  • Breddos Tacos @ Market Halls

    Breddos Tacos @ Market Halls

    I made it to Market Halls at last. And I made it to Breddos Tacos…also at last.

    I went from one fairly dark room in the office, to another fairly dark room at Market Halls – well, it didn’t have the vibrant sunshine of sitting outside on the Cheese Barge, anyway.

    Then again, sunshine seems to have done one.

    Also I’ve found the office equivalent of the person in front of you on the plane leaning back…and that is the person in front of you moving their standing desk up, and blocking the light. Granted all the blinds are down anyway…who wants to see the outside world? Well, I do.

    Anyway. Tacos. Gloriously, messy tacos. And it was messy.

    Breddos Tacos thankfully doesn’t have too many options to choose from – once I’d actually chosen which of the 7 or so places in Market Halls to eat from.

    Menu at Breddos Tacos.

    It was 3 tacos for £12.00, I had a mixture of mushroom, chicken and the fish tacos.

    The mushroom taco was the messiest, and the one with more of a kick – which I guess was the jalapeño.

    3 tacos side by side, fish, chicken and mushroom ones.

    The fish was my favourite, in a tempura batter with bits of raw cabbage, onion and tomatoes, the flavour of the habanero mayo was probably why I was such a fan.

    Alas the chicken one didn’t really do it for me, again messy though also the chicken seemed quite dry.

    Overall I was very happy with Breddos Tacos, maybe a score of 7.70 out of 10. I’ll be surprised if I’m not back for a quesadilla at some point…heck probably everything else off the menu at some point.

  • Hola Guacamole

    Hola Guacamole

    Hola Guacamole! It was time to head into the office once more to try to avoid punishment beatings from the CCCP.

    This time my underwhelming lunch was at Hola Guacamole, one of the food stalls near M&S.

    It looked like they were having a good time, pumping out tacos and burritos to a soundtrack of pumping hard dance music. I kind of wanted to pop some pills and go clubbing…aye any excuse to escape the office. 😱😉

    Not the prettiest thing to eat or photograph, I ordered the pork pibil burrito at £9.00.

    I was concerned when she wrapped it twice…but it was so moist and messy it needed it. In hindsight I should have ordered the chicken.

    Otherwise it was respectable, a little warm spiciness, tender pork, soggy burrito. Beans, lettuce and tomato all as expected.

    A colleague had the mixed tacos, and was also fairly satisfied yet underwhelmed. Chicken was his favourite of the 3.

    A score of 6.4 out of 10. Maybe try the chicken if you fancy going…it’s reasonable but it ain’t like a burrito in California.
