It was nice that there were two vegetarian mains, but I was disappointed that there were no enchiladas on the menu. I ordered the veggie burrito, which was very delicious. I added a side of plain rice, which was a bit of a letdown, as I was expecting tomato-based rice instead of white rice. I would definitely go back to this restaurant if I'm in the Arsenal area.

Unpretentious and friendly, this restaurant achieves the near impossible by managing to feel comfortable wherever you sit within it and regardless of how busy (or not) it is.
Other reviewers will point out the enormous portions but the food is often excellent as well. Squid is generally a bland food but the grilled starter here was bursting with such flavour that having it as both starter and main would not have been considered odd.

The downside is its location. It is an oasis in an area otherwise barren of decent pubs and restaurants. There is little passing trade (other than on Arsenal home game days) and it is hoped it doesn't fall victim to the recession. If the restaurant was transported to an upmarket and accessible area, it would be packed to the rafters, even with a significant menu price hike.
