Nineteen Ten

Have had better burritos.
Friendly service.

I had been longing a burrito in London, so I was delighted when I spotted 1910 in the food court at Westfield. I ordered a Barbaco burrito with black beans, pico de gallo, mild salsa, rice, lettuce, and cheese. The burrito was good, but the tortilla was fragile and I had a tough time keeping the burrito together.
The concept is very similar to that of Chipotle; however, Chipotle has greater customer flow, so ingredients are constantly being prepared because of the higher number of customers translating to a greater degree of freshness.

Barely passable Brit-​Mex. The corn tortillas are alright, however. I’ve given this place 3 tries with 3 different dishes in the hopes of it being good. No bueno. The tacos aren’t horrid, but they’re nothing special. There are better places in London. And certainly better elsewhere, in general.

don’t tell anybody, but i’m obsessed with this place. i’m a total mexican snob, but 1910 just had me at hello, even with all of it’s little brit-​mex quirks… i know it’s not that good, but i just fucking love it. when i went to uni in shepherds bush, i was here an embarrassing amount. plus, i can’t order just one thing cause i love it all, and always end up getting like three meals for myself and then feeling like a fatty (because i am). it’s not that cheap, but it’s pretty good food and everything takes about 2.5 seconds to make, which is always nice. the staff was always friendly enough to me also, but really i just came for da juicy meat.
** they have kid size burritos which make a tasty snack and if you ask they’ll mix the meats in the burrito. get one with half pork and half spicy beef… its amazing i know, thank me later

Not The Worse Mexican Restaurant, But Not the Best
As I was checking out the Westfield Mall for the first time last week, I came accross this Mexican canteen. It appears to be an imitation of Chilango’s, which I’ve also reviewed. Unfortunately, the food wasn’t as good. The restaurant claims that 1910 is the year of the «Chili Revolution» but the food was pretty bland. My burrito was cold and over-​priced, and I couldn’t taste the hot sauce at all. If you’re at Westfield and you get a burrito craving, this is your only bet, but don’t go out of your way to eat there.

i did like it but i thought the taco was abit bland and didn’t get to taste the flavours. it was hot off the tray but would want to try something different. the staff were a tad slow on service, even though there were 4 people, one of whom just seem like confused. however i liked how you can customise the style, the way it looks, the sauce and the filling to your own but tortilla and chilangos have done this idea too so it isn’t any different. but its good we got more mexican places near west london so should be glad there is one. oh the only other thing that flopped was that my sprite was flat because the fridge wasn’t working or they didnt have the facility to refrigerate!

The Westfield Shopping Centre tries very hard (and for the most part succeeds) to put forth a posh shopping experience. The ‘food court’ avoids the normal sterotypical fast food and instead tries to put together a fine dining yet casual look. As an American living in London, I’ve been craving a good burrito for ages and so when I saw the mexican food area, I was «chuffed to bits» as they say. (that’s very excited for you non-​UK types). It even resembled the Pancheros or Chipolte format where you go down the line and tell them what to put in the wrap.
Alas, I was disappointed. The meat was cold, the black beans were lukewarm and mushy. The rice was CRUNCHY, the chicken had bits of bone in it. Overall, I have to say SKIP IT. Try something else and look elsewhere for your Mexican food.

The food court at Westfield Shopping Centre is a crazy place. A few times we’ve gone to have lunch there but have always been discouraged by the large queues that seemed to go on and on and on. Finally we decided to head there for dinner and finally managed to check out the Mexican offering: Nineteen Ten.
Choosing your meal at Nineteen Ten is fairly straight forward choose your style (for example, burrito or fajita), choose your meat, choose your stuffing (cheese, beans, rice, guac etc.) and choose your heat (sauce) and presto you have your dinner.
I totally enjoyed my burrito at Nineteen Ten. It was delicious, ingredients were clearly fresh and fairly filling. Nice to have this option for fast food rather that just the usual burger, chips and pizza.
