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 :)

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
