The burrito has been London's break-out fast food of the past few years. There are dozens of burrito cafés around the city now, including three in a tiny cluster around Goodge Street. But Burrito Bros (the name and font is borrowed from the country-rock band The Flying Burrito Bros) has nothing in the way of local competition. Even so, they're taking things slowly at first: you can get pork, chicken, beef or veggie burritos, three types of salsa (even the mild has considerable bite) and a small selection of drinks. You can eat in the main room downstairs or outdoors in a small garden. Open until 11pm, with cool beers - but no margaritas - sold.

Having tried a huge swathe of the burrito places in London (is that something to admit?!), I think this is by far the best and most authentic. Genuine spice and flavours here not just anglicised texmex-lite. The slow cooked pork is delicious but make sure you try the surprise Friday special sometime. On occasion a little hit and miss but usually an inventive burrito. Ps: if you live 100m from this place you deserve to wait 50mins for delivery, in my opinion.

Oh dear what has happened. Not been for a while. Served tonight by a guy who struggled to wrap the burrito but then said the filling is a bit cold (and it was) so I'll put it in the heater afterwards and thus toasted the bread to the foil! The bad wrapping lead to leakage. Oh dear. £6.50 too now! Not good value at all. Last time. Shame.

I live just around the corner from this place and had been meaning to try it for a while, although generally I prefer to cook my own burritos/fajitas/tacos given how cheap, easy and quick they are to make.

Anyhow, I placed an order at a reasonable 9.30 p.m. for a beef burrito and a side of nachos, totalling just over £12.00.

After 40 minutes of waiting however, nothing. So I called, given that it really only takes 10 minutes to cook a burrito and that I live 100m away. The guy explained that the delivery guy had left 20minutes before.

So I waited still. Eventually afer +50 minutes I get a surly phone call from the delivery guy telling me to come down and get my food.

Was it still warm? No.

Were the nachos soggy? Oh yes.

Will I be ordering from there again? I think not.
