Corrochio's Cantina

Corrochio's - Review - Dalston - London - The Infatuation

"Corrochio's is Dalston’s answer to a pre-night out restaurant. It should be the first stop on a bar crawl that ends in Mascara Bar at 3am. And even if you swiftly delete all evidence from your Instagram stories in the morning, you won’t be sorry you went to this fun Mexican restaurant. Tables are strewn with empty margarita glasses, laughter drowns out the music, and on sunny days the plant-covered terrace out front feels like the place to be. If you’re with a group and inside, we highly suggest sweet-talking the staff for one of the comfy booths. photo credit: Corrochio's photo credit: Corrochio's photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch We prefer the brunch menu because you can get the best thing here—the chilaquiles. The corn tortilla chips—some still crispy, some soggy after soaking up moreish salsa verde—come topped with tender shredded chicken, gooey cheese, and rings of crunchy red onion. The fried egg on top dribbles into the refried beans and the whole thing mixes together to make a messy, delicious bite. Hot sauce is optional but encouraged. The brunch menu also has tortas. It’s hard to find a great Mexican torta in London but this submarine-size roll is a good one. The tacos are pretty good, but you’ll find better elsewhere in London, so stick to rounds of topped chips and margaritas. photo credit: Corrochio's photo credit: Corrochio's" - Sinéad Cranna
