Where to find the best tacos in Soho

For a taste of Mexico

La Bodega Negra

Mexican street food

La Bodega Negra is one of London's iconic Mexican restaurants, hidden behind what looks like a sex shop. This lively restaurant serves up authentic street food in a relaxed setting. The menu puts a refined spin on classic favourites—like truffle and black mole quesadillas or sea bass ceviche—paired with expertly crafted cocktails and a selection of Mexican spirits.

CDMX Tacos

A trendy Mexican fast-food spot

CDMX Tacos brings the vibrant street food culture of Mexico City to London, serving up an authentic taste of the capital's taco scene. Their menu is inspired by the lively neighbourhoods of CDMX and features tacos and quesadillas on fresh corn and flour tortillas, topped with classics like Al Pastor (marinated pork), Asada (grilled beef), Pollo (chicken), and Nopal (grilled cactus). Enjoy your meal with chips and salsa or guacamole, or go for the crispy smashed potatoes with chipotle crema. Wash it all down with an ice-cold Jarritos and a selection of fresh, self-serve salsas.

El Pastor

An ode to Al Pastor

El Pastor is a group of Mexican restaurants in London inspired by the founders' time spent in Mexico City. It's named after the iconic Al Pastor taco and serves a menu of tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, mezcal, and tequila in lively restaurants in Soho, Borough Market, Coal Drops Yard, and Battersea Power Station. Drinks include margaritas, Mexican beers, and mezcal.

Temper

Cheeseburger tacos

Temper is Soho's original steak restaurant and smokehouse, perched beneath Broadwick Street. The restaurant is centred around a giant fire pit and is known for its meat, mezcal, and tacos, including inventive options like cheeseburger tacos. They source beef from North Yorkshire farmer Charles Ashbridge, butcher it in-house, and cook it over an open flame. You can enjoy counter dining, private booths, an award-winning Sunday roast, and a bottomless Saturday brunch. Their Taco Tuesday deal is not to be missed.

Club Mexicana

Plant-based tacos

Club Mexicana is London's go-to spot for vegan Mexican street food. The menu here features favourites like nachos, tacos, and burritos filled with plant-based options like BBQ jackfruit and vegan chicken. Drinks include natural wines, cocktails, and the all-time "lagerita"—beer topped with a frozen margarita. It's all served in a bold, pink-clad setting.
