Yayita's Latin Bites

Elephant and Castle’s Best Cafes, Bars, and Snacks | Eater London

"The furthest satellite of the shopping centre’s La Bodeguita, this is their modestly-sized Walworth Road outpost for breads, coffees and snacks. Mini empanadas of beef or chicken showcase a thick, crisp crust concealing sticky, slow-cooked meat, while almojabanas — cheese buns — must be consumed straight from the oven with a coffee or hot chocolate to best enjoy their soft, spongy texture and slightly tart lactic flavour. Most intriguing are the lunch bowls — takeaway tubs filled generously with chorizo, pork belly, chicken or shredded beef with beans and lentils, which make them a direct (and far better) competitor to Pret’s protein pots." - Jonathan Nunn
