"Tex Mex"

I am fast becoming a fan of Chimichanga. Mexican food is a particular weakness of mine, but I tend to find that usually the chains just don't live up to expectations. 

However, I've been to a few chimichangas around the country now, and am yet to be disappointed. They are much better in terms of quality and customer service than their closest rival (chiquitos), but also a fair price for what you are getting.

It is simple, yet effective, and sometimes I think this is the way places should go - especially when you are not a one off special local restaurant. The menu is a perfect size - not too much choice but enough to satisfy anyone's taste, service is quick, friendly and effective and the food is delicious. 

Today I went for a wrap - Cajun chicken with some sweet potato fries. The fries were perfectly crispy, and a decent size in portion. The wrap was filled to the brim - quite large for lunch but I thoroughly enjoyed it. There was lots of chicken, as well as peppers, onions and cheese, and a side of lettuce. I found myself using a knife and fork because there was simply too much food in it to pick it up (not really a bad thing). 

At the end of the meal, I find myself feeling the right amount of full, and this would be a big enough portion for lunch or dinner. The waitress was friendly but not overbearing, and swift with her service. Very polite, and checked up on me during the meal a couple of times, to offer me extra drinks and of course to see how the food was (which is something you would hope happens all the time - but I can assure you it doesn't).

All in all a very pleasant experience, I will definitely be returning.
