Benito's Hat (CLOSED)

It’s all about the burritos at Benito’s Hat, and this Covent Garden branch of the vibrant and colourful Tex-Mex chain doesn’t let the side down. The fast-moving counter churns out some the best floury filled versions in town (naked or wrapped) with combos including the ‘Cha-cha-chia’ (half brisket, half veg with salsa brava, pico, spiced pumpkin, chia seeds and guacamole) – all backed by a 10-strong line-up of fresh salsas. The menu also includes tacos (‘super-slow’ braised pork, smoky chipotle-grilled steak etc), plus antojitos (Mexican tapas), salads and various seasonal specials – all of which go down a storm with Benito’s merciless margaritas and Mexican beers. If you have sweet tooth, don’t miss the churros, buñuelos or tres leche cake.
