"Not to do SE8 dirty, but there’s something a little Pleasantville about La Chingada’s spot in Surrey Quays. The Mexican taqueria is a grenade of colour and vibrancy on an otherwise nondescript road. The tacos it makes act in much the same way. The al pastor, chunks of glistening marinated pork with onion and punches of green and red salsa, plus a sweet sliver of pineapple, is good. But it’s the suadero taco (confit beef brisket with onion, coriander, and a dash of deep brown habanero salsa) and the chorizo taco—a vehicle for vivid red sausage—that are your essential orders." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
