Real Mexican food – said by actual Mexicans – so that it can be a bit heavy for dinner time. The environment is nice anyways with Brazilian and Portuguese music playing the whole night since the staff is mostly Portuguese and entirely Spanish speaking. They have also Salsa nights but I have not tried it!
The food is good here but none of the waitresses speak very good English so at first we wanted to order nachos just with cheese and have the salsa, sour cream and guacamole on the side. It came with it all on top. So was sent back and it took a while to get the waitress to understand what we meant. My friend ordered a fanta and got orange juice with lemonade. It took me 3 attempts to successfully order a diet coke rather than the bill which is what they thought I was asking for. Very disappointing visit so we left after the starter.
Ive always been a fan of mexican food and was looking forward to my visit to Ay Caramba in Camden. The restaurant was really cosy and has tables downstairs. The menu is plentiful with loads of different meats to try. I was spoilt for choice, everything on the menu looked so good. I settled for the beef barbacoa to begin with which was excellent. The burritos was soft and the beef was nice and spicy.For my mains we ordered the Havana beach bbq to share and we were well stuffed by the end of it. The tray included Bbq chicken and pork ribs which were the most filling. The service was good and did well to explain the menu us .Overall I enjoyed the time spent at Ay Caramba and would love to visit the dinner again in the future. The prices were also quite resonable.
Ay Caramba! There’s now a Mexican restaurant in Camden Town!The atmosphere is one of the best parts of eating here, as the interior is styled to look like a traditional Mexican restaurant. The walls are filled with colourful paintings and sombreros are dotted around the restaurant for you to wear.The food is delicious and portions are well worth the money. The menu itself is quite broad, where they serve traditional food such as burritos and fajitas, to seafood and salads. I would definitely recommend their starters, particularly the cajun mushrooms and the classic nachos with the chuox bun for dessert.As the restaurant is located on Camden’s main high street, the area is busy and filled with loads of restaurants with food from around the world. I would recommend Ay Caramba to anyone who loves Mexican food that is not too expensive. Also, if you ever watch someone perform at KOKO, Ay Caramba is right outside. thefaultsandfailuresofan18yearold.blogspot.com
FUN MEXICAN DININGI love Mexican grub but this place was perhaps not the best selection for date-night with my significant other.We entered and were enthusiastically met by a member of staff who offered us sombrero hats and a choice of seats. We sat in the middle of the restaurant but in hindsight by the front window may would have been better! The English of the staff was not perfect but the place was warm and friendly so no complaints there. The vibe was very Mexican with load music to match. I ordered a Mexican Cheese Burger but did not really enjoy it – the bacon was too chewy for me. In hindsight I could have asked for a new one or something else – the staff were very accommodating.We had a large group next to use doing shots in between meals with bar staff! They seemed to be having a ball,So if you have a occasion then this restaurant could be the super fun place to be but if you just want some Mexican food and have a little chat with a friend/significant other you may find this place a little on the loud side!
We arrived on the wettest day in October so far…wet though we arrived feeling a bit sorry for ourselves! We ordered a Havana iced tea and a margarita which were lovely and warming! Lots of people arrived after us and it was busy when we left. Ordered steak tacos, chicken enchiladas and popcorn prawns which were lovely and light. BUT the bean dip with chorizo was so good, so warming and comforting I would recommend it to anyone winter especially 😉 Lovely staff had a good time, thanks!
Okay – I went in here with zero expectations. A friend suggested it and I just decided to go. I must admit, I like very few Mexican places in London. The ambiance and music really contribute to the feel of the place, as do the sombreros they give you! 🙂 The two girls who served us were so friendly and helpful. We started with some chorizo nachos which were delicious! I’m not saying this because I have a weakness for chorizo either 😛 Cocktails arrived with the nachos. My caipirinha was perfect – one of the best I have had in London for sure. I ordered beef tacos as my main and wow, the beef was tender, juicy and so full of flavour. I highly recommend it! I was too stuffed to have dessert but my friend certainly enjoyed her two cocktails, enchiladas and dessert! 🙂 There was a dance class going on – I must look into it at some point. I also think this place would be ideal for a birthday do! All in all, a great place with good value for my money especially given its location!
