Alexandra WoodFebruary 7, 2013Literally the best Mexican food you will find in London! Go for carnitas tacos, chicharron de queso & queso fundido with chorizo. Try and have a chat with the head chef Marco - he's fantastic!
RobertAugust 10, 2014one thing: CHILES TOREADOS! superbly flavored and spicy, but perfectly eatable. must have! Tacos Gobernador are also excellent.
Miguel SanchezApril 28, 2014As good as Wahaca used to be before it became a chain. Lupitas signature guacamole is freshly made at your table and tastes delicious.
Roberto EstabaJanuary 21, 2014Try the tacos campechanos and the tostada de atún Mazatlán. The micheladas and margaritas are great too. All very authentic
Desiree RoldanJuly 7, 2016Their new technology is pretty good, you can order and pay with your mobile
Nick GreenJanuary 21, 2014Best Mexican meal I'd ever had. The Gringa is delicious. Followed by free churros for checking in on Foursquare!
Bárbara FrancoNovember 23, 2014Amazing Mexican food :) I've just eat the "pastor" and it was awesome!
Eddie SharkeyNovember 17, 2014Great Mexican food. Good service and friendly staff. Will definitely go back.
Jln NthOctober 19, 2014Excellent traditional mexican food. Nice vibe and service. A tiny bit pricy tho.
Scott SullivanAugust 10, 2015Food was good and tasty. Just wished it was TexMex sized and not Tapas bites.
Steve CleverleyMarch 7, 2013Fantastic food and excellent service! Well worth a visit if you are in East London.
Charlotte LDecember 2, 2014A bit on the pricy side for small portions. Mexican hot chocolate is tasty, very slow service at lunchtime though. I'd review the food but I think it might never arrive.
André C SamuelJune 1, 2015Food is great, but portions are small (all except the Enchiladas). So be prepared !
- Lauren KeithDecember 9, 2017Every time I come here, I really want to like this place, but it's just average and overpriced. £10 for guacamole just because it's made at your table? Mezcal margaritas are a slight redeeming factor.
Heather RodriguezMarch 29, 2013Too clean and artisan to be good. It's better than most Mexican here though. Portions are small.
Kurt HaaFebruary 14, 2016Cheap Mexican place. The tacos & burritos are tasteless and the margaritas taste like detergent.
ThanhDecember 14, 2015Pastor tacos tasteless and burnt. Arroz a la mexicana is just rice. Overpriced and boring. Cactus is bland pickles.
Charlotte MoulsonFebruary 10, 2016So bad. Kebab shop standard food for 10x the price. Don't come here.
Eduardo MigntSeptember 13, 2014Mexican restaurant ? Really. Food is not great and didnt taste like mexican. Would not recommend. Should better go to something regular but safe like wahaca
Fatima MariscalDecember 27, 2014Si eres de México y vives en Londres o vienes a Londres por vacaciones y extrañas los tacos, este es un buen lugar para no extrañarlos tanto. Es lo más cercano a comida mexicana en el extranjero. 😂
Xi Rangel ArceMay 14, 2013Excelente servicio!! Pedido para llevar listo rápidamente y muy bien empacado
Tam PNovember 19, 2016Gran decepcion la yltima vez que vinimos: comida escasa, insulsa y cara. Carnitas secas, taquitos y quesadillas pasables. Lo unico que merecio la pena el mezcal

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.
