La Chingada Euston
Included In
Like its original spot in Surrey Quays, La Chingada adds colour and flavour to a surreptitious location in that dingy middle area between Euston and King’s Cross. There are multicoloured murals, tables, and salsas—and pretty much everything that works so well in its original location has been seamlessly transported across the river. It’s a warm, comfortable space marked by two long banquettes that are perfect for margarita-fuelled birthday celebrations or big family get-togethers with buggies, beef burritos, and all. The tacos have maintained high standards. Al pastor and carnitas are juicy and fruity with moments of spice. And the tortillas, corn and made with reliable integrity, are excellent. You should come by on Sunday to check out their dish of the day, be it chilaquiles or pozole.
