Mexican food in East Dulwich

Recommended Posts

Hola amigos,

We've recently made a name for ourselves in Lewisham as purveyors of authentic Mexican street food https://www.facebook.com/lanosheria/

Having lived in East Dulwich for 20 odd years I'd really like to start something closer to home, possibly as a branch, maybe relocate - we don't know yet.

I'm looking for suggestions:

Would you like to see good Mexican food locally? There are a few in Peckham, some of which deliver locally, what's your take?

Do you have any suggestions for local popups or (preferably) residences in a pub or similar? Evening takeover of a daytime cafe could be a consideration (BYOB).

Any other suggestions would be most welcome, I attach a few pics from our recent photoshoot.

Gracias todos!

Perhaps a stall at the weekend (Saturday) market on North Cross Road could be an initial step to get yourself known in the area, meet locals/customers and while you?re at it gauge interest and open a channel that may lead to (additional) info about a subsequent pop-up opportunity ?

A North Cross Road stall is a nice idea. But is the "route 66" burrito van still there? I'm not sure. Also, I understand it's quite hard to get a pitch.


Speaking of North Cross road, 57 North Cross Road is a dedicated pop-up dining venue... if you wanted to try it as a ticketed supper-club type thing?


I can't think of any pubs in ED looking for food providers, they all seem to have established kitchens. There's a Brew By Number taproom on Bellenden Rd... I don't think they have food (yet).


Existing options in Peckham - I like Taco Queen but it's always so busy... frankly I can't be arsed to queue for a table. Cravings is fine for a quick, cheap takeaway... I use it quite a lot, to be honest.


I can't help but think that takeaway/delivery is more lucrative these days. Then you don't need to be on the high street (rents along Lordship Lane, for example, are really high).

The site of the old Moulin restaurant between landells Road and Barry Road has been empty for some years. The owners assured us that they were going to reopen it as a restaurant after it has been refurbished. The refurbishments looks complete but no sign of any catering outlet. They may be prepared to rent out the place. We have a Chinese and Indian takeaway plus a kebab place - would welcome a Mexican. Plenty of footfall in this area as Dulwich Library/Park/Sainsbury's etc.

ED is missing variety and Mexican (not TEXMEX) would be a welcome addition. We regularly go to Taco Queen as it is a favourite, so would definitely make to ED for really good Mexican!!!.....so please set up causal eatery, Mexican style, with a good tequila list...

    • The most recent one did, despite the council making it very difficult for anyone to object (which interestingly they were forced to change for the CPZ consultation and look how that went for them). I will dig out the responses for you when I have more time so you can enlighten yourself.   Ha ha...the language used by councils when they see the results of a consultation and need an out to ignore the views of locals...;-) Did you not notice how this only became a thing once the consultation had been run....one wonders why!? Earl you can bluster all you like but you cannot ignore the fact the council closed the junction to emergency services and put lives at risk and resisted all calls (from the emergency services) to open it for them. Surely you can't defend that  or are you willingly turning a blind eye to that too?
    • I believe around 57% of the 5,538 people who were part of the self selecting sample making up the original consultation, opposed the LTN. So just over 3,000 people. This was around 3 years ago now. I think there’s something like 40,000+ living across se22 and SE21 🤷‍♂️  The LTN is a minority interest at best. Whilst it’s an obsession for a small number on the transport thread who strongly oppose it, I suspect most locals quietly approve of the improvements made to that junction. …and we still haven’t heard who has supposedly been pressurising the emergency services and how (are we seriously going with the far left / the commies)? Is anyone willing to stand up and support the 'One' claim that people are partially covering their plates and driving through the filters due to inadequate signage? Again, it all sounds a little ridiculous / desperate. Feels like it may be time for them to start coming to terms with the changes.
    • Okay Earl, of those 'consulted' how many voices were in favour of the junction and how many against? Were there more responses in favour or more against? This local junction change is being driven by Southwark Labour Councillors- not as you assert by Central Govt. Also, if consultations are so irrelevant as indicators of meaningful local support in the way you seem to imply, why do organisations like Southwark Cyclists constantly ask their members to respond to all and any consultation on LTN's and CPZ's?  
    • You could apply the same argument to any kind of penalty as an effective deterrent.  Better than doing nothing.
