Where To Eat With A Third-Tier Friend - London - The Infatuation

"La Chingada adds colour and flavour to a surreptitious location in that dingy middle area between Euston and King’s Cross—which is an accurate reflection of this no-man's-land friendship. It’s the perfect combination of a middle-ground location and a casual restaurant, that doesn’t say you don’t care, but it doesn’t say you care that much either. The warm, comfortable space with multicoloured murals and two long banquettes, is ideal for speed-eating a beef burrito. And as long as whoever you’re with likes Mexican food, it’s impossible not to enjoy their juicy al pastor. But you’ll know what they can and can’t eat anyway, right?" - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna, rianne shlebak
