Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about
The best Mexican restaurants in London
Mexican food is alive and kicking in the capital, with tostadas and tacos served everywhere from high-end joints to street-food style spots
London’s ever-growing Mexican food scene offers far more than platefuls of tortilla chips heaped with salsa, guacamole and jalapeños and smothered in gooey cheese. You'll get incredible nachos if you want them, but there's also quality quesadillas, tip-top tostadas and exemplary enchiladas on offer across town. You’ll find all these and more at London’s very best Mexican restaurants.
1. Kol
A seasonal Mexican restaurant and the first permanent venture from 'Nomadic chef' Santiago Lastra, Kol was the highest placed UK joint in the World's 50 Best Restaurants for 2023 list. Not bad going. Inside this modern Marylebone restaurant you'll find super seasonal British produce and 'wild food'. You will, of course, have to book pretty far in advance to secure a hallowed table.
2. Sonora Taquería
A slice of Echo Park in Stoke Newington, this LA-style taco joint offers three short menus; one for breakfast burritos, and one each for grill and guisado (braised) tacos. Most are pork and beef-based, though there’s a cactus leaf nopales offering for vegetarians and faux chorizo for vegans. A sensible diner would order three tacos, but you’d be within your rights to order four, even five. Prices are an extremely reasonable £3.50 to £5, and though they look petite, Sonora’s paper-thin tortillas come packed to the floury brim. Truly excellent stuff.
3. Breddos Tacos
Breddos keep things casual to suit what is ultimately still street food. A custom-made wood grill adds rustic charm. Tacos remain its strong suit, but try the seafood tostadas too, which team the crunch of tortilla shells with punchy cross-continental flavours.
And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
