Alexia KSeptember 21, 2014Much better Mexican chain compered to wahaca, big portions, try the burrito and the excellent guacamole they prepare on the spot
AmandaAugust 9, 2014Mexican! The tacos with sustainably fished yellow tail is really fresh and tasty. The big fried cheese dish is a bit salty but tastes good with the dip. Becomes addictive! Acapulco golden drink yum!
Sean Olson-RoyJune 13, 2014Love the little remote server call buttons. We didn't need it on our visit, but it would come in handy. I wish they had these in Paris... :). Wifi password: taco0414
If you are from the mexico city area and surroundings, this restaurant is perferct. Cheesse chicharron!!!!, tacos al pastor!!! they are the same as a well known taco chain in mexico Df GREAT!!!
Some of the best Mexican food you'll eat in London. Really reasonable prices! A must is the guacamole and tortilla chips... They make it at your table.
Ankur BanerjeeNovember 20, 2015Get the Guacamole Artesanal for nibbles / starters: freshly-made guacamole right at your table, and good to share. Might take a while for wait staff to arrange for it.
Liliana VillanuevaNovember 24, 2013Pretty authentic considering it's not even in the same continent as Mexico. Order a Michelada with your favorite Mexican beer to chase a nice shot of añejo or reposado tequila, salud!
Nacho VacaNovember 2, 2013Metro wouldn't know a Mexican if it were serving them tacos in the Zócalo of Mexico City. Very good Mexican restaurant! Try the gringas. Or the quesadillas de tinga. Or the ceviche. Or whatever else.
gRoOvEOctober 19, 2013Try the queso fundido with chorizo. I also love the Costras cheese tacos. Drink either the avocado or kiwi & coriander margarita!
Raul RamirezJuly 3, 2011Definitely a good place to try Mexican tacos! pastor, tinga, birria are really good and it is much cheaper and quicker than a normal restaurant. Definitely a must stop before going back home at night
Heena KaraniMay 24, 2015Great atmosphere & service was top notch. Only a fan of the vegetarian burrito, the guacamole & the cactus tostado were all disappointing. Churros so went down a treat but the cake was pretty bad.
ZoozFebruary 28, 2016Tasty quick Mexican meal and available in many corners in London. Shrimp tacos are good
Mike SloneFebruary 12, 2014The Gobernado Tacos are awesome! Wash down with a fresh marg. my favorite Mexican food in Europe.
Tim CNovember 9, 2013Get in early for lunch as it gets proper busy. Good for veggies, GF / coeliacs, 'real' Mexican lovers and those who partake of the Margarita.
RedaAugust 28, 2013Come here a fair bit. Brilliant food, super super slow service. Recs include gobernador tacos, tinga burritos. The guac's real good but I prefer Cantina Laredo's. Good for a quick solo bite; free wifi
JL LealJune 10, 2017Excelent mexican food, very good tacos and tomatoes sauce, good service, tequila & mexican beer like my town arriba Monterrey
Nuno JobNovember 3, 2018Food was tasty. Service was good and quick. Cleaning standard and presentation was poor. Quesadilla was done with factory tortilla. A pity a bit of pride and standards this could be an excellent place
Juan CastroMarch 20, 2015Amazing service, i am really surprised to get this good service being the restaurant so Busy, Nico and Pascual well done!- gRoOvEOctober 19, 2013Try Lupita a great combination of guacamole, refried beans, organic farmers cheese, & strips of arrachera steak topped w/ salsa pico de gallo
- gRoOvEOctober 19, 2013Frijoles RefritosRefried beans, crème fraiche, organic farmers cheese, onion, coriander & avocado.
budchawlaNovember 7, 2011Excellent no carb / slow carb options, just have the tortilla without the tortilla! The Gobernador, Pibil & Tinga are favourites. Ask for extra beans and guac!
RaquelNovember 15, 2014Best Mexican Food I've tried in London so far, Pastor Tacos and Micheladas are excellent!
Cezary WytychJanuary 22, 2013The burrito was tasty and filling, however I've been to better Mexican spots. The service helpful and on the watch. All in all worth a try - 7.5/10.
Sheila ThomsonAugust 20, 2014Delicious horchata and churros. Sadly the quesedilla were tougher and greasier than I prefer and the service was painfully slow, despite buttons with a hotline to my waitress' wrist.
Arvid SchneiderFebruary 4, 2016Very good and tasty food. It gets really busy though. I can just recommend that restaurant
Pearse KeaneAugust 8, 2014Had the Gobernadors - amazing with a squeeze of lime. A really memorable dish - made me want to order another course.
Federico OMNovember 28, 2012Ask for the gringa! It's well served and really tasty! Don't forget to try the "chicharron de queso" too!
Alexandra WoodFebruary 7, 2013Try the carnitas tacos, chicharron de queso and queso fundido with chorizo! Washed down with a proper margarita!
Sai PreetiSeptember 13, 2015Loved the Horchata drink, really good guacamole and try the cactus taco too!
Mauricio ChaconOctober 10, 2010Being from Mexico City myself, this place took me back in time when I was younger and went for dinner after a night out with my mates. This is authentic Mexico's City cuisine
Desiree RoldanMarch 3, 2015Best mexican food in London, fantastic tacos as well as guacamole and margaritas
Great two course lunch special for just £9.65 during the week.
Angela LiuFebruary 10, 2015nice mexican restaurant that opens til late. Particularly loving their tacos
DanaAugust 6, 2012Share orders of tacos with your table so you can try more. The tinga and pastor tacos are amazing.
Natasha ShalomFebruary 29, 2012The stew is surprisingly wonderful, the salsas are lovely, and the veggie quesedillas are gorgeous. My stomach is very happy.
Georgia P.October 16, 2014The tacos were very good, but if this is your main dish, it probably won't be enough. I had to order some more. The burritos on the other hand were a good portion.
2 new tacos on the menu, smoked chicken or oxtail. Both very good. Although pastor still my favourite (only time I eat pineapple!).- Alexia KApril 10, 2015Burrito and conchinita pill bill is very very good, portion of burrito Is very big
Mary McKennaApril 6, 2013They make your guacamole fresh for you at the table - nice touch - food tasty but portions are minute
Iago Fouquet SchmidtDecember 2, 2014El governador tacos are amaaaazeballs, as well as the one with chipotle sauce.
- Erin CoburnNovember 3, 2014Not cheap for the pseudo fast-food style, but try Ensalada Maya to start. Divine intro to cactus.
Alex BalfourMarch 24, 2014Takeaway Option for train travel. Beats charing cross Burger King or "delice de France" every time
Stuart MurdochFebruary 20, 2013Don't try the Huitlacoche quesadilla unless you are very daring, or like a nasty burnt bitter taste...do try the Cochinita Pibil Tacos, really tasty!

It all started 50 years ago, with El Farolito, a taquería in a little corner of the then unknown Colonia Condesa, located just west of the historic centre of Mexico City... London"s most authentic Mexican taquería. The same tastes, ingredients, flavours and smells as found in Mexico City.
