Hi All,


Just want to spread the word about this place. Whilst I love Wahaca (not the queues) and Chalangos is OK if desparate, I've found something a little more authentic without being an old school stodgefest! I discovered this place in November when forced to move to a flat in Borough temporarily whilst my house is being rebuilt. My house will be ready next month but I'm not sure I can live so far from this place.


El Vergel started off as a tiny mexican cafe in a side street in Borough below my flat and have recently moved to a larger premises on Southwark Bridge Road.


Opening times are a little odd but they are now open Saturday nights.


They do a mean mexican breakfast of refried beans, spicy piquante scrambled eggs, fried chorizo and village bread and plenty of specials... check the website for the full menu.

Enjoy!

the courts were their main source of income and hence the late opening and early closing times focussing on lunches .... but now they have moved you get a broader cross sectionof clientele ... it's a v decent alernative to Borough market when you can't feel your hands on Thursday / Friday lunchtime.


Yes I'd say it's pretty child friendly

wow... El Vergel... it's still there... I love that place... I used to rent a studio just round the corner in Southwark Bridge Road... they had this amazing steak thing with a salsa sauce/chopped arrangement (can't remember what was in it... onions and sugar/lime juice and fresh herbs and stuff) that was the most tasty thing you ever did try ....

total YUM...I'd forgotten about all about...

it used to only be open in the day time though... any change to this Benjaminty???

Relax


No matter how many refried beans you eat, or how many "chimmy changas " you consume, don't believe the house will be ready next month, It won't. Builders believe their own lies / truth


Accept it now & plan your ventures to this retreat while you can.


It may be "cheap" but have you had the "EXTRAS" bill on the house, it may be "pot noodle" time soon


Enjoy!

They can do all the extras they want! Major flood from loft conversion down to basement = very expensive Household and Contents claim. The cost of my excesses have not as yet impacted my eating habits thank god.


I reckon I have around 8 more visits before I leave but I may up frequency towards to end. I guess it's like going on a drug binge before going into rehab.... only I may actually be eating cold turkey when I get home.

    • It’s even worse this weekend, the bass is unbearable.    The fact SE22 is getting upset about something in an entirely different Borough probably suggests how bloody loud it is that we can still hear it from here!? It must be awful for those living right next to it as I feel stressed enough from half an hour away. I don’t see any benefit to the local community, it blocks off our green spaces, makes it deeply unpleasant to be at home every weekend, and most attending will be from outside of the area. I also wonder if these events are the reason there are so many dead fish currently bobbing around the lake in brockwell park? Pretty miserable for the local wildlife too.
