It would help people who plan to go there with the intention of having something massive

They can just go there an try it for themselves. It was very tasty.
It's only me saying it wasn't actually 'massive'.
Also, I went for 'hot' and it wasn't actually 'hot'. I should have gone for the next grade up, or the one above that.
I will be going back though, so will try to get it right next time.

Another thought. Maybe you just have really big hands so it doesn't seem massive to you. Or a really big mouth?
What's the next level of hotness then? Do they have chilli peppers on the menu indicating the degree of hotness or do you just have to ask them to chuck more hotness in?

Yes, this was the problem with El Panzon in the HootaHob - 'hot' was only mildly spicy. So I got into getting 'extra hot' which was ok. Then even that wasn't enough, so I used to get 'fuck off hot' (this is actually on the menu) quite regularly until some new chef must have taken it literally and I had a sore arse for 24 hours
If you like it quite spicy, get 'extra hot'

I had the large one and found that large enough. Spot on with the heat tho, I ordered the hottest and it was pitiful.

I think the problem is that they often seem to put the jalapenos in a handful in the middle of the burrito instead of spreading them along the length of the burrito

Whatever they did it wasn't hot at all. Nice people in there tho.
Pah. The problem is that the proprietor is a bit of a chilli wus. Flushed by machismo at the pub's chilli challenge, he was goaded into putting the tiniest part of a 7 pot in his mouth... and then spat it out, in attempted and failed surreptitious style.
Jalapenos and a sliver of hot sauce are never going to make a properly hot burrito tbh. The hottest thing they have is an undistinguished (West Indian) style pepper sauce - even some commercial Mexican habanero sauces would be a better fit.

Ok, I'm interested. I have to go there today with a very important next day delivery item.

That's good timing. The nice lady informed me (after I had cunningly gained her confidence by saying 'hello, how are you') that she only has long queues on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesday afternoons. She doesn't know why the place fills up after 2 pm on Wednesdays - she thinks it might be because some other local post office closes at that time.
P.S. Cunning diversion there, Onket. Does this qualify as subversion? Are you risking a trip to the gulag?

Go for it! The field is open - I am no longer a rival suitor for her hand (having transferred my affections to my pharmacist). I can report that the nice lady is wearing a big fat ring on the ring finger of her left hand. It's hard to tell whether it's a wedding ring, I don't know whether that sort of thing is customary in her culture. And I have no idea what culture she's from. But according to some BBC programme about India the other day, the quantity of gold worn by Indian ladies exceeds the reserves of all the G7 countries combined. Or something.

I don't know why I like that, it was just a pleasantly stream-of-conciousness post. (spelling?)

not yet. But ((chicken))
Will it compete with KFC? My dirty pleasure (well, the one I will readily admit to, anyway)

Undermining strikes :-(
I too am a fan of KFC and try to limit my consumption of Zinger burgers on health grounds.
I can't see what the big difference will be between the village and KFC, other than one is licensed and you're more likely to get served by someone achingly hip.
Also the Brixton Blog review doesn't sound encouraging: http://www.brixtonblog.com/wishbone-brixton/8284

Brace yourselves for a mega-update.........
1) Next day delivery item (important documents) posted no problem. Served by the lovely lady, not the poison dwarf.
2) Picked up Maisey Makes Gingerbread, Miffy at the Seaside & Goose on the Loose from that junk shop on the way past. £2 all in (he wanted £3).
3) Front page news in today's South London Press is about Brady's reopening. Why has no-one mentioned this?!

Had a look in whilst getting a burger next door. It is a lot more 'polished' than the other restaurants. They have spent serious cash doing it up.

You asked why no one had mentioned it and they had or do we all have to post everything in this thread with the stupid title?
