Harden's says
A first sibling branch for the Notting Hill original.
Harden's survey result
Summary
This Notting Hill taco stalwart “really feels like Mexico”. Having operated from a stall on Portobello Road before opening on Westbourne Grove 20 years ago, it is one of London’s longest-running taco specialists, and now has an offshoot in Exmouth Market. It’s “great value”, too, and the imported Mexican beers, mescals and tequilas go down a treat (“it’s a good choice for lunch, especially if you have nothing else planned that day!”)
Summary
“Really tasty Mexican food in a fairly spartan setting” established this Notting Hill venue as one of London’s original taco specialists, and 20 years on it remains on some accounts “possibly the best”. Now with an offshoot in Exmouth Market, it continues to serve “excellent mojitos” which makes it “a good choice for lunch… if one has nothing else planned for the afternoon”.
Summary
With its “shortish menu of delicious small plates of tacos, fajitas and quesadillas” plus “lots of tequila and five flavours of margarita cocktails”, this Notting Hill original and its Exmouth Market spin-off serve “some of the best Mexican food in London” – both “authentic” and “good value”. A veteran of the capital’s taco scene, it started out with a stall in Portobello Road before moving into permanent premises 18 years ago.
