Don't be foiled again by UK promises of decent burritos--Chipotle is here to the rescue!

We’re slated for April 2010, which gives us just enough time to shed our Christmas weight-gain so we can justify those mammoth-sized burritos. This is so glorious, when good Mexican food—or, at least, the American take on Mexican food—can be difficult enough to find in the UK (see our previous blog posts Quest For a Decent Taco: Parts Uno and Dos. A worthy substitute, if not contender, however, has been Chilango, although there are only a couple locations in existence in the London area right now on Fleet Street in the City and Upper Street in Angel, Islington. It is because of Chilango’s scarcity and the huge demand for a Chipotle-type burrito that lines literally form outside of Chilango’s door, and you’re better off ordering in advance.
Perhaps London Relocation Ltd. will be able to find you a London property within good commuting distance of this Mexican fast-food oasis. At any rate, we wish you sweet dreams as visions of refried beans and tortillas dance in your head

I have been reading a lot of reviews of Chipotle in London and so far the comparisons of the Americans inLondon that it is not as good as the ones in the US. Have not tried it yet but is it because they can’t replicate the recipes?
Hi, Julie! You know, I’m not sure why it would be different…with all my excitement over Chipotle coming here, I still haven’t checked it out to take the taste test and am not sure if I’d know the difference since it’s been so long since I’ve had the original. I’ll have to go there soon before my next trip home so I can do a relatively side-by-side comparison
