Food Quality

Pros:

• "If you fancy some awesome food, extremely friendly service and a great atmosphere, head down to Del74 in Dalston for Taco Tuesday."
• "Absolutely banging authentic Mexican food. Bin off Wahaca and come here instead for their Birria Quesadillas amongst other things."

Cons:

• "The only tacos we liked were the fish tacos, the other tacos were very bad."
• "20quid for 4 morsels of food (a taco and quesadilla plate) that were unfortunately underwhelming."
• "The pork taco had more carbon than carnitas and both tasted quite bland."
• "The carnitas taco on its own was amazing, but the spicy margaritas we got were genuinely the worst I have ever had."
• "Food was ok, staff were friendly enough, but I would avoid if you think you’re getting Mexican, a fairly priced meal or an enjoyable evening."
• "The Mexican food however wasn’t so authentic. Squeezy cheese on nachos vibes."
• "Average tacos and terrible service."
• "Tacos was very fatty and tasteless, we couldn’t even finish half of it."
• "The food was excellent. The service was delightful and drinks came quickly, but they didn't seem to have enough staff to prepare and serve the food so some people in my group had to wait for a very long period until what they had ordered came through."

Service and Staff

Pros:

• "Been here a few times since I randomly discovered it and the staff is always lovely."
• "It's very small and the tables are quite close together but the staff were lovely and moved us to a better table when they could."
• "A very special place in East London, serving authentic Mexican food and well-crafted cocktails. Friendly service, cozy and colourful atmosphere."
• "We love this place and have been dropping in anytime we get a chance. As an LA native I can say these are the best tacos in London while totally have the right vibe inside."
• "I held my 30th birthday party here and absolutely loved it. Ruby and Ellie were absolute gems and couldn’t have done more to make the night a success."
• "The place is busy and small, however we got the majority of our food and drinks quickly."
• "This is a fun place with super delicious food and great staff. Don't believe the bad reviews of frustrated people."
• "Always a welcoming vibe, quick service and awesome cocktails. A great place for a cosy dinner and cocktails any day of the week."
• "If you are in Dalston I would recommend this restaurant. It's a short walk from Dalston Junction. They have a great range of Mexican dishes including but not limited to tacos and quesadillas. The margarita's jugs are great value and I would recommend the water melon flavour. Service is friendly and prompt."
• "Del74 is such a great place to have a great night out, the food is delicious, the service is great and the cocktails are nice and strong! Hidden gem in Dalston!"

Cons:

• "You have to be Mathematician to order from here - and even then you can be guaranteed that they bring the right order, right amount, or even place the right dish In front of you."
• "It started with a very confusing menu design. Definitely something that needs to be worked on."
• "The staff were just so childish. I’ve had better service from a school ground bake sale!"
• "Absolutely ridiculous….. The service was so ignorant. Cringe worthy And would highly recommend that you avoid it."
• "One of the waiters was really lovely and tried to accommodate our new seating request and another was kind of intimidating/rude and kept ignoring us and being rather abrupt."
• "When I entered the place I was super excited since it looked like a nice independent place. However the service ruined everything."
• "Although the food was relatively good, we had a nightmare from a service point of view. The orders were mixed up, we had to ask 4 or 5 times where our food was and eventually decided to leave before we had our last tostadas."
• "Not normally one to review places but the food was quite bland and definitely overpriced. Service was bad... very slow and they got our order wrong, not giving us two of the items we'd ordered and then still charging us for them."
• "The owner of this place makes it feel a bit weird when he’s around. Staff is great once left alone."

• "The food was excellent. The service was delightful and drinks came quickly, but they didn't seem to have enough staff to prepare and serve the food so some people in my group had to wait for a very long period until what they had ordered came through."

Cons:

• "It’s the second time coming to this place. The first time I was drunk and it’s was later so not as busy and I thought it was cool but having just been on a Friday night it’s a bit of a piss take tbh."
• "Greeted by what I can only describe as a BTEC Fillippo Inzaghi with a chip on his shoulder. Who continued to surpass our expectations on how not to treat customers or any fellow human beings for that matter."
• "Tbh after £50 I’m still hungry. I’m off for a mini fillet."
• "Just ate here with a mate. The service was really great and friendly and the drinks were great. Nice tacos and amazing chicken wings. I'll definitely be back again."
• "This place is THE BEST. Amazing watermelon margaritas, tacos to die for, and don't forget the steak quesadillas. Also lovely staff, the owner is a dude, and the tunes are top notch. So yah, I quite like it here."
• "Very fast service, good food and an amazing taco tuesday deal with £2 tacos, £3 beers and £6 margaritas. Exactly what you want for a fun, cheap meal out without sacrificing any quality!"
• "Was in Mexico earlier this year and it was on par with the quality. Best streetfood restaurant in London. The cocktails and food are banging and inside there's a great amosphere. Staff really good!"
• "I go there every time I am in the area. The staff is friendly and professional. It's clean and fresh. Great and relaxed atmosphere. 5 stars will go again"
• "Margaritas are delicious, the right hit of sweet, salt and fiery chilli tequilas. You can smoke yourself out with a mescal upgrade if that’s your ripple. The carnitas or the vege quesadillas are the best things on the menu with a generous side of creamy guacamole and chips. And their delicious salsas."
