Taquito’s

This is a pretty regular Chipotle-​style burrito place. I was so hungry that I put my scepticism aside, as I know the copies are rarely as good as the original. I was pleasantly surprised though! You’re not getting the quality ingredients (the guac was definitely out of a packet) but the prices reflect the slight budget style of it. I was really impressed with the veggies though, as they were tasty and seemed freshly prepared with care. What bumps this place up a star is the sweetheart service and kind attention of the staff.

As a half Mexican who apparently gets home sick easily while vacationing from Southern California (a few hours drive from Mexico), this place was a welcome sight. Fast, relatively friendly, and very reasonably priced.
I decided to splurge and get a shredded beef quesadilla and my ever disciplined husband got a burrito and told them to hold the meat. You can’t really mess up a bean and rice burrito (well I guess you could but I’d hate to find out who would do such a thing). My quesadilla was large enough for me to split into two meals and a snack! They were almost too generous with the meat.
But let’s talk about the meat and why just four stars are awarded from me. It is not my opinion traditionally spiced. We each pondered after a bite. Was it a hint of curry? Cinnamon? It wasn’t horrible, but it just wasn’t right. My hunger was satisfied. But I was still eager to treat myself to the many options of the real thing once I got home.

For those lost Californians who really need a custom simple… Burrito… With… Chulula sauce… Its simple and tastes just fine for u tell them what u want. If u have a bad burrito its just your inexperience. Not vast choices but basic choices. Not gourmet because burritos are just simple good food.

DELISH! Had the fajita burrito with shredded beef and was extremely pleased.

Taquito’s is the one of the first relatively credible Mexican restaurants to hit burrito-​deprived Victoria (as Barbara K says, there is Loco Mexicana, but let’s not talk about that.). And it’s okay. The ingredients in the burrito I had were fresh and fairly tasty, but overall it was a bit dry too — perhaps some Guacamole at 70 pence extra would have made a difference.
I don’t think the burritos are up there with Chilango’s or Tortilla and I think they may need to consider introducing some cheaper options (burritos start from £5.50) given the many tasty lunch alternatives available nearby (e.g. Tachbrook Street market) for noticeably less, but Taquito’s is a very welcome addition nevertheless. I’ll be back to try some more of their wares and may update my review then.

It is head over heels better than loco mexicano down the street! Haven’t tried the place in victoria station to compare.
So far I have had the burrito and quesadilla, both were delicious.
I had a burrito with shreeded beef which was amazing, almost cinnamony flavor to the beef which was really good. The pico de gallo, and guacamole tasted very fresh, and they warmed up the tortilla decently. I really liked that they asked me if I wanted rice or beans in my burrito, this is an option that not many places give. Of course a pure meat burrito would not be very good.
There are two veg options as well, grilled peppers and onions or courgette and mushrooms.
The quesadilla had grilled chicken which was very tender and juicy.
They do have fresh juices on offer, a little expensive but worth the price as they make it fresh.
There is a breakfast menu with a few things I haven’t seen on offer in other places such as Mexican Sopes. But as they just opened they weren’t actually making them yet.
Will be back to try out the rest of the menu very soon.

It’s way better (and cheaper) then loco mexicana down the street… although I’m not sure how much that says?
From the start a couple of things…
I asked for tacos with corn tortillas, except they were out of corn tortillas. Since I can’t eat flour tortillas I asked for a naked burrito bowl. I was going to eat it there and they presented everything I wanted beautifully on a nice plate and it all looked delicious. When I didn’t know which meat to choose they let me sample. Grilled chicken? delicious. Shredded pork? moist and tender. I ultimately settled for the shredded pork. I will say the menu suggested they had about 5 or 6 different types of meat but really I only saw 3 or 4. Not sure about the rest (I had asked for the shredded chicken but they did not have). I think part of the problem was they had just recently opened when I went so they were still ironing out the kinks so to speak. That being said…
Everything I had was tasty. Meat was tender, salsa was fresh and staff was friendly. My biggest complaint was that the food (meat and refried beans) weren’t hot enough. They were barely warm actually. A large disappointment on a cold winter afternoon. At the end of the meal a man that worked there asked how everything was and I did express to him that the meat and beans weren’t that warm and he didn’t seem overly concerned although he did go talk to someone behind the counter about the temperature.
That being said, I will definitely be giving this place another shot. Mexican is rare in london and this place could be a total gem if it tweaks a few things.
Definitely worth a try!
