Gotta love the donkey! 16th May 2008

As a north American expat in London I've quite often despaired of the lack of good Mexican food (which can be found everywhere in the US and Canada). Lucky for me my office moved right near the Leather Lane market - and my romance with 'Daddy D' begun! Yes it's a little bit on the pricey side for a quick workday lunch but the burros, fajitas, quesos, salads and tacos are always delicious and freshly made - and you can customise to your heart's delight with salsa from mild to extra hot, guac, cheese and sour cream. I love the veggie fajitas the best with lots of black beans and red peppers. Mmmmmmm.... lovely friendly staff too. Yay donkey!

Lovely food but... 20th February 2008

I've not eaten at the Donkey all that much, but it's always a filling experience.

A couple of gripes though: why is the guac a £1 extra? 20p or 50p I can see, especially as the burros are around £5.50 each anyway.

Also, last time I went their tortilla chips were home made and amazing. Today's were a bag of Sainsbury's own plain tortilla chips in a paper bag. Not all that bad if they weren't £1.75 / bag.

Good food, but they need to watch the extras.

Mmmm, these burritos fill the void in my stomach left when I moved from Austin, Texas.

This has got to be one of the best lunchtime finds! If you are anywhere near Leather lane market it just has to be tried.

Huge portions, really tasty & freshly cooked. Choose your filling from chicken, steak, beef mince, pork or vegetarian and enjoy this delicious if messy delight.

If you have a tendency to get food everywhere, just skip on the salsa to save yourself from the worst of the leakage!

Delicioso Lunchtime Burritos 1st March 2007

There are days when only a tasty Mexican lunch will do - there really isn't nearly enough good (or even bad) Mexican in London, but this lunch spot, if you can get there in your lunchtime, is a must. The food is fresh, fast and authenic - and the serve really generous serves.
The atmosphere in the Leather Lane Market is also a nice change from being deskbound, even if some cheap clothes, accessories, fruit etc aren't on the agenda.
You can sit at tables next to the 'burro bunker', but note these babies are massive and messy, so may go down nicely when you get back to your desk.
The menu is simple - just Burritos and Fajitas, with chicken, beef or vegetarian fillings. Both can also be ordered in a bowl if you're avoiding breads, served like a salad. Delicious black beans, perfect coriander-lime rice and yummy fresh produce all-round.
Best you get there early to beat the rush!
