Isabel restaurant review: a feast for the eyes | The Week Portfolio

The décor is a seductive mix of chinoiserie and Art Deco, rich golds and dark Macassar ebony, all lit by 300 brass lamps that hang over the central square bar.

Settled down with perfectly crafted cocktails, we are talked through the menu, also designed by Santa Cruz and based on sharing plates – think tapas, only more refined.

He comes up with a beautifully crisp Wild Boy Santa Barbara County Chardonnay, which finally overcomes my dislike of this grape (born, it must be said, from drinking nothing else in the early Noughties).

While happily agreeing to share vegetables for our main course – although there was some fighting over the crisp potato rostï – there was no way my meltingly wonderful braised beef short rib with its rich, lick-the-plate-clean red sauce was going anywhere else.

Isabel was named after Santa Cruz’s grandmother – are Britain’s great and good dining on her recipes?

Review: Tacos El Pastor | Londonist

Yes, Wahaca did a great job of introducing the UK to flavours beyond Tex-Mex but it’s about time we started seeing proper, nixtamilised corn tortillas, achiote stained meat, and salsas infused with the smoke and depth of dried chillies.

It was always going to be good, coming from the Hart brothers, who opened the peerless Barrafina, bringing excellent tapas to London while simultaneously introducing us to a whole new way of eating dinner (queueing for it while getting tipsy, eating croquetas then sitting at a bar watching chefs cook flawless, expensive food).

At Tacos El Pastor they come in both blue and yellow varieties, filled with the true flavours of Mexico.

There’s just so much to love about Tacos El Pastor – the food straight from the streets of Mexico that gets you so messy and full and grinning like an idiot.

What we love is how they’ve gone all out, devoting a whole mezzanine level to grinding corn and making tortillas, and hiring chefs from ‘Mexico’s best taco restaurant’ to make sure the food tastes right; it’s the kind of attention to detail we expect from these restaurateurs and they haven’t let us down.

Peyote, London W1, restaurant review - Telegraph

The guacamole was excellent, the salsas were all a bit thin (there were four, from mild to hot, but none really did it for me) and the nachos were underseasoned.

Taken with tacos (£9, filled with spicy shredded pork that I thought five per cent too dry but M thought was supposed to be like that), an ungenerous person might say these dishes were merging into one, and if it weren't for its exotic provenance, it would be like going to Mayfair for a finger-sandwich buffet.

I can't deny it's fun, maybe a bit Mayfair and airless (Mayfairless, I call it), but there was good sport in its eating.

This colourful café does all the street-food classics, but its main dishes, especially the hearty Mexican stews (made with beef, chicken and bacon, £10.95), are especially good.

Pork fans should order it shredded with chipotle sauce and fruity salsa (£12) Expect big bowls of chilli, sizzling platters of tiger prawns for fajitas, and larger specialities from the grill at this buzzy restaurant.

Santo Remedio, London: restaurant review | Jay Rayner | Life and ...

Meal for two, including drinks and service: £60 All too often in the food world, the war of expertise becomes a lumbering battle between the Real Thing and the Good Stuff.

After a meal at Santo Remedio in London’s Shoreditch, full of lightness and brightness, colour, punch and enthusiasm, I am willing to acknowledge that the same applies to Mexican food – that right and good are the same.

The tangled meat in their pork tacos, dainty things the size of coffee-table coasters, have been simmered in orange juice and Coke before being shredded and piled with salsa verde.

Mole, as explained to me by the American Mexican food expert Rick Bayless, is an extraordinary thing: part sauce, part condiment, a testament to the controlled burning of multiple ingredients to produce a flavour which is both many things and only itself.

This year it was held at Ceviche Old Street, which is both not far from Santo Remedio, and also offers up a modern take on the food of another part of Latin America, in this case Peru.

El Pastór, London: restaurant review | Life and style | The Guardian

If you think the food of Mexico is all mushy avocados and soft tortillas, this Borough taqueria will prove you wrong El Pastor, 6a Stoney Street, London SE1 9AA.

These days Borough Market, on its northwestern edge, smells of chorizo and piquillo peppers, of dry-aged beef burgers ground down from pampered animals that had first names.

They’re not allowed to say it’s in Borough Market, because it’s on the other side of Stoney Street, but if you lobbed a rare-breed pork chop from under the market’s canopy you could easily get it through the entrance to their renovated railway arch.

The first big draw to Borough Market in the 1990s was the chorizo and piquillo pepper roll, knocked out by the hundred every Saturday by Spanish food importers Brindisa.

The company has done more than any other to improve Spanish food in Britain; its first restaurant, which opened on the corner of the market in 2004, has continued that work.
