It comes from chefs Celia D’Ortiz and Jake BarwoodAfter running the Codillos sandwich pop-up last year (along with Dusty Knuckle and Bread Ahead baker Andy), Celia and Jake have taken the jump to a permanent space with Cantinera in Brockley. The yellow-fronted restaurant is their blend of a Mexican cantina and a Spanish tapas bar, and features a weekly changing blackboard menu of seasonal small plates.Dishes from the first few weeks have included the likes of:
red mullet tiradito and habanero mayo tostadacourgette & manchego croquetas with fried caperspork belly skewer with recado mayo potato tortilla with chile de arbol onion salsa and goat’s cheesebavette with peanut & prune mole and burnt shallotfig ice cream with caramel sauce and almondCantinera is currently open for dinner on Thursdays and lunch and dinner on Fridays and Saturdays, and on a walk-in basis, but the team is looking to extend these hours in the summer.
