- Z BasurtoJune 30, 2012Best 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.
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 WealSeptember 20, 2013Amazing, 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 @2feet1worldSeptember 15, 2014Tasty Mexican with some great house specialities - the steak salad is spicy and HUGE! Delicious margaritas and a great cocktail list.

Gianni PabloJuly 12, 2015Nachos and margarita! Also should try fajita and Pacifico beer, it is a destination that every time I come london I always eat in.
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 SmithSeptember 10, 2013Always 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.- 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 BoydFebruary 1, 2012Good 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 HalsteadSeptember 14, 2012Good 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.
Evelyn BlancoJanuary 4, 2013Nothing 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!!
Charlotte LMarch 30, 2015Smoked 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!
MaríaDecember 9, 2017Good alternative to the well-known chains: this place offers decent and unpretentious food.
Righi Travel Like a LocalSeptember 4, 2013Nice 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 SaDecember 28, 2017The tempura sea bass and king prawn tacos were delicious. They were very busy but food came out quite quick.
Franz VitulliJanuary 30, 2016The pulled pork tacos were really good. Service seemed good and reliable to me, also careful to allergy requirements.
Cyndie Da RochaSeptember 2, 2017It 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.
ColetteOctober 12, 2014Good tex mex food! So great you can get 20% off with a foursquare check even during peak times. Will return fo' sure.
Great food, nice staff and surprisingly quiet on Sunday afternoon for a quick dinner.
Carl MillarOctober 5, 2014Food and service are great, a busy restaurant so make sure you book a table.
Great Mexican food, goid portions. Fish is lovely. Great cocktails.
Mihnea MiculescuAugust 13, 2017The classic margaritas are great! The food is ok too, try the fajitas.
Matthew BNovember 22, 2012Awesome chimichanga. Probably the best Mexican food I've ever had and extremely generous portions.
Aris VrakasJune 14, 2010Have 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 HollowayOctober 9, 2013Authentic Mexican food. The home made salsa is amazing. Good prices too.
Dilay KibarJanuary 1, 2014Chimicimanga, very good. Fahita beef, perfect. Pacifico margarita very good
Wojtek SiudzinskiAugust 8, 2015Closest thing to the original Mexican taste on this side of the Atlantic
Matthew Craig-GreeneNovember 23, 2013Just order drinks at the bar - they will have to bring you free food so as not to contravene UK liquor license laws
BarChickNovember 10, 2011Sip on the delicious and delicate Olmeca Altos reposado, or have it in their awesome margarita!
- Javier DeoradorFebruary 24, 2015Cena de Global Premium, Fantastic Cocktails with Capucana and Ysabell Regina!
Has to be Fajitas all the way, super portion size and great taste
James SmithAugust 17, 2014Street tacos were ok, tacos themselves weren't as soft as they should be. Good chips & salsa and margaritas. Service was a little slow
Sophia VOctober 2, 2016A lively place but could do better with food and margueritas. Try el nivel instead- Fabien ButazziNovember 23, 2014This place is OK. If they keep their lunch deal it may be worth another visit but I'm really unimpressed. Service is average too.
Sam MAugust 13, 2014Uninspiring food, lacking flavour and freshness - two things I expect in abundance from Mexican cuisine when done properly.
Always get some tequila with any food....things are jus better that way- Tiago SaOctober 16, 2016The only problem with this restaurant is the noise! You'll need to shout to be hear unfortunately
Wai-Mon LieAugust 18, 2010Always big queues here so get here bit early or put your name down, have few tequilas at the bar while you wait.
