You make me wanna GOOP!

So many of your are aware of Gwyneth Paltrow's extremely hoity + toity blog where she shares recipes, her favorite restaurants (which we can't afford) and things to buy (we can't afford these suggestions either). So why do I subscribe to her blog? For the recipes??

Lucky for me, she dedicated one to London where she goes on and on about the fancy places she's been to, eaten at, etc. Some, to my surprise, are even affordable! And sometimes, she gives you really valuable information that could possibly save your life!

Drumroll....

Yes folks, Mexican food in London. Now I don't want to get my hopes up. I've been deprived for two years now, I can't imagine London will satisfy my bean and cheese burrito cravings... but the desperate Southern Californian in me is SO curious. It's just a matter of time before I hop on the Circle line and make my way towards this Notting Hill treasure (or dump, we will see!). This is what GOOP has to say:

"Taqueria is the best Mexican restaurant in London and my Mexican friend who lives here can attest to this. The vast taco and antojito menu is the answer to all my Mexican cravings. This bustling Notting Hill establishment offers excellent comida corrida, which is nearly impossible to find when you are across the sea. The ingredients here are authentic and you can buy their salsas, spices and tortillas for your own Mexican home cooking. Drop in anytime; although it’s always full, the tables move quickly."

Is this a disaster waiting to happen, or is it worth the trek?
