Festive, fun, lively…  Green and Red of Shoreditch serves freshly prepared Tex Mex and more brands of Tequila than I can bare to even look at.

Drew and I shared stories and a pitcher of margaritas with a new friend over dinner at what is one of her favorite restaurants. (She is seemed to be well known by the staff and has even pledged to join the Tequila Club when it starts again in June.) I had a wonderful trio of chayote, pumpkin, and chillies.

Bookings are recommended, but the atmosphere is great for a party or group. There is a restaurant on the ground floor and a club downstairs that hosts djs and other performance artists for late night hanging.

It was a little dark for photos, but I did my best. Who knew – Tex Mex in London?
