Tonteria

Monday, December 10, 2012 - Tonteria is a serious - and expensive - tequila bar, with an arm-long list of spirits ranging from down-in-one party slammers to a £5,000 bottle of Reserva del Alma...It manages to be both kitsch and classy at the same time. Sharing cocktails are served in novelty receptacles such as a Mayan pyramid or a Day of the Dead skull. Shots come on a wooden 'Serpent of Doom' tray. A little train track around the ceiling delivers drinks to cheering drinkers. But the cocktails are far better than the lurid tequila sunrises found in all-inclusive resorts - see the tamarind margarita or the Soul Happiness with fresh watermelon syrup. A better sort of party food is served, including mini pork tacos and squid ceviche.
