I think we're agreed that more or less the best possible review of a great Tex-Mex restaurant would be a really short one. We all know what such restaurants should deliver, we know what good guacamole tastes like, we know you should feel full to the point of pain afterwards, we know the music... etc etc. Anyhow, Desperados on Upper Street ain't bad, but it gets a slightly longer mention because in spite of some good things about which I'll stay more or less silent (beans they way they should be, some good iced Tequila shots on the house, and a general tastiness to the dishes), they fluffed the stuffed-japalenos test big-time. As b pointed out, all they would have had to do is add one more jalapeno (to our miserly three for £4.95) on the plate and we wouldn't have minded one jot, but as it was I got sidetracked into mental arithmetic wondering just how much three frozen jalapenos costs such restaurants (even factoring in the oil in the fryer and the labour required for the drop-and-fish-the-jalapeno). Still, although we really didn't get stuffed, we decided that wasn't such a bad thing, unlike ol' Gordy Broon who famously dined at this site when it was the home of the famous Granita.
