Amazing place, the best authentic Mexican food I have had in the UK, the tacos “Al Pastor ” are really good, the quesadilla with the blue corn tortilla and the Cheese takes me back to MX in seconds.

Bonnie Wong

Get the Aguachile De Cameron(ceviche) to start, and Al Pastór , Pastor de Pescado for tacos !! Also recommend the tequila cocktail with grapefruit juice as base.

Amazing place, the best authentic Mexican food I have had in the UK, the tacos “Al Pastor ” are really good, the quesadilla with the blue corn and the Oaxaca cheese just took me back to MX in seconds

Alejandro Lopez

Authentic and tasty Mexican food just off Borough Market . They serve micheladas too! Great friendly service and good value for money .

Gi

Authentic tasting Mexican tacos ! Finally a place that gets it right, felt at home! Get all 3 salsas with your tacos . Oh & gringas are delicious. Food is a bit on the expensive side for tacos though!

No4emi GV

Best Mexican restaurant ever! Excellent food and drink, great tacos and very authentic flavour. A bit pricey but definitely worth it.

Heather Rodriguez

Good, solid tacos . Stick with the classics and you'll be fine. Don't get into the fancier stuff. Great place. Need better beers though.

Wesley A'Harrah

Order a sopa de tortilla as a starter, start your taco safari with the Al Pastó. Show off and put a dot of the el diablo sauce on a taco , then double down with the del vic.

Marcia Lee

Everything is ???????? dead on and authentic . Note: two person pricing is per person I.e. Carnitas is £7 but minimum 2 people, so £14 for the dish

Julia Sandler

Tuna tostada , carnita , prawn taco and quesadillas were all winners!!

Maggie Freegard

Popular and seating tight. Great food. Short rib particularly good. El diablo salsa presents as a paste with nothing to go with it.

Betsy & Jason Lancy

Chicken tacos were delicious (and small, and expensive , but worth it!) Wish they offered the option of tortilla chips with their salsas .

Brandon West

Solid Mexican food in London. Bit expensive compared to US prices but worth it if you're craving some tacos .

Cheryl

Yikes most reviews claim this is authentic Mexican. Al pastor has 1/8 of the flavor of what you’d find in California/Mexico. Passes as edible. Plus is freshly made tortillas which they are so proud of

Cannis Chan

Get the short ribs ! Flavourful tacos ???? and friendly staff .

Dave Batten

Go for the short rib . Perfection, especially with the caramelised pineapple salsa

RRR

Freshly made tortillas , made in the Bermondsey tortilleria with corn imported from Mexico ????????

Aniruddha Mandke

Authentic Mexican food - comparable to New York. Not recommended for families on weekends.

Gwen Hdw

Great quesadillas . Portions real small but tasty. Margaritas are great but again here, really small.

Luke Ng

Skip the guac and go straight for the carnitias they're great. Not a true Mexican but definitely one of London's best.

ASK Gwen Cash

The carnita tacos were so good. Being from Texas, it hit the spot.

Ben Fields

Really legit Mexican, though their house margarita is a bit different over sweetened

Emmanuel X

Quite new so expect some teething issues. Bit disorganised, waiter didn't call out discontinued menu items until we ordered them. Guacamole portion is tiny for the price

Paul Lomax

Amazing authentic corn Tacos

John LND

delicious Mexican dishes with a modern touch, cool buzzing ambiance

Jeremy Bing

Superb Tacos , hands down my favourite place for Mexican food .

Eva George

The food was delicious, but you get very little for your money. The tacos were the same size or smaller than Wahaca tacos , but were £3+ more expensive and you only got 2 instead of 3!

Hui-ern Ng

The short rib is just to die forrrr

Mat Smith

Tacos , new menu options. (Like soft shell crab tacos...)

Brooke Louise

Vegan pumpkin sharing plate thing. Guac . Chips .

Alexandru Stoica

Food portions are definitely small for the prices. They do however taste great :)

Caroline Black

The frozen margaritas are a must order!

Paresh

Carnitas = best value by far

Ceara Pixie

Really margaritas . It’s pretty pricey for what it is. Good for birthdays and a large group catch up.

Jon Davies

No door. So there’s a cold draught through the dining space in winter.

Edward Petrush

Great small bites and margaritas !

Maggie Freegard

Small venue but great food.

Adrián

As a Mexican, I give this a reluctant seal of approval. Tacos don't need to be this expensive !

Liza Tripsget

Decent tacos , but the price is really high. Ended up eating almost nothing and having one drink and paying £50

Iva Nedeleva

Food was amazing!

Liz L

Rip-off. Tiny, tasteless tacos and quesadillas . Way overpriced for bad quality. Also the tiny tables pack people in. Go somewhere else overpriced and you'll enjoy it more

Vikash

Great tacos

Davy Davis

Mezcal and quesadillas

D M

Overpriced but the food is excellent

Laura L

It was hard to get service and it wasn’t the most comfy . Food was fine

Ben De Voeght

To expensive !!

Wendy Verbraecken

Unfriendly staff , very small portions and expensive

Carlos Adriazola

Los frijoles charros y los tacos al pastor son buenísimos acompañados de unas cervezas Pacífico . El agua es gratis.
