Exquisite, 167 Black Stock Road, N4 2JS

Exquisite is a tiny Mexican restaurant hidden away on Blackstock Road near Finsbury Park. I can’t claim to be an expert on Mexican food but judging by this place Mexican’s must have very big appetites. Do not eat all day before visiting Exquisite. Further advice; do not eat for two days if you’re planning on ordering one of their chimichangas, they truly are enormous. Other giant dishes include fajitas, with a choice of king prawn or salmon as well as the ubiquitous chicken.
The burritos are beautifully done with just the right balance of meat, chillies, refried beans and sour cream. Other specialities include the grilled swordfish steaks and mixed seafood with mole sauce. The carafes of house wine are cheap (beware this is for a reason, it’s simply not very nice), nachos and spiced hummus come free and the music is all pop-Mexican madness.
