Best Mexican food in London and this comes from a girl who is born and raised in North Mexico, this place is a must visit! Excelente comida! Try the Street Tacos .

James Pimentel-Pinto

The first Mexican restaurant in London and with its new , improved menu and better ingredients this is a winner . Tom Estes , the owner brought Tequila to Europe and is now the official ambassador :)

Ruth Weal

Amazing, combo fajita (steak/chicken) was full of flavour and very reasonably priced for the amount of food, The wonderful homemade guacamole and salsa was worth it alone, can't wait to go back again!

Jessi @2feet1world

Tasty Mexican with some great house specialities - the steak salad is spicy and HUGE! Delicious margaritas and a great cocktail list .

Gianni Pablo

Nachos and margarita ! Also should try fajita and Pacifico beer , it is a destination that every time I come london I always eat in.

Philip Allega

Sit at the bar . Ask for the best tequilas and splurge. Stay away from Padron, Sauza. Herradura , Centennario & the ilk and get jiggy with the jig!

Dominic Smith

Always busy but don't let that put you off. Turnaround is quick so grab a drink (margarita tradicional!) at the bar and you'll have a table in no time. Great enchiladas .

James Pimentel-Pinto

I love this place . The first Mexican in London since '76 and the friendliest vibe . Good to see my old friend Kai here - the manager of the extinct Charlotte st La Perla who schooled me on tequila !

Graeme Boyd

Good Tex-Mex, the burrito especial is a whole lot of eating. No 'proper' hot sauce available (although the staff were really helpful), but the house chipotle is tasty.

Jo Halstead

Good Mexican food . Not too sure about the beany goop that comes with most meals. I prefer Wahaca for the more zingy and fresh flavours , or Benito's Hat for a quick bite . Yummy caipirinhas though.

Delicious Mexican food in very nice ambiance. Highly Recommended 👍🏼👍🏼

Evelyn Blanco

Nothing like the authentic Mexican food , but considering Mexico is many kilometers away, this place is great. Try the chicken , mole enchiladas !! Add a side order of guacamole , so good!!

María

Good alternative to the well-known chains: this place offers decent and unpretentious food.

Nice place and decor. The chilli con carne is good but fiery, if you can handle it you'll love it. A 12.5% tip is automatically added to the bill.

Ah Sa

The tempura sea bass and king prawn tacos were delicious. They were very busy but food came out quite quick.

Charlotte L

Smoked chicken quesadillas are great, guacamole is a bit too smooth, street tacos are pretty good. The margaritas are decent but I wish they had more options!

Franz Vitulli

The pulled pork tacos were really good. Service seemed good and reliable to me, also careful to allergy requirements.

Ollie Martin

Good luck getting a table. Either book ahead or come in a small group.

Cyndie Da Rocha

It is a Good Mexican for London, and not a chain. But the venue's design and furniture are really too basic and simple to actually want to come back.

Colette

Good tex mex food! So great you can get 20% off with a foursquare check even during peak times. Will return fo' sure.

Patrick Salvi

Great food, nice staff and surprisingly quiet on Sunday afternoon for a quick dinner .

Raul Hernandez Lopez

Amazing margaritas and tacos

Carl M

Food and service are great, a busy restaurant so make sure you book a table.

Jill MacKenzie

Great Mexican food , goid portions. Fish is lovely. Great cocktails .

Mihnea Miculescu

The classic margaritas are great! The food is ok too, try the fajitas .

Matthew B

Awesome chimichanga . Probably the best Mexican food I've ever had and extremely generous portions .

Aris Vrakas

Have a couple of drinks at the bar before you get a table. Herradura tequila is great. Margharitas are good, daquiries maybe too sweet; other Latin drinks are available. The food rocks.

David Holloway

Authentic Mexican food . The home made salsa is amazing. Good prices too.

Dilay Kibar

Chimicimanga, very good. Fahita beef , perfect. Pacifico margarita very good

Aleksandar Vacić

Great Smoked duck tacos . Cabernet / Malbec wine is awesome.

Tiago Sa

Good for groups . Nice for a light dinner before a night out

Ayca

delicious dinner & fun with our kids❤️💚💙

Wojtek Siudzinski

Closest thing to the original Mexican taste on this side of the Atlantic

Javier Deorador

Great cocktails , nice ambient and the best service

Matthew Craig-Greene

Just order drinks at the bar - they will have to bring you free food so as not to contravene UK liquor license laws

Yara Abi Nader

GREAT FAJITAS! Take the mixed chicken beef for two :)

BarChick

Sip on the delicious and delicate Olmeca Altos reposado , or have it in their awesome margarita !

Javier Deorador

Cena de Global Premium, Fantastic Cocktails with Capucana and Ysabell Regina!

Mark Isherwood

Has to be Fajitas all the way, super portion size and great taste

James Smith

Street tacos were ok, tacos themselves weren't as soft as they should be. Good chips & salsa and margaritas . Service was a little slow

Rob Williams

Go for the degustacion del Pacifico if you can't decide.

Sophia V

A lively place but could do better with food and margueritas. Try el nivel instead

Fabien Butazzi

This place is OK. If they keep their lunch deal it may be worth another visit but I'm really unimpressed. Service is average too.

Ricardo Soares

Great Mexican food !!

Bruce Govia

Always get some tequila with any food....things are jus better that way

Tiago Sa

The only problem with this restaurant is the noise! You'll need to shout to be hear unfortunately

Scott Sullivan

Good food but the street tacos needed an extra tortilla layer.

Sam M

Uninspiring food, lacking flavour and freshness - two things I expect in abundance from Mexican cuisine when done properly.

Wai-Mon Lie

Always big queues here so get here bit early or put your name down, have few tequilas at the bar while you wait.

Lisa Clayton

Greatest Mexican food in london , wish I'd found it sooner.
