Desperados (Islington)

• We were quite hungry so thought of stopping at Desperados as were had heard good reviews for Desperados (Islington)
• The service was good and so was the food
• One of the places with perhaps the best Long Island Iced Tea in Angel
• My friends ordered for a mixed grill and were all praises for the massive portion at the price
• We were eating at 6.30pm and I arrived ten minutes early and the restaurant was understandably empty
• Desperados is great if you are going for the fun environment rather than a gourmet meal
• The bar has been designed to look like a large orange camper van and on the street outside always lurks an actual van emblazoned with the restaurant&rsquo
• The best of which is the fajitas which come to your table on a sizzling hot plate
• The place also does very reasonable lunch deals so is nice to come to for a cocktail on your day off
• Relaxed Mexican restaurant where you are guaranteed nice food in a light hearted environment
• Desperados is located right opposite Islington Green
• The gimmicky Mexican theme meaning walls are adorned with sombreros and cactus' and the bar is the shape of a VW camper van (not sure how that is Mexican)
• I came here with a friend and we decided to share some tapas dishes and nibbles rather than order individual mains
• We also ordered some caipirinhas which took a long time to get to our table and were overpoweringly sugary
• Desperados is a Mexican restaurant located in Angel
• The place is casual fun place and their decor is very Mexican and there is a personal touch to it

• If you are looking for a fun and cheap evening with decent Mexican food
• The service here was not at all good
• The staff was very arrogant and they did not know how are they supposed to act with the customers
• Size of the dishes were good but the quality of the food was very bad
• The major downer for Desperados (Islington) is their impolite and inefficient service
• Although is not a problem but they should really inform their customers in advance knowing that chicken is a major dish which everyone wants to have
• They charge you with exorbitant service tax which you should double check at the end
• We were extremely disappointed with service at Desperados (Islington) so much so the we refused to pay the service charge
• The service was downright pathetic and we had to wait for a long time for the cutlery and even the table sauces
• The food is bad if you are looking for some good Mexican snacks
• The nachos lacked taste and flavour and were utter disappointment
• Desperados (Islington) is quite good if you want to have a big gathering or just want to celebrate a special occasion like a birthday
• The nachos were pretty good compared to my experiences at other restaurants and the quality of fajitas was acceptable
• One can not do much with the nachos
• After that mains were supposed to arrive but they were bit late in that
• Service was just okay and our food was also not that great
• A crazy list of different cocktails made even more enjoyable with am happy hour during the week
• The food is plentiful and pretty good and the cocktails are also extensive
• The service is a little slow at times as the restaurant is generally packed
• My friend ordered the t bone steak and it was like butter
• Desperados (Islington) is really close to my work and had good ratings so I had to try it
• The daily special is where it's at
• I will have to say my girlfriends and my favorite dish is the FLAMED GRILLED SIRLON STEAK
• All getting washed down with a cocktail
• I was really impressed with the service
• The waitress outside the front (we were seated in the patio/outside section) was really friendly and helpful
• I ordered a starter portion of prawn tacos and the way in was prepared was not what I was expecting (not due to the kitchen's fault
• I mentioned this to the waitress and I guess the manager (not 100% sure who the man was that I spoke to) and they kindly altered the dish for me so that I could enjoy it more
• I hope these guys are recognised
• Desperados (Islington) is a good spot if you&rsquo
• A spacious outlet with the Mexican theme totally makes Desperados (Islington) a great spot to hang around with friends at the Upper Street
• The staff here is very polite and at your service as soon as you step foot into Desperados (Islington)
• Albeit with a Mexican touch(Try Garlic Bread with Cheese for one

• The bar has pretty much everything with the restaurant adding something on the house to make your experience even better
