar forms are the taco and the burrito. Tacos can be either hard or soft and are usually made from corn flour. The larger, soft burritos are made from wheat. You can get both here with a variety of fillings and at a range of prices to suit your appetite and your pocket.
I started with a Chilli Verde Chicken hard taco, shredded chicken breast with salad in a mild chilli sauce. It really is very tasty but the taco is brittle, so it breaks easily - I very nearly spilled the filling down my shirt.
