The eateries range from Thai, Italian, Caribbean, deserts, meat, veggie. The vibe is always relaxed and they do a variety of different events. From live sports, tribute bands, concerts, New Years eves parties, fitness classes (on mass), Champions League Finals, Crystal Palace Footballers in the house, Love Island shows too name but a few. The environment is always clean and there are never (I've never seen one) any drunks knocking about the place. You can work from there in an afternoon and work into the early evening meet colleagues and have something to eat and drink and reminisce. The other great thing is it's right next to East Croydon train station easy access to teams and taxi ranks, what more could you need!!

Before Boxpark opened, the best thing Croydon had going on for itself was probably the East Croydon…read morestation... to which Boxpark is now literally adjacent. (You can walk in just seconds after tapping out at a ticket barrier.) I don't think Croydon will become the Shoreditch of zone 5 anytime soon, but it seems like Boxpark will definitely spice up the local food scene. If you're a fan of food trucks, you'll love the concept here. But instead of kitchens on wheels, imagine actual storefronts serving up street food. The hardest part of your meal will be deciding what to eat because more than 30 eateries call Boxpark home. (Some restaurants also have street entrances.) Boxpark is made up of repurposed shipping containers -- this gives it a cool industrial vibe, but it isn't an obnoxious hipster atmosphere that would alienate anyone. But if you're eating in, note that it can get a little loud. I'd recommend the chicken schwarma wrap with lightly spiced fries from Lazeez (this meal was the only thing I could stomach during my jet lag-induced nausea) and the fried chicken bao from Bao Bao. However, expect food truck prices (read: high prices that don't justify the amount of food you get) but that might just be something that comes with the territory in London.

It's not the biggest Mexican Resturant but it's local(ish) and as you can use Tastecard there that makes it even better. So pointers, Tastecard cannot be used to access the happy hour cocktails, Tastecard cannot be applied to the house specials . Anyway it is a small friendly restaurant the staff were very welcoming and the actual environment of the restaurant is ok, painted walls with Mexican imagery along with pictures of Hollywood legends in action mood, think Charles Bronson and Clint Eastwood (to name a few) and so the list goes on. Except there is a picture of Gregory Peck in his civvies, which I really did not get. The cocktails were very good I will be going back without the car to sample more. The fact that you can order a pitcher of the cocktail you have is cool, the Mexican Banger is good The food is served in good portion sizes, except my starter of butterflied king prawns, could have used more than 3!!! The mains were all of good size and very filling. They could use slightly more spice but I guess that is a personal taste thing. All in all I will go back just to sample a pitcher of the Mexican Banger

The second is the huge range of cocktails. The food is good, but many Mexican restaurants are similar and although Mexicans might disagree their food is not what's generally considered gourmet. Those looking for fine dining should look elsewhere, although if you're in the mood for Mexican food and cocktails in this area this should be your venue of choice. The list of cocktails is impressive and they have a happy hour where they are sold at a reduced price. I chose the mixed fajitas for my meal and was impressed with my combination of beef, prawns and chicken. Everyone has their own taste in cocktails but a Zombie is always fun! And whatever you do avoid the mescal (the small bottle of lethal tequila with the strange creature at the bottom.) It truly is one of those drinks that should only be consumed when you have lost all regard for your personal safety. Luckily a fun night at Conchitas usually facilitates this kind of reckless abandon.

Typical Cajun seasoning and traditional Tex Mex flavours tempt the palette with fajitas, enchiladas and vegetarian options all available. There is also a children's menu. Colourful cocktails and calorific desserts also entice, so this is not the place to visit if you're trying to stick to a diet. Although portions are large the bill is expensive, when you consider the level of service and variety of food offered. If you're planning a one-off treat however, Chiquito's vibrant setting is just the place for your fiesta.

I personally stick to the burritos, which are available in a number of flavours - then you chose between vegaterian, beef chilli or chicken. My usual order is the large chicken Americana burrito-and I normally have enough left over for lunch the next day. They used to serve steak as a filling but sadly this has been dropped from the menu-I will have to lobby them to try and get it back! Several excellent salsas are available, served with home made authentic nachos-nothing like the Dorito style chips you buy in the supermarkets. In my opinion the best salsa is the Calexico (which is not as hot as its three chili rating suggests). Other dishes include tacos, quesadillas, taquitos, and my wife's favourite the chicken tostida salad (served in a massive crisp tortilla). They can also deliver Ben and Jerry's ice cream, Oreos, and Mexican or Spanish beers. They used to have a branch in East-Sheen/Mortlake, but sadly this has closed down, and apparently the business was sold. However, the new owners still seem to be doing an excellent job so I still highly recommend Mexifresh. I have not visited the Wimbledon premises in person - but the Sheen branch was more cafe style rather than a full blown restaurant. All in all I'd say this is the best Mexican takeaway in South West London - recommended if you like Mexican food.
