Authentic Latin American steak, tacos, and empanadas
"London loves a little chain. Almost as much as it loves a taco. So, with La Chingada’s third location, you have a winning combination. The Mexican restaurant abandoned its short-lived steak endeavour in Bermondsey and has instead given the people what they wanted. Which, in this case, is chicken tinga tostadas that are juicy, crunchy, and a right old mess, in a space that just as easily suits margarita-fuelled groups as it does an early solo dinner. These days, the tacos here feel solid, rather than the outright finest in London. And with any La Chingada location, it feels dependent on the time and who’s in the kitchen. But this location is the most comfortable one and taco-happy Bermondsey locals seem to feel the same. Food Rundown Chicken Tinga Tostada A crunchy taco shell that’s generously piled with black beans and moist, pulled chicken. It’s impossible to argue with this combination. Almost as impossible as it is to eat this without using a hundred napkins. photo credit: Jake Missing Lamb Birria Tacos These corn tacos are the right size and have excellent hold, despite the juiciness of the lamb. The birria sauce could certainly do with greater depth and oomph, but dollop on that chipotle salsa and you’ll be more than happy. photo credit: Jake Missing Pork Pozole With Tacos Dorados This glowing red soup is filled with soft corn kernels and chunks of pork carnitas. There are strands of tender meat and the broth is enjoyably tender. Tacos dorados, fried cheese and potato sticks topped with sour cream, are a soothing combination. photo credit: Jake Missing" - Jake Missing
"True to its name, Carnívoro Grill is a place to come when you have a primal need for red meat. The South American grill restaurant in Bermondsey is from the same people as La Chingada and they take their grilling and their sauces seriously. A charred and reasonably priced rib-eye isn’t the chunkiest slab of beef in the world, but it is an expertly cooked one. It’s a place where drinks are encouraged to flow, and tables of friends pair giant frozen margaritas with lamb birria empanadas. Things on the side are something of a let-down: a limp and warm caesar with packet croutons, or straight out of the bag fries. But if an unadulterated focus on steak, ribs, and the occasional seafood skewer sounds alright, Carnívoro Grill will satisfy those cravings." - Jake Missing
"Carnívoro is a meat-heavy Mexican restaurant in Bermondsey, from the people behind La Chingada. It’s all leather seats, bull’s horn logos, and bottles of red. As for the food, expect picanha skewers and plates loaded with chorizo, black pudding, sirloin steaks, rib-eye, and sweet breads. It’s a four-hour nap waiting to happen.
