Default Decent Mexican Restaurant near Wokingham / Reading

Can anyone recommend me a decent Mexican near Wokingham / Reading? I know there is Old Orleans and Chillis at the Riverside in Reading but Ive tried both and they are below average chain restaurants. A pity as Chillis in Cambridge did really good food when I was living up there.

Cant find much in Yellow Pages and miss a decent Mexican.

Thanks,
Simon

There was a good Mexican restaurant on the A30 between Wentworth and Virginia Water but no Idea if it is still there. Think it was called chiquita or summat like that. I installed the alarm system in it when it was being built.

It is not that good. Very average if you ask me.

I've yet to find a decent Mexican in this country, tried loads of places, all have been no more than average.

The last decent place was in Austin Texas and that was run by - yep Mexicans. Still i suppose Texas is a little far to go.

That got closed down from what i heard. Someone broke into it & trashed all the gear. Poor guy was distraught after spendings thousands on an alarm system.

So it looks like youve confirmed my suspicions about the lack of decent mexicans in the surrounding areas.

On the topic of food, went to London St Brasserie in Reading for the first time on Sat night and a big 's up - pricey but really top draw food.
