It would a great shame if during your life your experience of Mexican food was limited to supermarket fajitas.

Away from stereotypes of spice and a beer with lemon in the bottle neck, there's a comprehensive depth of flavours to a Mexican, perfectly shown at Notting Hill's new Peyotito.

On your way to the Kensington Park Road venue is a tour of some of London's most jealousy-provoking wealth, which does make you feel as if an over-priced meal is on the way.

But while Peyotito certainly isn't cheap, it is a brilliant treat in a wonderful range of strong wine and great food.

Pulpo A La Mexicana

The setting itself feels like a luxury hotel, which may not please the purists expecting heavy Mexican interior, with light stoned walls and, surprisingly, a DJ booth in the corner.

My friend and I begin with two glasses of the Marqués del Valle, rich with a spicy finish at a fair price of £6.50.

On to the food and, as opposed to a traditional starter followed by a main, we're advised to share one dish at a time and pick the Blanco Ceviche (£13).

Served in a shell, the scallops delicately fall off into a fresh coconut, plum tomato and serrano chili sauce - a delicious dish though smaller than its price tag would suggest.

Tacos De Barbacoa

Next up is the Pulpo A La Mexicana (£12), a more traditional Mexican flavour comprising octopus in a liquid salsa sauce making for just the right amount of spice.

Between dishes, I had a Finca La Florencia Malbec (£10) and Pine Ridge, Chenin Blanc (£10), the former a sublime fruity wine while the latter was, to say the least, lacking in flavour for its pricetag.

On to the meaty dishes, and my friend and I opt for Tostada De Atun (£13), Tacos De Barbacoa (£8.50), Tacos De Res (£8.50) and Mole De Olla (£14).

Highlight of the bunch was the Tacos De Barbacoa, offering up impossibly tasty braised lamb cooked for 24 hours along with guacamole while in similarly exquisite fashion, the Tacos De Res serves up tender beef with a salsa verde and baby gem lettuce.

Tostada De Atun

The yellowfin tuna served on the Tostada De Atun also deserves praise, although the homemade tostada its served on tastes a little bland, while the slow-cooked, short rib in the Mole De Olla continues the fine form of dishes we had on the night.

Finishing with dessert, my friend and I chose the Marscapone Cheesecake (£7.50) and the Churro Con Chocolate (£6) - both tasty dishes but not quite in the same league, in quality, as the previous food.

The verdict

Its setting may not be the authentic Mexican experience some might wish for, but it's still a luxury venue and, most importantly, the food is of a superb quality I would completely reccommend.
