Heena KaraniJanuary 3, 2015Lots 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.
Nour MardamJuly 3, 2016One 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!
Emily-janeMay 2, 2019Trendy 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.
Sophie AltafFebruary 25, 2014Great 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!!
Mickey ZeeJanuary 8, 2014Had 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!
FranckDecember 2, 2012Great 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.
KellyJanuary 2, 2014Most 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.
AmandaAugust 9, 2014Posher 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.
Vikash PatelDecember 3, 2013Avoid 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
NaifSeptember 9, 2017Fresh guacamole with nacho chips and chicken fajita were perfect and the brownie was good.
Sam MMarch 4, 2015Good 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.
Николай ГрекMarch 21, 2014The Mole Poblano is one of the most interesting and different dishes I've ever had in a Mexican restaurant. Goes great with 'em papas.
Matt BeuclerMay 8, 2016Guacamole 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.
Valentina CiolinoJune 17, 2018Nice place for a date: very central, lots of sharing options, spicy food and relaxed ambient
HasletSeptember 19, 2015Masanızda taZe olarak hazırlanan Guacamole ve frozen strawberry margaritaları şahane👌🏻 on of the best mexican in London👍🏻
Luis TelesDecember 3, 2013One GREAT vegetarian option in London, and not an Indian restaurant! Amazing, ask for the vegetarian menu and have fun
Hector KalebFebruary 5, 2014First Mexican Restaurant in London to be worth a visit! Get some "Carne Asada" along with "Frijoles Refritos" and have a good evening ^_^
ManishJune 30, 2015The tortilla chips are freshly made. Excellent veggie starters. There is a good choice
Cathy CJune 11, 20152 for 1 on Margaritas from 5pm but beware, they're strong!! Don't know wha the fuss is about the guacamole but the brownie is a must
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.
Georgina OldenSeptember 4, 2013Loved the Mango Margaritas and Fresh Guacamole made at the table...food and Mexican Brownie were delicious too
Anna B SextonNovember 9, 2013Superbly fresh food, brilliant service & atmosphere... totally recommended
Abi SilvesterAugust 12, 2016Some of the best guacamole I've had in London. Made fresh by your table.
Try the watermelon margarita, you won't be disappointed. Tamales are really good as well.
Yogi MistryMarch 10, 2013Great food the portions are deceiving. Great feeds, staff really looked after us and the kids!
Francesco PignattiOctober 16, 2010Best guacamole I've ever had in my life...and I lived with Mexicans at Uni! They prepare it with fresh ingredients in front of you at the table!
- Joanna P.April 21, 2013Fresh guacamole is amazing! Try the cinnamon ice cream at the end, delicious!!!!
Jc TrabolsiSeptember 18, 2011Coming from a Mexican the carnitas and enchiladas Veracruz were delicious! Not to mention the brownie!
Alex OberbergDecember 31, 2010We ended up that place as didnt wanna queue 2hrs at Jamie's, next door. Great food & service. Stuffed chicken breast with tiger prawns yum!
Juni Bull WintherApril 23, 2013Try the starter platter to share, it's amazing. So is the margaritas!
EDRSeptember 19, 2015Mexican restaurant with nice service. Food is just OK, try their guacamole though it is quite good.
Kavin AbelakDecember 18, 2014Cheap 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.
Rebecca PalmerJanuary 2, 2015Disappointing 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
