Best Mexican in London so far.....
I'm quite skeptical about most Mexican food in London, simply because I grew up in a part of the U.S. where you can find really decent independent Mexican restaurants run by actual Mexicans. Therefore, I avoid most purported 'Mexican' chain restaurants as they are usually crap.
I was pleasantly surprised by Desperados, even with the fairly cheesy decor. Dimly lit, cowhides on the walls, faux 'rustic', you've seen it before. Desperados has two dining rooms and bars. It's the upper level that adds a bit of a twist--apparently in an effort to use all the space available, about half the tables are only accessible by going up an individual ladder to your booth! Ladies, don't wear a skirt, and no one should drink too many alcoholic beverages when sitting up there--it's an accident waiting to happen. Still makes it interesting though.
On to the food. I've been to this place twice and both times the food was excellent. Properly done nachos, yummy enchiladas, juicy steaks. Service has always been good. Full drinks menu with many cocktails to try. Prices are pretty reasonable with most dishes under 10. If you're in Greenwich and want Mexican, avoid Cafe Sol like the plague and go to Desperados instead!
