Kol

Michelin-starred Mexican

Kol has quickly earned a name for itself since its 2020 opening, becoming one of the best restaurants in Marylebone and one of the top Mexican dining spots in London, even nabbing a Michelin star. It's renowned for blending traditional Mexican techniques with the finest British ingredients, focusing on seasonality and sustainability. There's an open kitchen and private dining options like the chef's table for a more intimate experience. The Mezcaleria is Kol's subterranean bar with an exceptional collection of agave spirits.

Fonda

Modern Mexico

Fonda is the second London venture from Michelin-starred chef Santiago Lastra of Kol and is a modern Mexican restaurant that highlights regional cuisines from across Mexico. The interior is inspired by Yucatán haciendas and Mexican textiles, with the focal point being a traditional clay griddle, or comal, which is central to the dining experience. The à la carte menu combines Mexico's regional culinary styles through a selection of small and large plates, specials, and desserts.

L'Autre

A unique fusion

L'Autre, Mayfair's oldest wine lodge, has been a neighbourhood favourite since 1942. This historic spot fuses the unusual combination of Polish and Mexican cuisine alongside an extensive wine list and Polish vodka. They're known for their homemade dishes and family-run atmosphere where you can feast on hearty Polish pierogi or classic Mexican tacos, offering a unique fusion that's hard to find elsewhere.

Cavita

Nostalgic favourites

For her first solo venture, chef Adriana Cavita draws inspiration from her childhood, serving up comforting, nostalgic classics like Baja fish tacos and beans at her Mexican restaurant in Marylebone. The mains include favourites like chicken in mole verde and whole sea bream cooked in banana leaves, served with tortillas and rice, making them ideal for sharing. There's a dedicated downstairs cocktail bar that adds the perfect finishing touch.

La Bodega Negra

Worth the walk

You'll find La Bodega Negra tucked behind what looks like a sex shop. This beloved Mexican hotspot oozes laid-back vibes and is the perfect place to enjoy authentic Mexican street food just moments from Mayfair. They host a popular weekly bottomless brunch and private events for any special occasion. The menu features classic street eats with a refined twist, such as truffle and black mole quesadillas or sea bass ceviche, all best paired with their cocktails and Mexican spirits.

Conchita's Mexican Kitchen

Century-old recipes

Conchita's Mexican Kitchen was founded by award-winning salsa creator Javier Vera-Abbassi, who uses his grandmother Conchita's century-old recipes. You'll find them located in Selfridges Foodhall, where they're serving a menu of burritos, tacos, and salads, all served with Javier's renowned salsas: chipotle, adobo, mango and habanero, and salsa verde. Enjoy your meal in-store or take it to go, paired with frozen margaritas and refreshing agua frescas.
