Do you have a food which is your absolute go-to when you're hungover? Because mine is definitely Mexican. All that spice...and guac...and cheese! And of all the Mexican dishes..tacos are my favourite. Seriously - what's not to love about soft, pillowy tortillas stuffed with spicy, fragrant fillings?
Tacos are having a bit of a 'moment' in London at the moment and I've found another great place where you can get your fix - at one of London more authentic Mexican offerings: Lupita West.
There are three Lupita branches across London (in Shoreditch, Soho and Kensington) and they specialise in serving traditional Mexican dishes, using only the freshest, high-quality ingredients.
You'll find a whole host of authentic Mexican recipes on the menu including enchiladas, burritos and spicy chicken tinga - plus some killer margarita cocktails.



Each bite packed incredible flavour - from the flakey white fish through to the bites of red cabbage slaw and mango salsa. Simply delicious. 

Our final dish was my favourite - the gobernador prawn tacos. A protein-packed taco stuffed with grilled prawns, melted cheese, chipotle mayo and a punchy pico de Gallo. You get three per serving and I promise you'll want to polish off every last one.
To round off our meal, we finished with a delicious and traditional Mexican sponge Tres Leches which is made using condensed milk, evaporated cream and heavy cream.
It looks (and sounds) like it would be really heavy but the sponge is surprisingly light and fluffy and really, really delicious. The perfect way to end an epic Mexican feast!

I've missed decent Mexican food and still haven't really found it here in the UK! I might try this out soon!
