Where was Mendoza's?

I see Mendoza's mentioned a lot as an after hours drinking den operating in Brixton in the late 80s, where DJs Fabio and Grooverider first started playing in 88/89. Anyone know where it was, and what's there now?

I've seen the reference, but I can't say I've heard of it.

That summer, it seemed there were parties everywhere. When the clubs closed at 3am, no one wanted to go home. Those in the know would trek down to Mendoza's in Brixton, an illegal drinking den where local pirate radio DJs Fabio and Grooverider played acid house five nights a week after the clubs closed.

My guess would be maybe a railway arch or Taco Joes?

That sounds right. Taco Joes ended up as late night drinking hole.

Closed after incidents including a stabbing.
