What SteveBM doesn't like about Benito's Hat:
I am unsure what has happened here. This restaurant used to be one of my favorites. As others have mentioned, the service is lacking. There was no friendly smile and I felt like an inconvenience. The vegetables and guacamole appeared old with brown spots, making them taste bland. The only positive aspect was the delicious grilled chicken. Perhaps they are facing supply problems and rising costs. However, that does no... View all feedback. What ToneController likes about Benito's Hat:
The staff was a bit serious but very helpful. It was quite busy during the middle of a Saturday afternoon. I was able to easily get gluten-free food, opting for a naked burrito (a bowl full of filling). The margaritas were 2 for 1 during happy hour, which was a nice perk. The only thing I found lacking was that the grated cheese was English-style rather than Mexican-style. View all feedback.

Love this place!. The burritos and the tortilla chips (and I don't even like tortilla chips) are delicious. Definitely the best I've had in London.

Nestled in Covent Garden, Benito's Hat initially dazzles with its vibrant decor and promising menu of fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. While the restaurant offers enjoyable dishes like the jaw-locking pork burrito and a satisfying vegetable option, experiences are marred by inconsistent service. Diners have reported unfriendly staff, cold food, and issues with cleanliness that detract from the otherwise lively atmosphere. Though happy hour perks like two-for-one margaritas provide a silver lining, the diminishing quality and service might leave patrons questioning their next visit to this once-beloved eatery.

Fantastic food, full of flavour and super affordable for london! Worth noting it works more as a fast food place rather than an actual sit-down restaurant.
