katanita Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 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.

malumbu Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 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.

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.

Jocky Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 'Cravings' on Peckham Rye has some mental opening hours. I've tried to go on a Saturday and a Sunday around mid afternoon and both times it's been shut.

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 :) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/105879-best-mexican-south-american-restaurant-in-london/#findComment-1001463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
