The 30 Best Mexican classics in London

“Outstanding tacos and wonderful service! Service over the phone to reschedule booking was nice and fabulous throughout the meal. The guacamole starter dressed with pomegranate was nice and the nachos were OK. The seabass and prawns are to die for. The Beef and the pork we decent too. Tres Leche cake to finish off was was nice thought the cream was a bit much.”

“My first time trying Mexican food in London, and it was the perfect way to end my trip! I had the HALAL beef birria and empanadas — absolutely delicious! The flavors were rich and satisfying. I even ordered HALAL chicken empanadas to take with me on the plane. Highly recommend for anyone looking for tasty HALAL and vegan Mexican options!”

“We initially came here to try out the cocktails which were delicious, especially the zombie passion fruit. We decided on a taco sharing platter, nachos, buttermilk chicken and bravas for four of us and was perfect, we even had some leftovers. Everything was really tasty. Great service and very efficient.”

“Booking was easy online. While I needed to make a time change which required a phone call, it was quick and easy to do. We went for the all you can eat tacos, but found so many yummy things on the menu we ordered other items instead. The Ghost Rider Marguerita was delicioso, the homemade chips and guacamole was excellent (pomegranate seeds were a nice touch), the Mexican Fattoush salad was fantastic - finally some health vegetables on my holiday! The chicken and carne asada tacos were small yet superb. We could have ordred another plate, if we wanted, but opted for desert instead. The Empinada for me with chantilly creame was a perfect end. My wife apprciates ambiance, which Madera has even without the 15th floor view. Though of course, having the best meal on our holiday, while watching the sunset over London was a perfect end to our day. Last, but not least Sabuj took attentive care of us all throughout our experience. We are already planning on returning soon.”

“Excellent food, so glad we finally found a Mexican restaurant in the area! Will definitely order from here again and again and again. Chicken quesadillas and chicken tacos were great and we can't wait to try something else. Tortilla chips are also really good quality.”

“Good food, always ate bowl here but tried tacos and loved it. Gauc is very fresh and tasty. Staff is very polite. Great service.”

“Mexican food here is amazing, always fresh and quick!! Check out Jerk beef short ribs”

“Been in London for 24 years and tried Brazilian food from different companies but sabor & cia did the most amazing Brazilian snacks and sweeties.. very traditional and delicious! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”

“A burger that melts in your mouth, lovely seasoned chips and a brownie I just cant stop thinking about!!!!! Perfect after getting off the train after a long day. I can't wait to come again! Are two brownies in one day frowned upon???”

“I am lost for words how amazing this place is - wow!! Everything is delicious but please get the pork. It is soft and sweet and it melts in your mouth. Absolutely divine flavours, and most importantly, the owner is so lovely, even gave me extra for free. I'm a new regular convert now!! How lucky we are to have a gem here in Winchmore Hill”

“Very good experience with the staff, they are polite and cool, taste of pizza is delicious and I got it within time. Atmosphere in the store is friendly. Must experience this. Cool.....”

“I really enjoyed my meal at this place. The owner was also our server and he was lovely. The appetisers, mains, desserts, and drinks were great. Highly recommend it. Also it's dog friendly, so it's a great place to support of you are a doggy owner who's looking for a place to have dinner without leaving the pup at home.”

“Went here for dinner on a Friday night. It gets busy so if you can make a reservation! Food was delicious, we had 2 starters and 2 types of tacos with non-alcoolice drinks and the bill came up to ~£50. Staff was friendly and I'd happily go back again!”

“Most amazing tacos I’ve tried! Meat is well cooked and still very tender, unbelievably flavoursome and the staff are so lovely. Will be returning often. Highly recommend!”

“Heard about this place and it’s reputation for being one of London’s hottest new eat spots. Went for lunch to try it out and was amazed. Bacon and egg tacos with a Mexican twist! Simple street food but way elevated above your average. Head now before they move to a bigger restaurant!”

“Pleasantly surprised by the food, great taste, quality at a very reasonable price. It is more of a fast food place than a sit in restaurant, take away drivers walking too and fro. Perfect for spending my expenses.”

“As a former resident of Austin TX, I know a thing or two about tacos, and this place is legit! Eating here was a soulful experience. Gracias amigos!”

“Thank you so much for the warm welcome! Everything was really delicious — especially the chicken. We truly enjoyed the meal and the friendly atmosphere. Can’t wait to come back!”

“I had dinner with a friend at the restaurant and then drinks at their speakeasy, Cinco. Loved the atmosphere, the service was EXCELLENT- both at the restaurant and at the speakeasy. The mushroom tacos were amazing - and the margarita cocktails were also very tasty. Can’t wait to go again.”

“AMAZING birria tacos! Have already been back 2 more times. Great food. Only drawback, the birria taco combo does travel well if you get a takeaway. After the 20mins journey home the tacos were soggy & the other ones were hard. The atmosphere was not bad. There just wasn't any. Outdoor seating in a shared space.”

“Used to love frequenting Tortilla, haven’t been in a while. Delighted to learn it’s still delicious and filling food. Nicer burritos than at restaurants that specialise in them. Service by Urvi was really great, fast and pleasant. Impressed by the dining in options of Hammersmith too. Lots of nice space.”

“The best burrito place in the south east in my opinion. Not a bad word can be said apart from the option to have 2 sauces with your meal as 1 isn't enough, well isn't enough for me anyway. Service was good and the loyalty card is an added bonus which will be filled extremely soon by my children and I.”

“Araceli’s is a gem in Woking - delicious burritos and great portions. I’ve never had a bad meal here. Just tried the naked burrito recently and it was delicious as well. I always get the pork which is so flavourful. They also have delicious margaritas”

“Wow wow wow! The most perfect girls night for my friends 30th birthday celebration. Where do I start…please please please try the prawn tempura, chicken wings and cheese quesadillas! The wings were huge and succulent, prawns were chunky and flavoursome and cheeesy. The starters are big enough to share with friends and have a good amount. I had the chicken quesadilla for my main, chips and Salsa verde! I would recommend the combo! The pomegranate on top was the perfect touch, chicken was succulent and salsa was fruit and fresh. Churros for dessert was finger looking good. As if the food wasn’t enough, the service was too notch. From the moment we walked in Benedicto tended to our every need, each and every time. He was attentive, welcoming, detailed, creative and helpful. He really contributed to the perfect 30th and girls night! Imogen has the patience of a saint! We didn’t know what to get, what foods to to pair together and she took the time to make recommendations and suggestions for us. Helped with the cake fiasco and all our take away bags. On a scale of 1-10 for recommendations, it’s a 10 all round!!!”

“Visited for a Friday lunch with a colleague, first time for both of us it being my treat. My step son visits here regularly on his weekly office day at work. Plenty of seating, clear menu choices lead to our decision as below: Toasted Burrito White Rice Black Beans Pulled Pork Cheese Sour cream Lettuce Tomato salsa Red chilli sauce Regular classic bowl Black rice Pinto beans Zam Chicken Cheese Lettuce Tomato Salsa Sweetcorn Salsa Red Onion & Coriander Salsa Guacamole Verde Sauce Lime Juice A very enjoyable meal shared in good company. Plate4Plate charitable scheme counter on the wall is a nice touch alongside the ecological cutlery & packaging. We both loved our lunches and look forward to revisiting and trying other varieties.”
