A friend of mine (restaurant reviewer) recently wrote an article about noise levels in restaurants and how this is an area often overlooked by restaurant owners. Another fun write up to read too, well done.
haha, glad you remembered my article and yes, an area I am very passionate about. This is a really good read and resonated with me so much, thanks for sharing!
As a Mexican living in Bristol it has been a respite taking away the nostalgia of the flavors that you come to miss being in the UK, thank God finally a restaurant that does not offer you "spicy crema", or it invades you visually with the stereotypes that people have of Mexico in other countries such as "frida kahlo"pictures and colorful flowers, or papel picado everywhere, find on a menu "gorditas"which are called (no "garnachas"garnachas is the general description of deepfried masa dish and depends on the state cause in veracruz garnachas are just deep fried tortilla with salsa on top and some topping), nopales salad and black refried beans in a menu is pure gold to find them outside of México.
El diablo restaurant its a deep breath of hope for a "chilanga" living in bristol to be close to home.
What a shame... the first time I went to Mexico, I was bowled over by the great food, from the cheapest, grubbiest caff and up. I loved it all - the freshly-squeezed citrus fruit corner shops and the lucky dip you play with every place's home-made salsa - more like Russian roulette sometimes!
But somehow the move back to the UK is just too much for Mexican food. It's the same with Mediterranean cuisine - anywhere with lots of sun, maybe. Although come to think of it India & China can be pretty sunny and their cuisines seem to thrive over here... weird, eh?!
