Not much choice here I spose - the el paso one is a bit rough, but does big cocktails - I am no tkeen of peas in my fajitas to be honest - sort of scares me a bit - OK if you ant a good feed with plenty of carbs and cannot face the shrieking cackling masses in the other resturants and bars



although if you want authentic Mex food, then you need to go to the mean streets of brixton - the Dogstar has some on the best ive tasted in london....Mmmmmmm - seriously good.....just make sure you get an armed escort to your Humvee if you want to get out of Brix alive....

Yeah this is a tough one. My wife is American, so has pretty demanding tastes in the Mexican department (a bit like us Brits and Indian food)..


After reading some ok reports here, we went to check out El Paso just for some cocktails and nachos. Despite there being loads of free tables, the guy wouldn't let us stay for just drinks and snacks. So we left, never to return...


Anyway, after a exhaustive online search a few weeks back, it turns out Mr Snorky, that you are right re: Dogstar - their mexican kitchen is the ONLY place in London I have found to recieve universal praise. Their kitchen used to be down the road at the Hobgoblin (on the edge of Bricky). Well worth a try, though I'm not too sure about their Latin Sunday Roast.. anyone tried it?

Slip of the finger adelaide?


Anyway since you've brought this thread to my attention ..... I gotta tell you all about wahaca. I'm no judge as to how authentic mexican food should taste, but this place is fresh, clean, cheap and I've enjoyed everything I've tried there. I've been several times and never been dissapoointed.


Think it won Observer cheap eats this year..


Give it a go ... I know it's not local ..

i like wahaca


the test that i tend to apply to a restaurant is 'do i want to come here again?' - and for wahaca i've been back a couple of times and will keep on going back when a bit of mexican is in order

last i heard Dogstar, sadly, was no longer serving Mexican food from El Panzon. This according to an update from the facebook page of El Panzon. El Panzon still has a stall at Camden market but that doesn't do much for those of us in South London, unless he finds another pub to set up kitchen in.

NOoo - that is so sad. El Panzon was perfect for food before or after cinema in Brixton - much better than waiting ages for service for Ritzy Pizzas. There is always speedy noodle in Brixton I suppose. Not Mexican though. Boo.


There is a good little shop on a pedestrian road off Goodge St now though (the Starbucks). Again, not local but it does ok-priced burritos that are very good. Busy at lunch times. Last time I was there an odd break when they are closed between lunch ending around and dinner starting at 7 and they didn't have a license (yet).

    • 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!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
