A subject dear to my heart. Mestizo on Hampstead road for up-market Mexican and excellent margaritas, there are also a couple of places in Brixton Market, one of which at least is good but I can't remember which, sorry. Also, there is one on Abbeville Road which I've heard is good but haven't been, Comensal, I think. I'd second Cravings in Peckham for a good home cooked Mexican style (they also do arepa and guasacaca which I tried yesterday and was delicious). Wish there were more good Mexicans though! I'm afraid I don't count Wahaca in that any more.


For Peruvian food I do like the Ceviche restaurants - Ceviche in Soho and Old Street, and Andina in Shoreditch. Would love to know if there are others that are good.


For general SA/Mexican goods I love Sol Andina on the Old Kent Road, although Franklin's farm shop also stocks some of the Cool Chile range. Plus, there is a new Mexican cheese dairy in Peckham, http://gringadairy.com, not tried yet.

The Columbians I have worked with in the past got their lunches from a Columbian restaurant on the 1st floor of the Elephant & Castle complex.


They ate there daily as did I. I thought the food was delicious.

Oaxaca, sorry Wahaca, aint a South American restaurant, it is a British version of what we think is Mexcan food. If you go dowh Brixton Market there are a few Mexican inspired places that are better.


There is an odd Colombian canteen off Black PRince Road, but not a lot of help if I don't know the name.

Yep I was gonna say E&C. Obviously not for somewhere to take someone for a nice meal, as it's E&C, but if you just love south american food, you'll find something good there.

Must be La Bodeguita. Really authentic food, dancing ladies, the works. Went there for a friend's birthday many years ago - I had the ox tongue (which I don't recommend, but i didn't know I wouldn't like ox tongue until I tried it!) and I had my phone nicked (which j also don't recommend!). But if you order sensibly and keep your stuff in your pockets, it seem like a cool place :)

    • Hi  I really thought I'd seen a more recent post on the forum about home education meet ups. I can't find it though.

    • Thanks for your reply. I’ve subscribed to Ancestry a few times in the past but felt I wasn’t using it enough to warrant keeping up the subscription.    
    • Hi, I saw your post and just wanted to say that the incident you’re referring to did happen in the late 1980s at Dawson’s Heights. The person involved was named Carl Salawa, and he had just turned 18 years old at the time. Like you, I haven’t been able to find any news articles or official reports about it, If anyone remembers anything more about that time or incident, I’d really appreciate hearing about it. Thanks for sharing what you were told—it means a lot to know others remember.
    • Was anyone else disturbed last night/early hours this morning by the party going on in someone’s garden on Crystal Palace road. Can’t see what house exactly but it’s around number 43 - 41… it was happening quite frequently last year. Seems it’s starting again! Very inconsiderate.
