London: Comida Fest

 

Comida Fest is a vibrant Latin American street food market offering drinks, food and music in the South Bank.  The next dates are this coming weekend 18th & 19th June.
Expect Live bands, DJs, children’s & families’ activities, games, dance workshops and master classes – all things Latin American. This tropical festival of delicious food by The Thames celebrates all the best of South America fare. There’s something for the most adventurous to the more conservative eaters.

I had a chance to sample their offerings, and I must say they were all delicious, well presented and reasonably priced. Eat fabulous and tasty food with views over the River Thames and the amazing  London city landscape this weekend! It is an event for everyone:  family, singles, couples, children and pet-friendly too.
