"Authentic Mexican? Not sure, but it's good enough for me."

A review of Exquisite by Charlie written on Wednesday 19th of March 2008

We've been to Exquisite 4 times as we live just round the corner. We've always been impressed by the welcome (free little bowl of nachos with houmous!), and the food. I've twice had lamb fajitas - delicious, juicy strips of meat sizzling on a hot plate. I've also tried the quesadillas and burritos and never been disappointed. I asked for extra tortillas for my fajita, which were £2-ish on the menu but they didn't add them to the bill, and generally it's good value with plenty of dishes under a tenner, plus a big discount if you go in the early evening. Best value is probably a small (still a decent portion) vegetarian burrito for about 6 quid. My girlfriend is obsessed with the artichoke version (though I tasted hers and felt there was fur left on the artichokes, but that was probably just a one-off). The mojitos aren't too bad either, and there's a reasonable choice of Mexican beers - Dos Equis is nicest. The atmosphere can feel a bit stark until it fills up, but there's usually a decent crowd, which is saying something since the other restaurants on that stretch of Blackstock Road can be empty even at weekends. This repeat custom speaks volumes..
