El Rancho De Lalo (Brixton)

• Bandeja Paisa is simply amazing
• As the place is not very big
• It was always interesting and eclectic with great food
• With an empty stomach and having passed their tables at the front heaving with plates of meat
• There really was no other choice
• The market restaurant is quite cosy and usually full
• Their Spanish is generally better and if you have anything complicated to get across it can get lost in translation
• Sharing the dining space with you and the other customers
• I shared a small table with a middle aged Colombian woman
• Her starter soup (or was it casserole
• Meanwhile I couldn't help notice what was on other people's plates
• In the middle that was oddly reminiscent of roast chestnuts
• On the table was a bowl of chilli dip that carried the unmistakeable diffusion of scotch bonnet peppers
• Beaten into thin arcs were tender and well cooked and the plantain firm and sweet
• The whole meal was filling and delicious
• Not hard on the poker and the girls who work there are all very nice too
• Brixton village is also an interesting place to visit
• Brixton village is full of wonderful places to eat
• Beans and salad this dish was a mouth full
• There were so many different flavours and it was incredible to taste so many different meats
