    Lots of vegetarian options, just ask for the veg menu. Fresh guacamole is seriously good as is the mexican brownie- best I've ever tasted. Personally the other dishes aren't as tasty as wahaca.

    One the best meals I've had during my visit to London. We ordered the veg casadillas, crispy chicken taco, chicken faijita, guacamole and churros for dessert. Everything was delicious!

    Trendy Mexican place in the centre of Covent Garden. Great for big groups, lots of sharing dishes with a huge choice of Margeritas & tequilas. They also have some menu deals. Friendly service.

    Had the beef quesadillas & chicken fajitas, both were excellent. The decor seems perhaps a bit too contemporary for a 'Cantina', but it's a great dinner place before heading to the Royal Opera House!

    Great Mexican food - amazing guacamole made fresh at your table, yummy empanadas and amazing chicken with prawns in 16 slice sauce!! I'm sure tamales will be good - next time!!

    Avoid the tequila cheesecake if you are thinking of trying it. Other than that the food and service was really good. I recommend the ribs, pork taquerias and chicken flautsas

    Great place next to Jamie Oliver crowded restaurant. The guacamole and the brownie are delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked. Good wine, good margaritas, good service. Strongly recommended.

    The Mole Poblano is one of the most interesting and different dishes I've ever had in a Mexican restaurant. Goes great with 'em papas.

    Posher Mexican place than Wahaca and Lupita. Food is quite good but in the style of main course per person rather than sharing portions like the other two places. Also, more exy as in convent garden.

    Guacamole was great. Rib Eye Tacos where great. The salsa was not very authentic or spicy. I do spend a lot of time in Mexico so maybe I'm a tough critic.

    Fresh guacamole with nacho chips and chicken fajita were perfect and the brownie was good.

    Most everything is à la carte which can get a bit pricey. Definitely go for the Mexican brownie, assembled table side, and let it sit for about 30 seconds before diving in.

    Good and decently priced Mexican, nothing spectacular here and they definitely need to be a bit more liberal with the chilli but everything was very tasty and we left satisfied.

    CL plates tastiness like table-made guac & grilled steak topped w/ bacon-wrapped tiger prawns which're stuffed w/ oaxaca cheese & jalapeños. Stop in for one of their monthly tequila pairing dinners. Read more

    One GREAT vegetarian option in London, and not an Indian restaurant! Amazing, ask for the vegetarian menu and have fun

    The Herradura Tequila Dinner was quite amazing. Staggeringly good food. Exciting margaritas (1 of which belongs on the menu) & flawless service, not to mention incredible value. Love this restaurant.

    Cheap cocktails but they were low on alcohol and inconsistent. Order 3 dark and stormy and they'll come out different each time. Food was good though.

    Disappointing experience, enchiladas were cold as was the spinach side. Guacamole was ok, but needed more salt. Restaurant lacking atmosphere, bodega negra a far better experience

    We ordered the fajitas which surprising came without black beans. If someone wants good Mexican food I would not recommend this as a " True Mexican place "
