La Piragua came recommended by a local who loves latin food - as a latino myself, I find it difficult to find/recommend places that truly remind me of home. La Piragua was a nice surprise. The food was good and service efficient. Slightly overpriced and the place a bit too modern/chick - 2 things latin-american food is not about... however, something you easily forgive after trying their mean mojitos (be sure to ask for brown sugar instead of white)

Working out at about £50 for two for an average meal, the place is a little overpriced for what it is. The protions are big, but expensive for basic grills, at about £13 for a main. The atmosphere is a little tense, and staff are either too busy or not amazingly well trianed - they are well meaning but don't always get things right. The meat grills, in fairness, are pretty good, but avoid the fish dishes.
