We booked for our anniversary date , the food was great , try definitely tacos , guacamole , pork belly and the lamb , greetings to my waitress Aleksandra who organised the menu for us. We will be back!

Pork belly is awesome! Big portion for good price. Rest leaning on expensive . Music is quite loud so hard to have conversations. FYI outside looks like a sex shop on the outside

Stavros Aerakis

Quesadillas are really good! Try the crab and the beef tacos ! Also have some of the ceviches and of course the RIB EYE ! Enjoy

Josh Taroli

They have two restaurants in the same building. You can enter the 'secret' underground restaurant through the adult shop on the back. Beware that it's more sophisticated / pricier downstairs!

Shahrzad Shams

One of my fav drinking/dining spots in Soho, London. A must if you are into cocktails and especially Old Fashion and Margarita . Superb food too!

Milos Gajdos

Chef selection of tacos is ????

Thunder Cat

The "secret" entrance through a sex shop facade adds an excellent moment of theatre which is matched by the excellent Mexican cuisine . Hugely enjoyable evening meal.

Portfoleo

Soho's brand new hot-right-now Mexican restaurant serving tacos , steaks and margaritas in a cellar of fun accessed via what appears to be a gaudy, neon-signed sex shop . Take lots of friends.

Stylesight

Don’t be fooled by the ‘Sex Shop ’ sign, La Bodega Negra is well-hidden in a Soho basement and serves some of the best Mexican food in town . The dark and stylish , a perfect place to sample tequila .

YOUhome

Super atmospheric serving traditional Mexican food with a twist. The decor adds to the excitement and this is a great place to start your evening.

Mercy Ogole

My favourite by far! In my top 3. Food, music , drinks, atmosphere, service, sex shop shop front. Oui oui oui s'il vous plait

Stef G

Incredible tacos al pastor--just like in Mexico. Delicious salsas with great flavor. Fun, vibrant atmosphere. Good service . Looking forward to going back soon.

Roberto Bua

Get the pork belly tacos , amazing. Music is a bit too loud , great for a night out with friends, not so great for a date.

Gabi Metz

Great Mexican food .. good value for money and friendly service .. perfect pre Aladdin show dinner

Hms

Get the xombie cocktail and mackerel cerviche . The other dishes were soso. Food did come quick and nice atmosphere.

Roberta

Get skinny margarita ( tequila + lime + salt) daily special flavour, great set of tacos and one more skinny margarita . You will feel great!

BarChick

Don’t miss the al pastor pork or the pancita burracho from the wood-burning grill, say yesss to the tacos and wash it all down with a few hibiscus Margaritas . Read more

Beneath a lurid Soho shopfront, ablaze with neon signs screeching ‘sex shop ’, you'll find fantastic authentic Mexican food in a cool, urban atmosphere.

Mawi London

One of our favourite new restaurants in London - great authentic food and fun atmosphere . Quite hard to find but that was half of the fun of going!

Agatha

Good ambience, good music , relaxed clientele and very friendly hosts . Not impressed with the Margaritas but espresso martinis are to die for. So, grumpy waitress could be forgiven on that basis.

Roshni Bajaj

Upstairs: Salsa roja , chorizo and potato tacos , the ancho cocktail , plus tons of the El Yucateco habanero salsas . Will not forget this superhot meal.

Menu is good to get a taste at lunch . The dessert was pretty big and sweet! Service is attentive and respectful. Nice vibe.

Michaela Watkinson

Food is SO good. Free wifi . Gets busy so you might get sat with other people, but it was fine :) Tacos are a must.

Anand Panjabi

Get a late table after 9pm and you won't have to worry about a two hour time restriction. Then chill out and enjoy yourself, in spite of the honest, but slightly chaotic service...

Lizzie P

Concealed entrance - look out for the neon lights. One to tick off your list!

Jessi @2feet1world

Amazing Mexican food and cocktails . There's also a walk-in part if you can't get a restaurant booking

Camilla VLC

Best mexican food in London, great music , great cocktails , cool decor.. Try it! Especially the ceviche and sea bass ! Yum

Olya Kuznetsova

Lamb tacos are too good to be true. Check out the back door entrance to bar/club/restaurant downstairs!

Nadya Berestova

Grilled sweetcorn is amazing and seafood rice pots are lovely. So not forget about lemonade !

Kim Pham

Come on an early afternoon, curl up with your laptop and the Aztiki cocktail . Tipsy email never felt so good!

Had one of my best nights here. Playlist was hella nostalgic, food drinks and staff very pleasant.

MinistryofWaxing

Choose from a selection of Mexican favourites from tacos and toastaditas to mains such as steaks , grills and a delicious spiced chicken .

Maria Panayiotou

Excellent music and atmosphere! Totally recommend:)

Great quesadillas and super friendly staff but WHY DOES THE MUSIC NEED TO BE QUITE SO LOUD ?? Shouting at my dining partner who is less than a metre away just to be heard at barely 8pm. Oh dear...

Brynne Dickie

You have to walk through what appears to be a sex shop , but you'll find the most amazing Mexican restaurant once inside!

Energya Therapies by Paola Bassanese

Fantastic atmosphere on a Friday night, very busy so advance booking recommended. The playlist is to die for!

Timothy Stamp

Great atmosphere - busy and loud . Service was good in a laid back sort of way. The corn on the cob starter was off the hook!

Deborah Puiggali

Bodega Negra ' s bar : the nudge! Secret place . Watermelon cocktail !

Sadie Harding

The steak tacos are really spicy so make sure when you order you ask for tap water . Beans and chorizo were delicious, top notch.

Sheila Thomson

Tasty quesedilla and cocktails but the beef tacos were almost inedible and the wait, for everything, so looooong.

Donal Kane

Style (decor is great) over substance (food and service at best OK) definitely.. 15% compulsory optional service charge is a little on the cheeky side too

Andrew Cerda

Our waitress from Sainte Fe, Mexico recommended the pork or prawn tacos . The pork was delicious.

Chris R (thechristophe)

Limited, barely Mexican, menu. Quesadilla is not... Vegetarian Burrito had pickled cabbage - impossible to taste anything else, also had no beans, guacamole , cheese or sour cream - ie the basics :(

Dim Beer

Nice decoration. That’s it.
