A vibrant, authentic stall in Peckham's Rye Lane Market serving hand-pressed tortillas and soulful fillings amidst a backdrop of flip-flops and occasional techno beats.
Ordering Strategy
Order at the chalkboard menu counter and grab a seat in the shared food court; focus heavily on the 'meaty numbers' (Tongue, Pastor, Carnitas) and grab a Horchata.
What to order
Al Pastor Tacos
Critics describe the meat as consistently delectable, featuring a tender, fatty texture with a "fruity sweetness" that outshines more famous London competitors.
Chicken Pozole
A "generously hefty portion" of soup with "eminent hold-the-bowl-up-to-your-face scoffability," filled with corn kernels that have a yielding crispness and chunks of chicken cooked just right.
Lengua (Tongue) Tacos
Often cited as the best filling on the menu; it is chunky and coarse with a slight "offaly funk" that remains tender and "squidgy in its unctuousness."
Pastel de Tres Leches
This rich dessert is "sodden with lactic goodness" while remaining structurally sound and fluffy, making for a delightfully sweet finish.
