Taqueria Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "5 stars isn't enough!!"
• "Ordered for the first time tonight and I’m so happy we have an actual Mexican restaurant in London!! The food was unreal."
• "As a Mexican I can totally say that birria tacos are incredible as no any place in the Uk."
• "The quesadillas are the best thing on the menu - closely followed by the watermelon margarita."
• "We covered the table in a variety of tacos and shared. Think our favourites were the fish tacos and plantain tacos."
• "The pork & pineapple and the soft shell crab tacos are both delish 🤤"
• "LOVED IT! One of the best modern mexicanos I’ve tried in London! Leave place for the dessert, the spicy brownie and the churros are the best choice ❤️"

Cons:

• "The ceviche was bland and so were some of the tacos."
• "What had once been a go-to is now a no-go. I won’t be returning. Poor food at high cost."
• "The food was mediocre and didn’t have enough flavor."
• "Food was average, the steak taco was very bad and quesadilla the same."
• "Bad food. How can you make tacos so bad?! Like Some of it I couldn’t even recognise or finish."
• "The steak in the taco was flavorless and tasted old and dry."
• "The food was under average... The food just had no flavour at all."

Service

Pros:

• "The staff was friendly too and the atmosphere was very nice."
• "Amazing Tacos and staff. Really tasty food that just makes you want more."
• "Very pleasant staff and a fine dining atmosphere with nice open plan, good views of the rainswept streets of London!"
• "The service... relaxed yet attentive from a really lovely guy."
• "Good atmosphere, great staff."
• "Ignore the bad reviews - the food was great, drinks were great and service was excellent!"
• "Food was served promptly and staff were professional and attentive."

Cons:

• "Service was a let down, but maybe staff was less experienced than they should be."
• "Watch out for the aggressive self claimed manager who refused to give his name."
• "Our server didn't speak/had trouble understanding English and took plates away while people were still eating which made us feel rushed."
• "Service was very slow."
• "Food is quite good but the service is consistently awful."
• "The food here is great and came in time the problem is the staff. Very very slow service, not very friendly and had to ask numerous times just to pay the bill."
• "Although Taqueria had good reviews, I found their customer service to be lacking."

Value

Pros:

• "Really good value."
• "Small but mighty servings, I thought I’d still be hungry after but it was very filling."
• "Anyone saying this place is overpriced has clearly never eaten out in London. £20 for 4 tacos seems very standard to me."
• "Great to find somewhere a bit different, with a great menu - really good value, with a great atmosphere 🙂"
• "Yes it's London prices, but we didn't walk away feeling like we'd had poor value - the portions are what you'd expect and we were all full at the end of our meals."
• "All together, price, service, food, location, worth it, no brainer go for it."
• "Super yummy food and margaritas - maybe slightly on the pricey side for the volume of food but the taste makes up for it!"

Cons:

• "Overall quite overpriced but I can see why since there isn’t much decent Mexican food in London."
• "The food was OK, very small portions, quite pricey but the staff .... it feels like they are there for the punishment."
• "Not authentic Mexican food. The tacos al pastor have some kind of barbecue sauce on them for instance."
• "Pretty small portion sizes for the price £14 for the 2 tacos, the chicken inside the quesadilla was barley season and lacked a good brown colour on the outside."
• "It’s not great value for money as everything on the menu is about 20% more expensive than it should be."
• "Prices are high for the quality"
• "Overpriced and average food. There is MUCH better Mexican food to be found in London."

Atmosphere

Pros:

• "The atmosphere was very nice."
• "Had a gala time with our team at Dinner, awesome place with electrifying vibes."
• "Sitting outside on a warm sunny day is just unbeatable!"
• "A fun, casual place for tasty Mexican food in one of the best neighborhoods in London!"
• "Overall decent food, half decent service. But great atmosphere."
• "The best Mexican I’ve had in a while. Flavours were superb, ingredients were very fresh!"
• "Everything was absolutely delicious, great music and amazing customer service! 50/10"

Cons:

• "Lost star is for lack of vibe and inconsistent service - we were seated inside next to a rowdy table though other tables were free, and there was no fun music or atmosphere to make you want to stay longer and have another drink."
• "There is not a lot of room as well except for the separate room in the back so not a lot of atmosphere."
• "Only downside was that it was a bit loud (the music and things seemed to echo), so you had to feel like you had to shout to be heard."
• "Just another restaurant that wants to be Mexican but has no idea about what is a Mexican restaurant."
• "Sadly disappointing this Saturday gone. Great service from the waitress with the long dark curly hair and gold necklace, indifferent from others."
• "Would be nice to have slightly lower light for dinner service, plus there was quite a noticeable wait between dishes."
• "The waiter wouldn't stop watching us as we ate, which made an otherwise relaxed atmosphere feel awkward."
