Mexican food in London?

I used to go to Cafe Pacifico in Langley Street in Covent Garden a lot.  It is wonderful.  I must admit it has been many years since I've been there (I just looked up in the phone book and at least it still exists), so can't vouch for it now, but do give it a try.  If you go out of Covent Garden tube station and turn left.  Turn left down Long Acre and right into Langley Street.  It is on the right hand side up some stairs.  I vaguely seem to remember it being a bit tricky to find, but well worth it when you get there.  Their phone no is 0207 379 7728

Do let me know if it is still as great as ever :)

It's now absolute rubbish. have a look at the reviews on www.restaurantspy.co.uk

I don't think there is an authentic Mexican restaurant in London. Nearest one I know of used to be in Blackpool so not really much use.....
