Take your colleagues, friends or family to Mexico for Christmas, and organise a festive dinner at La Chingada, an authentic Mexican restaurant in Euston. The restaurant was founded in 2019 by Walter Opitz and since then has developed branches in both Euston and Surrey Quays, making it a small, independent chain. The team here are incredibly passionate about sharing the traditional flavours and cookery techniques of their homeland, using quality ingredients and generational recipes.
First of all, you might start with a flavourful cocktail, such as a passion fruit margarita or hibiscu mezcalita, followed by a selection of starters for the table. Order the likes of chicken tostadas covered in grated cheese, tasty mushroom qusadillas and an elegant prawn cocktail with a spicy salsa twist.
As for mains, burritos are a house favourite with fillings like beef, chicken and chorizo, as are tacos which come with both vegan and vegetarian options. There's fried taco baja prawn which makes for a lovely side, as well as nachos and zocalo corn on a stick.
While there isn't a private dining room, the team are really excited to welcome group bookings, especially for Christmas, and invite you to call or email to share your party size and preferences. You'll love the atmosphere of the space which is always imbued with a Latin sense of fun and exuberance, something the team here are proud of.
This is reflected in the decor, too, with colourful seating, uplifting lighting and beautiful wall murals which give the restaurant a unique touch. From the decor and concept to the lovely staff, we think that whoever you're booking your Christmas party for - be it friends, colleagues, clients or family - they'll love the sunshine positivity at La Chingada.
You should also swing by the restaurant's Instagram account and give them a follow to keep up with recent deals or seasonal menus, which always get posted there first.
