You might think of tapas, tequila and cocktails as a pretty formidable combination, and you’d be absolutely right to do so. Guests enjoy all three in equally delicious measure at El Patron, a fresh new Mexican restaurant and cocktail bar in the heart of Putney.

This is a really social affair made for gathering a group of mates together in delving deep into a tequila-heavy cocktail menu. The Scorpion and Escobar’s Secret are as quirky as their names might suggest, and slot in nicely with a punchy card worth checking out. Look out for their sharing cocktails if you’re prone to a party; they’re served in a piñata and ready for some stick!

There’s plenty for the foodie fan too. Tantalising tacos and bountiful burritos are lovingly created and cheerfully served, and there’s a vibrant entertainment and live music programme on offer here too.
