The 30 Best Mexican restaurant in London

“Great service, polite owner and staff, very welcoming, communicate well, recommend dishes, excellent tasty food, portion size were well money spent.”

“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.”

“Great place for a meal. I had a dinner there and loved it. Staff very friendly and food so tasty. I was very surprised with food quality and with service. I recommend this place and I will return for sure”

“Chipotle Mexican Grill is my lifesaver when I’m too tired and coming home late from work. It’s the best dinner option I could ask for. The most important thing is that everything is always fresh – from the greens to every piece of cheese, chicken, avocado, and the sauces. I want to give special thanks to Hinal, the lovely girl from India who always greets me with a smile, is super helpful, and helps me choose the perfect option. Although I don’t know everyone by name, I always end up being served by the same amazing team – she and a friendly guy from Poland. They make the experience special every single time. I feel like I’m visiting family when I come here. Everyone is so welcoming and kind that it truly makes you want to come back. Huge portions, fresh ingredients, and the warm atmosphere – what more could you ask for? Thank you for always making my evenings better! You’re doing an amazing job!”

“Loved it here! Our waiter was lovely and took his time to explain his favourites on the menu and chat to us. We got 2 for 1 frozen Margaritas (can’t complain) and the food was tasty and I didn’t think it was overpriced as you got a decent amount of everything. I will be coming back to try more of the menu.”

“The best restaurant for miles around. I love this place. The staff are wonderful, the food is outstanding. Its also very reasonable. The best.”

“We went around 7:15 PM for dinner, it was quite at the time, mostly empty. More people joined afterwards but was not overly crowded being a Wednesday night. Service was prompt and food was excellent. We are vegetarian so ordered only vegetarian food and both the items from mains were good. We also ordered two deserts and they were good too. It had calm vibes of small town Mexican dinner.”

“I know Chipotle really well bc I used to go 3 times a week at certain points and have been eating there (in the states) since 2003. Despite going to this location only once, I had a great experience probably the best I’ve had in the UK. Chicken was nicely charred and had really good smoky flavour. Salsas, brown rice and guacamole were so delicious. I will definitely try to go back.”

“The food from this restaurant left me speechless! It was delicious, the portions are very generous and you can notice that the ingredients are of very high quality. I ordered quite a few times now and I surely will continue to do so! This guys put so much love, passion and effort on what they do, I have no doubt they’ll become popular sooner than later.”

“We came here after an event and honestly it was amazing food and great service! The staff were so attentive to our needs and gave recommendations for the best totems on the menu. P.S. try out the Guava or Mango Jarritos drink, it’s really good!”

“Shared nachos and a sharing selection. Absolutely amazing. The pible was so flavourful, the chicken taco was out of this world and the peach and orange mocktail was so refreshing. The staff are friendly and welcoming, the atmosphere was great from table near the bar, ( no criticism, I was very thankful to be seated away from the main area with lots of people.) From the outside it was so quiet but as you opened the door it was full of people happily eating. Not a drinker but a great selection of tequila and the cocktails looked amazing. Took our churros home as we were comfortably full, ate them later and they were still perfectly crisp on the outside with a nice chewy center. The dark chocolate and chilli dip was lovely, not overly hot but enough to add depth of flavour to the sauce.will definitely return with family”

“Amazing service, staff couldn’t do enough made our visit very special, delicious food all cooked fresh and piping hot. Would definitely recommend and will be back soon. Thank you”

“​We visited Mestizo for dinner with a friend on a Monday evening, and it turned out to be one of the best, most authentic Mexican meals we've had in London. ​What really stands out is the menu. This isn't just your standard burrito and taco joint. Mestizo offers a fantastic variety of great, traditional dishes that I haven't been able to find in other places. To go with the food, they also have local soft drinks from Mexico. I tried one that was like a cola but with a unique, different taste—a great touch. ​We visited at the end of October, and the atmosphere really highlighted their respect for tradition. The restaurant was decorated for Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead), which added to the authentic, cultural feel of the evening. ​As a fun bonus, it just so happened that on Monday, they were running a 50% discount on everything starting with "M"! This wasn't why we went, but it was a pleasant surprise. ​We can highly recommend Mestizo. If you're looking for true Mexican food in London, this is one of the very few places that gets it right. PS: thanks Paola for great service and all the help”

“The corn tacos were absolutely delicious , crisp packed with flavor and super fresh ingredients. The quesadillas were cheesy and perfectly cooked. Everything tasted authentic and made with care. The staff was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Definitely one of the best spots for Mexican food in the area. We’ll be coming back for sure!”

“I've been working at a university close to DD for ten years, so I've been coming here for delicious burritos for ten years. Considering the competition on Leather Lane, I can confidently say I'm never tempted to go anywhere else apart from Daddy Donkey. The food is consistently tasty and always fills me up. Keep it up, lads!"”

“Fast service and great food. The seating area was very clean, and the atmosphere in the shop was excellent.”

“So on "Dia de Muertos" and having been made up as calaveras for the Columbia Road Day of the Dead festival.nearby, where else to head but a Mexican restaurant? Google directed us to nearby Santo Remedio, which turned out to be a good choice.The manager welcomed us warmly and managed to fit in our party of three in between bookings. Our friendly waitress Olivia was great too, explaining how the veggie dishes could be adapted to be vegan with vegan cheese substitutes so everyone in our group was able to enjoy the food. The food itself was very flavourful. We chose butternut squash tacos, hibiscus and cactus quesadillas, and black bean side (hold the cheese for vegan version), and the lovely refreshing hibiscus agua fresca drink. The place has a fun friendly vibe, just right for a Saturday night evening with friends.”

“Very pleasant evening. Well looked after. The paella was especially good. Some starters were a bit oily. Definitely revisiting soon.”

“Amazing food amazing stuff love it. Best food around Holloway. I just tried one of the best pizzas I have ever had in my life, it was that nice that I had to order a second pizza thanks chef.”

“Had such an amazing night tonight. When the guys said were make it a good night they did exactly that. Great food highly recommended this place xx”

“The food is really food and the person who is serving is really nice and friendly. Everyone Please visit once to experience good mexican food”

“Came here for lunch for the first time. Ordered their lunchtime deal, 2 tacos, a side and drink for £12. (I think.) Food was lovely. The staff were fantastic. Sooo friendly, polite and welcoming. We got there just before they were closing and a couple of people came in just after they shut down for a while. The staff apologised but then agreed to serve them, which was so kind. Loved the decor of the place too. Definitely recommend and will be back to try more food soon!”

“I'm not one for spicy food so would not normally go to a Mexican but heard they do rack of ribs so decided to pop on early on a Friday. The Lady who greeted and served us was very friendly and professional, nothing too much trouble. The food was very good and the ribs best I have had in ages, would highly recommend them. The early evening was quiet but I see they have singers later on Friday and Saturday. As we left the owner said good bye and asked if everything was OK, which was nice. Would go again”

“Incredible food, outstanding drinks and such a great atmosphere. Could stay here for hours. Thank you Amiga team, I’ll definitely be back.”

“Awesome styling and very nice staff. The dishes were almost all super interesting and original. Lots of unusual ingredients. The non alcoholic drinks were quite expensive for what they were. Also the wagyu upgrade didn’t feel worth it for the price. You’ll be perfectly fine without and and you won’t miss the best dish. Transitioning to the bar was very well handled and overall KOL was very fun, stylish, interesting and tasty. I had such a great time and recommend it whole heartedly!”

“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.”

“This place had some insane flavour. Since it was Tuesday, a single taco was only 3.25, so I got the beef birria. FANTASTIC choice, it was so delicious I’ve been raving about it all day.”

“Had such a lovely experience at los mochis, great service from Anastasia, the food was incredible (especially the asado chicken tacos and poke tuna tostaditos!!) and the margaritas were great. Would definitely go again!”

“We were there last night after seeing wicked. We ate the bbq wings and they were delicious! The prices were really good and we both ate a lot. The staff was really nice and also gave us a box to take home what we didn’t finish. We’ll be back ❤️”

“Excellent service from Maria (my previous review has gone so apologies if her name is not Maria) she was attentive without being over burdening, we had many tasty cocktails and shooters. We had visited as an off the cuff birthday, mainly for the cocktails tbh. The food was nice, the drinks great, the atmosphere amazing, the service excellent. Even when the birthday cake came out, which I hadn't expected. As an impromptu evening it was great and I look forward to returning with a larger group.”
