Tucked away on a residential street in the heart of Balham, 1910 Balham is the original home of 1910 Cantina. Opening in July 2020, we set out to bring the food, drinks, and traditions we grew up with in Mexico to our local neighbourhood ā quickly becoming one of Balhamās most loved cantinas.
Our menu is inspired by authentic family recipes and modern Mexican cooking, serving bold, flavour-packed tacos alongside traditional favourites. Our bar plays host to a vibrant selection of tequila and mezcal cocktails crafted from our ever-growing agave spirits collection.
1910 Balham is an informal, energetic neighbourhood cantina where everyone feels welcome ā a true taste of Mexico, right here in Balham.
