I've eaten there - never been back. Was Ok for what it is but something was definately not quite right. The loo was upstairs and to get there it felt like I was going through the family's dining room with the family all eating their tea. Unusual to say the least.

I heard the food is so-so but the cocktails are good. Amazed at myself for not having been there yet as I'm a tex-mex/mexican food nut. I'm pretty sure 'El Passo' is only supposed to have one 's', though, which has put me off a bit!


Maybe we should have the forum Cinco de Mayo celebrations there next year?! (I'm kidding)

Went there a couple of weeks back on a Saturday evening and it was pretty full. Okay so it's tacky TexMex, but 4 of us had tasty, filling food, a jug of very nice sangria (sp?) and a couple of beers for under ?70, I don't think that's at all bad, and we all enjoyed it (tu)
Me and Mrs Rob - and various SE22 affiliates - have eaten in there quite a few times. It is the tackiest thing since the invention of glue-topped tacks, but the margaritas are very strong and the pefectly adequate food soaks them up with the minimum of fuss. Personally, I LOVE the fact it looks like it's been transplanted from Cleethorpes circa 1978...
I'm sorry, it reminds me of the Eurovision song contest i.e. BEYOND A JOKE. It is the Fawlty Towers of Mexican restaurants. On my one and only visit I was seated next to a decaying crocodile skin held together with masking tape. The service was bad and the food was proper 1970s awful. The place was filthy too. You would have to have a lot of those cocktails to want to go there again. Is the fact that it's often empty really so surprising?

I lived in Cleethorpes circa 1978 and I can assure you that a Mexican Restaurant was way off the radar back then. We did have 1 indian restaurant though where you had to where a tie to get in.


I've eaten in El Passo twice, and both times the "boil in the bag" style rice have put me off.

Must be the only restaurant on Lordship Lane that I haven't eaten in. I can't say I'm a great lover of Mexican food, so it just hasn't appealed to me. My sister and brother-in-law went in there last week though and said it was pretty good, especially the Margaritas but that ain't saying much.

    • How long is a piece of string? AI was a bit rubbish on this one, but Checatrade : average cost to paint a house exterior is around £30 per square metre So depends on the size, access, time to put up scaffolding and cost of hiring and building that, surface preparation, and quality of materials.   Checkatrade put it at £2.5 k for average semi, that sounds a little cheap.
    • Wow what a lot of reactionary stuff going on here.  Even by the high bar set by others on the EDF. So let's start with the title.  I thought wrong season for leaves on the pavement.  A bit late for ice, but it can still happen.  We all know about uneven pavements and tree roots.  Oh my word, perhaps Zombie apocalypse or sink holes.  Those damned Lime bikes?  But no, a four year old. The streets are rightly or wrongly full of kids scooting and cycling to schools in the morning.  Would or could a four year old cause a serious injury hitting an adult, perhaps but unlikely.  I'd rather a child on two wheels on the pavement than a car driving them to school. As said we are judging this on the original post.  We were not there.  We can not speculate. How this is victim (were you really a victim?) blaming, I don't know. How my response, similar to the previous two, is revolting, heavens knows. There is a serious conversation to be had about middle class parents.  My they can be annoying. And similarly for teenagers, adults, in particularly illegal ebikes including delivery riders, on the pavements, There are threads on the latter on here already.   But a four year old?  Really?? PS off to watch Newsnight and some more serious matters.
    • I’ve sent you a private message about a sofa for sale : ) 
    • Seems to be a lot of victim blaming going on here. Clearly a four year old child should not be riding a bike on a pavement out of sight of the adult who is supposed to be caring for him. Also clearly if the child ran into somebody from behind, he is not ready to be riding a bike in a place where people may be walking. Quite apart from the adult who in this case could have been badly hurt, so could the child. I wonder how those people on here asking how it was handled would have reacted if it had been them? All sweetness and light and apologies for having had the temerity to get in the way of the child? I'm pretty sure I would have been extremely shocked and annoyed.
