Damian Stafford asks: are there any Hispanic restaurants in London or the south east that you’d particularly recommend?
Eddie replies:
This is a difficult one. What do you mean by Hispanic? Do you mean Central American and Mexican – Tacos, Burritos etc. Most of them are actually Tex Mex and are not authentic. Wacha in Covent Garden is ok.
If you mean South American, it boils down to Cuban, Argentinean and Brazilian.
Argentina is well served by El Gaucho – a chain of expensive up market steak houses. Re Brazilian, try Rodizio Rico on Upper St in Islington, its a meat eater’s paradise. Re Cuban, try La Bodeguita del Medio in Kensington.
Personally, I like the Brazilian. It’s not easy to get in!
