Amiga Mexican Restaurant & Bar

You're walking up Battersea Rise and spot Amiga wedged between the local shops—nothing flash about the frontage, but that's when you know it's genuine. Inside, it's warm and unpretentious; the kind of place where regulars are genuinely happy to see each other and staff actually know what they're talking about. The menu reads like someone who's spent time in Mexico rather than just Googled it, and the cocktails have real backbone without being showily complicated.
