What the creator captured
Harrison Webb was profoundly impressed by the restaurant's ability to recreate authentic Mexican flavors using British ingredients, comparing the experience to the culinary magic of Heston Blumenthal. His standout moment was the langustine taco paired with a strawberry hibiscus drink, which he rated a perfect five out of five. He was particularly shocked by a hemp seed dish that tasted exactly like guacamole despite containing no avocado.

Local tips
- Always stand on the right side of escalators in the Underground to allow commuters to pass on the left.
- Pay for all public transport using a contactless card or mobile device, as buses do not accept cash.
- Check both directions when crossing the street and look for 'Look Left' or 'Look Right' markings on the pavement.
- Tipping is generally expected at around 10-12.5% in sit-down restaurants, but check if a service charge is already included in the bill.
