Mexican · Abingdon
Step through the door in Abingdon and the decor does a lot of work on small people — bright, warm, art on the walls, the sort of room that makes a Tuesday teatime feel like a holiday. High chairs are there, and the children's menu sits as a page on the main one rather than a sad afterthought, with quesadillas and similar going out in portions generous enough to surprise. The kitchen handles requests without fuss — dairy-free, no tomatoes, mild instead of spicy — and reads orders back, which is reassuring if allergies are in play. Tacos, nachos and the fajitas draw the most praise, and the homemade churros with chocolate dip are worth staying for. It fills up fast and gets lively; book, or go early. Vegan options available, and expect a proper restaurant bill rather than a cheap one.
