It's one block from the Police Station on Lordship Lane, the food might be good but I never tried it because of the lighting system ( it seems like a Uni canteen in Dakota USA )and the they do not clean the front windows very often. If someone on this forum strongly reccomends it, I will make the effort and try it out. B)

It looks a bit tacky from outside but the food there is great! It's good when it's really busy too as it's a good atmosphere. You can pick from anything traditional mexican (tortillas, enchiladas, fajitas, nachos, chile con carne, etc) to your more simple (and HUGE) burgers with fries etc. To drink is good spanish/mexican beers, a great cocktail list and of course SANGRIA! This service is great and it's pretty well priced too. I highly recommend it.

I used to be a regular customer in "never on a sunday" steakhouse, and when it changed hands in the early 1990's I was very disappointed, especially when I saw tons of orange paint and a mexican chappie with a large hat being painted on the outside of the building. However, it isnt so bad, perhaps a million miles off of the standard of Mexican cuisine you would expect in the states, but not the worst place in the world if you like this sort of food...

Everyone time someone puts a negative comment on this forum about this place I feel forced to balance the views up a bit.


It's a top laugh - don't go as a "foodie" or you will be disappointed, but order a jug of Margherita, enjoy the good service and stuff your face (the servings are massive) on bog standard Mexican for decent prices.... I've always enjoyed it there and it's a cheap night out by ED standards.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
