Does anyone know if the new incarnation of the Tex Mex (Dos Amigos)is part of a chain - I dont want to start another riot re. chains etc, but i have noticed a few of these places springing up with exactly the same fascia. One has just opened in north kent near my office, which seems an odd expansion plan. I guess they will have also binned the stuffed crocidile too - wished they'd had an auction, those sombreros were awesome.

It is still dead tacky but better than it being estate agency chic, all plastic and clean sans serif fonts like most places. I suppose they could try to make it look properly classy but that would be a bit silly for a tacky tex mex. It adds a bit of colour. Like vomit on a station platform.

Dos Amigos is a chain for sure.

They currently have branches in Clapham/Battersea and one in Beckenham High Street.

I have been to the one in Beckenham a couple of times after having been invited by friends. The food isnt bad but generally its not my preferred cuisine. But you couldnt fault the place really. It's been there about 3 years now and seems to be doing quite well with the locals. Many friends go regularly for parties and also just for drinks (they have a huge cocktails menu) and have never complained.

We shall have to wait and see what happens with the ED Branch.

The Mexican in Herne Hill delivers to SE22 - it wasn't the worst thing I've ever eaten but I never went back


I doubt the new LL place will deliver food but going out for even a mediocre mexican is usually a good night.


On a slightly related note - I popped into the Vale at lunchtime last Friday (yes yes I know..) and had their chili. The opposite of the gloopy-red-over-sweet chilis pubs normally serve it was decidedly lush and I will be going back for more. There, I said it...

Took the missus there a few years back (she's Colombian) and she was not impressed with the food as she would know good Latin American cooking better than most. I always thought the food they served was O.K but seeing as I didn't get any action that night it looks as though I was wrong.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls.
