El Pastor

Had a banging meal here tonight at El Pastor! Didn’t feel like we were in London 🇲🇽… drinks / food were great. Service was excellent- special shout out to Monika! Would defo return & recommend. Our favourite dishes were la gringa quesadilla, the guacamole / 5 salsas!! Get the diabloto margarita/ the spiced mango frozen marg 🍸 to wash it down

Great Mexican place. Unlimited corn chips to have with your assorted salsas. We had a Very good sea bass with awesome accompaniments. The crab and vegan tostadas were also worth a look. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and the food came out fairly quick, hot and fresh. There were also 4/5 vegan options too.

Food was amazing. We had chips with salsa and guacamole. I had the Al Pastor tacos and my husband had octopus and pork belly. We tried a few drinks. House frozen margarita, hibiscus and honey dew margarita, spice, margarita, and the Paloma. Everything was great! My tacos were one of my favorite ever.

Simply the best Mexican food I've had in London. Simple but exceptional. The staff were really knowledgeable and helpful. The only minor drawback is that the tables and high chairs are a bit small, but that's to be expected when the restaurant is in some kind of railway arch. I'll definitely be back.

Debating where to go on a Wednesday evening, El Pastor was the obvious choice, if only, at first, as a travel distance compromise. We did not regret it, it has been, so far, the best Mexican food we had in London. The area is quite busy even during weekday evenings and we had to wait at the bar for about 10 minutes, to get a table. The staff were very helpful and attentive, despite the all-round crowdedness. While our choices for drinks lacked imagination (a beer and a Margarita - the cocktail was strong and sour, just how it's supposed to be, not the usual sweet and diluted London version), we had three different tacos, a quesadilla and a couple of small plates to eat, each one better than the other, with our preferences going for the Pastor and Shrimp Tacos. As there was a constant queue waiting to be seated, we make quick work of our food and skedaddled. Will definitely be back and spread the word though!

Casual Mexican fare. The tacos are fresh and light! We had the butternut squash vegan tacos. The chips and dips are good. The dips come with varying degrees of heat :) the only let down was the postre. Corn cake was too sweet and too dense for my liking. Hope to visit again and try some of their other stuff :) Good amount of vegetarian options available.
