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!




W**F

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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
