Tex Mexton!

Casa Morito in Market Row

Any good? I've not been there.

 

[pissflaps]

it's not bad at all. Bit pricey, but then again where isn't?

 

[Badgers]

Any good? I've not been there.

I have not been (prefer to cook my own Mexican food) and reviews are mixed. To be honest I find El Panzon inconsistent so don't really bother there either.

Why there are no great Mexican restaurants in London

Best I've had in London was at La Perla in Covent Garden. Still wasn't a patch on the stuff I got in LA.

Ha. Look at you all discussing in detail the relative merits of various poncy food places. Clearly old school Brixton has no interest in new eateries. This is all being driven by the young toff newcomers.

El Panzon

I thought El Panzon was Columbian - and anyway it's closed.

It's now La Cabaña that claims to be a South American Tapas Bar - see here. The people there say it's the same but a little bit different.

I have been clear with my views throughout. And I'm hardly 'old school Brixton' anyway. Would prefer not to be associated with the place at all.

http://www.elpanzon.co.uk/ website is dead

They have always billed themselves as Mexican

If you don't mind going a little further afield, La Tacqueria over near Westbourne Park does very good Mexican food. I went out with a Mexican woman a few years ago and that's where she went for a taste of home.

You're kidding right? I'd heard that one requires a passport to venture quite that far afield.

Passport and jabs for that part of the world.

Got a link? I might apply for the BriXo lols

I just saw a sign on their shutter, can't remember the contact details. But they do have a site.

A colleague in the industry advised me that you are currently recruiting for your exciting new venture in Granville Arcade. I am passionate about service and have outstanding hosting skills which would suit the bistro environment.

As a resident of Brixton I know the vibrant village set up well and have enjoyed dining experiences on several occasions.

" Badgers my good man, I would like to order a jeroboam of the Waris-Larmandier 2004."

In line with the latest recruitment thinking you will be expected to do a song and dance at interview. I suggest you rehearse this:
