    Ingredients taste really fresh. Braised pork is the way to go. Hot sauce wasn't too hot. Grab a fork and a lot of napkins cause the last 1/3 of your burrito will be super sloppy.

    Some good Mexican in Fitz. Burritos get a little messy so knife and fork may be required (which is almost sacrilege to us Californians in burrito-land). Splurge a little and order w/the guac.

    Good value burritos. If you eat in you get free tortilla chips with your burrito. They have a cocktail bar here too.

    Quite good burritos but suffers from being just round the corner from both Freebird and El Burrito, which are both incredible. Benito's is open late though, unlike the aforementioned.

    Love the veggie burritos, and I like that you can choose black or refried beans. Excellent cocktails, which are 2 for 1 during happy hour (5-7pm every day). The limeade is delicious.

    Two for one cocktails during happy "hour". Delicious burritos. Get the pork with black beans and rice, hot sauce, and a squeeze of lime.

    Outstanding! They're not messing around with the hot salsa (that's a Texan's opinion). Try a Jarritos. Authentic Mexican soda.

    Some pretty good burritos. They have delicious nachos and some nice salsas. Prizes are definitely acceptable for London.

    Like hot sauce? They ask if you want mild, medium or hot sauce. ..but you can go extra hot! Diabolo, baby!

    I have always said: "I don't like burrito's". Well, one can change his mind: "I love a Benito Hat Burrito". Damn tasty and filling.

    Braised Chicken is the most popular option for a reason!

    Ask for double meat. It only costs £1 extra. Pork and steak - nom.

    The days of not being able to get a good burrito in London are over! Head here for a steak burrito with everything, you won't find better this side of the Atlantic!

    Their burritos are much improved, pork especially. Which is a good job as freebird around the corner went downhill. Their guacamole is still tasteless though.

    Reasonable burrito - good if you're desperate but plenty of better ones around London. A little bland and a bit cold!

    Booked a table for 4. When we were ready to order we were told to leave and join the queue in the street. We hadn't been informed of this ordering process whilst booking or on arrival. Shit.

    The pork is good, but the 'extra spicy' salsa and guacamole are a bit... insipid. Disappointed as had heard good things.

    They do a great salad option- it's really a giant box of burrito without the wrap!

    Always go for the spiciest sauce. The medium sauce had no kick! Also, the steak isn't worth it! go for the chicken.
