Santo Remedio - Asador, London Bridge

You're walking into proper fire-roasted territory here. Santo Remedio does the whole Mexican asador thing without the Instagram posturing—think whole lamb, beef ribs, and suckling pig that's been turning over coals all day. The room on Tooley Street has that industrial-but-warm vibe that works for the neighbourhood, and it's packed because people actually come for the food rather than the postcode. Expect to queue or book weeks ahead; expect your meat cooked properly and your wallet about £25-40 lighter.
