I wanted to like Green and Red, really I did. I love Mexican food, and I'd heard such promising things about this place, that I decided to go and check it out, with a view to having my birthday there. Margaritas at the bar were pretty good, and while we drank them we paid for some chips and salsa to keep us going. Twenty minutes later, still waiting,and we ask the waitress to seat us so we can order food. The food, which arrived after a lengthy delay, was good, but we had to ask 5 members of staff about the chips. The service really lets this place down - I felt like the whole meal I was trying to catch their attention, and it really soured my experience. For the prices they're charging, this place really needs to up its game, as the service is appalling and I won't be back. Also, there's no way that a meal for two, with drinks and service is £30-closer to £60.]]> Thu, 19 Jul 2007 18:48:17 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1o1298a/green-and-red-bar-and-cantina/1n23i81725350881 babybat 51.523706 -0.074814 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1o1298a/green-and-red-bar-and-cantina/1s51x8

We went here for food (there is a sit-down restaurant as well as the bar) and were quite pleased. The menu is impressive - no taco or burrito nonsense that dominates "Mexican" cuisine in London. The pork ribs & belly we had were slightly overcooked and dry but the green salsa, refried beans and the mini-tortilla pancakes that came with it were superb. Guacamole was good quality too, if a little too much lime.

I would rate this four-star but it loses one star for the very loud music in the restaurant section - it always makes eating less pleasurable and means you have to shout to make yourself heard. They should save the music just for the basement.]]> Thu, 22 Mar 2007 11:26:05 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1o1298a/green-and-red-bar-and-cantina/1s51x81078384493 qwghlm 51.523706 -0.074814 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1o1298a/green-and-red-bar-and-cantina/1931z8

This tequila bar is right in the centre of 'happening' east london - and deservedly so. An interesting mix of informal restuarant upstairs and a basement bar with cool tunes. Good place for a birthday gathering.]]> Sun, 25 Feb 2007 13:32:55 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1o1298a/green-and-red-bar-and-cantina/1931z8805346494 temple_drake 51.523706 -0.074814
