Bamboula
Decorated in the red, gold and green of the Jamaican flag, this takeaway/restaurant is cheap and cheerful, serving jerk chicken, oxtail, curried goat, ackee and saltfish, rice and peas, plantain and other Caribbean classics. Bread pudding laced with rum brings up the rear very nicely.

Cottons Rhum Shop, Bar & Restaurant
Far more enticing than it sounds, Cottons is one of the most authentic Caribbean eateries in town, offering up robust island specials like jerk chicken and curried goat, and specialising in outrageously head-banging rum-based cocktails. The friendly atmosphere and cheerful surroundings will bring out the party monster in anyone.

Green & Red
Mexican food is enjoying something of a renaissance in London and this bar and cantina is a welcome addition to Banglatown. The shack-like décor sets the mood for such authentic dishes as slow-cooked pork belly with chillies and orange salt and roasted vegetable in chilli salsa. In the bar downstairs choose your poison from among the more than 100 tequilas on offer.

Mango Room
With delightful pastel décor and genteel service, Mango Room is a kind of decaf Caribbean experience, although there's no holding back with the food: cod fritters with apple chutney, salt fish with ackee (a yellow-skinned Jamaican fruit that has an uncanny resemblance to scrambled eggs), and curried goat with hot pepper and spices. The early-ska/Jamaican-jazz soundtrack is wicked.

Mestizo
If your idea of Mexican food is tacos and gluggy refried beans, think again. At this large and very attractive restaurant and tequila bar just down from the Latin Quarter guitar shop you'll find everything from quesadillas (cheese-filled pasties) to filled corn enchiladas . But go for the specials: pozole, a thick fresh corn soup with meat, and several different preparations of mole, chicken or pork cooked in a rich sauce containing everything but the proverbial sink (including chocolate).
