[Any Mexican Updates?]

Red Epicurus-a nonprofit foodie club here in London- is hosting a Mexican cooking class in November--probably the closest thing for now to real Mexican food. Class was so popular that it is now sold out (so there is definitely interest in the cuisine!) but will most likely host another one in early 2004. More info....

[Good Mexican Food in London]

our catering company, Butter & Co., supplies tex-mex and mexican food and goodies for parties in London (along with other N. American cuisines...cajun/creole, southern, new england, etc).

still searching for a good mexican restaurant in London though...there's a restaurant available for rent on all saints road, w11! very tempting.
