Café Sol London is a Mexican restaurant, cocktail bar and late night venue at 56 Clapham High Street. It first opened in Clapham in 1997 and has remained a sociable destination for meals, celebrations and nights out. The room is relaxed enough for an early dinner, then becomes increasingly lively as music and dancing take over later in the evening.
The food centres on familiar Mexican and Tex Mex flavours made for groups to share. Tacos, quesadillas, nachos and fajitas combine spiced fillings with salsa, guacamole, cheese and fresh garnishes, while burgers add another substantial choice. Generous portions and a broad selection make it easy to build either a quick meal or a full table for friends.
Regular offers give different evenings their own character. Taco Tuesday pairs food with salsa and bachata classes, Burger Wednesday focuses on a casual midweek meal, and Thursday highlights a chicken and steak fajita combination. These events reinforce the restaurant’s energetic approach without losing sight of the food that brings guests in before the music begins.
Cocktails are central to Café Sol, particularly classic and flavoured margaritas, daiquiris and large drinks designed for sharing. Happy hour runs alongside the early evening food service, while resident DJs and club nights continue on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The result is a venue that moves naturally from Mexican dining to a late Clapham party.
Address: 56 Clapham High Street, Clapham, London SW4 7UL, United Kingdom
