I have heard that the Mexican restaurant wants to expand on both the ground and first floors - which seems strange as it is never busy enough to need that kind of expansion. It would appear that the restaurant has been sold/will be sold to a restaurant chain based in Sydenham(?).


I may got my wires crossed - does anyone have any more information?

It's a good space, in a good location


The quality of the food has been debated on here several times (quick summary from my perspective - overly salty and not especially good food but I usually have a great night when I'm there)


It is clearly a bit knackered looking and in need of something - "a chain from Sydenham"? - would that be the people behind the Dolphin and Dartmouth arms in Forest Hill?

oh Jesus no! don't touch that place. When we moved in it was the first place we tip-toed into not knowing what to expect. We got hammered (and still do with every visit) on their Mcocktails! They are always heaving on a Saturday night. The upstairs is a great space but needs some tlc.

I love the place for all it's cheeseyness! Would hate to see it go, especially if replaced by a Dartmouth/Dolphin type place (that's nothing against them, but they are not needed on LL!).


Interestingly (perhaps :-S), there is a very similar tex mex place opposite the Dolphin in Sydenham!

Not necessarily - Frida Kahlo was Mexican and she had a moustache!

Until you have experiened The mex at the Dogstar in brix, then you will never reach the apex of Mexi good.


LL Mex is OK - hardly original or healthy, but OK quality stodge and jugs of cocktails make it all worthwhile


The Daily Substandards Fay maschler would refuse to enter its doors ( or even go south the the River ) , but then again, she is a po faced old shitehawk, so thats not a bad thing

Shitehawk?


This man is a lexicographer.


It's probably a reflection of my lack of imagination, but despite seven years in ED, I could never cross the lintel beneath that leering orange effigy. It's neither man nor woman, but an embodiment, nay an anthropomorph of pure evil.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
