England Needs Mexicans!

So close and yet so far.

There is a complete and total lack of Mexicans and Mexican culture in England.  England needs Mexicans!  Especially their food!  We have been to England before and were both aware of this grave problem so, we tried to eat our fill of Mexican food before leaving Arizona….Unfortunately the cravings have started to return.

There are a few small glimmers of hope.  As you can see in the picture, there are tortillas to be had, only they are wraps here.  I wonder if  I can put beans and carnitas on a wrap, or will the wrap police hunt me down and start lecturing me on the merits of lettuce and lunch meat?  Our hopes soared when we saw Casa Pepe’s.  Only a few blocks from home too!  But, alas, those hopes were dashed to the floor when later we discovered that it is only a traditional steak house.  More filet mignon than carne asada.

Fortunately, a few days ago we did find 1 mexican food restaurant in the Bournemouth town center.  It looks a little questionable as to the authenticity of their Mexican selections (Sweet potato enchiladas? And what the heck is Quorn?) and is a little pricey, but when you need your fix, what are you going to do?  We hereby implore any Mexicans, or Mexican Americans that can cook, to make your way out to England!  There is a large untapped market here that does not yet know how much they need your tasty tasty foods.
