review of London Mexican restaurant Taqueria by Andy Hayler in ...

Tacos de fideos (£5.50) with a filling including chorizo, spicy tomato sauce, crumbly cheese, coriander and onion had a good quality filling, but I wasn’t convinced by the texture of the tacos.

I preferred cochinita pibil (£6.50), slow cooked pork that had been marinated in citrus juice and achiote (also called annatto, seeds that have a peppery taste made into a paste), served with Scotch bonnet chilli and pickled pink onions on a trio of soft tacos.

The tacos texture was good, the pork had enjoyable flavour, the onions adding a hint of sweetness (13/20).

Much livelier was tinga tacos, shredded chicken, onion, tomato and spicy chilli chipotle with a little avocado (12/20).

Huevas rancheros consisted of a pair of fried eggs on griddled tortillas, with a spicy onion, tomato and green chilli sauce that was surprisingly lacking in spice (11/20).

El Pastór, London Bridge: restaurant review | Foodism

If fajita Fridays with friends is your jam, then El Pastor should be right at the top of your list of places to visit next.

Don't miss the Negroni El Pastor, where Italy meets Mexico in a smoky and refreshingly bitter concoction of mezcal, Casa Mariol vermouth and Campari.

Two tacos per portion means you can order almost the entire menu and divide the offerings up between the table.

Start with a spicy soap de tortilla (admittedly, cutlery might be needed to really enjoy this: it's a Mexican tomato soup, which is served with crunchy totopos chips and chunks of fresh avocado mixed with creamy queso fresco cheese).

Even if you're not in the mood for sampling the whole menu, don't sidestep the house special: the Al Pastór – melty pork shoulder that's been marinated for 24 hours and tossed up with caramelised pineapple on nutty blue Mexican nativo corn tortillas.

Restaurant review: Breddos Taqueria, Clerkenwell | Foodism

Review analysis
food   menu   drinks  

In a cuisine filled with pretenders, Breddos Tacos' founders Nud Dudhia and Chris Whitney are exponents of genuinely authentic Mexican food.

The pair's new taqueria builds on the taco menu you might have tried at Street Feast's markets and festivals, with a new menu of dishes from a wood-fired grill and some seriously rare mezcals, too.

Oh god, tacos.

We loved how well-measured the flourishes on the menu were – clam and sea urchin aguachile (a kind of Mexican ceviche) tostada was full of punchy shellfish flavours without being unapproachable – but it's called a taqueria for a reason.

Get three each, then get more: alongside our favourites (Baja fish with pico de gallo and cabbage, and masa fried chicken with fiery habanero mayo, in case you were wondering) we tried short rib and pig's head tacos with a depth of flavour uncommon in slow-cooked taco fillings, and boiled egg with macadamia nut mole.

Restaurant review: Taqueria, London W11 - Telegraph

Review analysis

The explanation has nothing to do with sharing Mr Clarkson's belief that Mexican food is "refried sick" (or as James May amended, in a masterful instance of damage limitation, "refried sick with cheese").

Specialising in what aficionados insist is highly authentic Mexican street food, this is more a café than an elegant restaurant.

She came to lunch as a pronounced Mexican food sceptic.

She left a convert after "gorgeous" gringa (pork and melted cheese sandwiched between corn tortillas), and "even more gorgeous" enchilada rojas (cannelloni-style cylinders filled with chicken, tomato sauce, green chilli, onion and crumbly cheese).

A chorizo quesadilla (a flour tortilla) packed with refried beans, avocado, pink pickled onions, chilli salsa and yet more melted cheese had her reprising Meg Ryan's fake orgasm from When Harry Met Sally.
