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.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
