Taco Taco

Went for the Prime Beef Corn (gluten free) Taco which was fresh and delicious. The fillings were amazing and the ambience in the place was cool. I’m Gluten free and they had so many options for me on their menu. 100% recommend.

Had the salmon and prawn tacos. Super tasty. With the side of crispy corn. Properly one of the best tacos I’ve had! Definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Seriously delicious, fresh, fast, friendly and Knowledgeable staff happy to recommend but not pushy at all. Clean and fun!

The tacos were extremely good!!! So tasty and the place is really cute. I will absolutely repeat!

This is a new Taco restaurant in the heart of East London. Premises opened on 15/09/2023. My visit was on 18/09/23

To get to this restaurant, you’re looking at a 11-13 mins walk from Liverpool Street Station. Overground, Central Line, Hammersmith & City, Metropolitan, Circle & District Lines (Underground Tube)

Firstly, I like to start off by saying that Michael and his brother, were very, very hospitable and a very warm, excellent customer service from the outset.

Okay, so what was purchased.

Peruvian Chicken, Mayan Veggie Bites, Salmon Poke, Mayan Veggie Bites, Corn Elote Salad

Was kindly given a few freebies; Albajores

I’m going to be brutally honest about each Taco flavour and to manage expectations, don’t expect an authentic Mexican Taqueria (lugar de tacos)

Peruvian Chicken - very dry and no seasoning on the pulled chicken. Have suggested to do a Birria style pull chicken

Prawn Star - no citrus balance and most definitely no Smokey prawns. Think naked prawn cocktail.

Mayan Veggie Bites - this was the sleeper hit Taco for me. However, the only criticism i have is the flavours are not Mayan related, more Asian theme. So have suggested to what ingredients that the Mayan ancient civilisation did use; i.e. Pumpkin, Sweet Potato, etc.

Salmon Poke - I’d customised mine and made it slightly better. The salmon has no soy sauce marination or citrus tone. A vital  ingredient to use for salty, acidity tones to the profile of the taco. Have suggested to use Ponzu sauce marination for the Salmon.

Corn Elote Salad - regrettably this needs an overhaul for its recipe. It was to me just corn in mayonnaise with a sprinkling of seasoning which doesn’t assist the corn whatsoever. This side was very weak.

Albajores (Freebie) - lack of filling and very, very dry when consumed. It zaps away any moisture you have in your mouth.

Beverage selection was okay. Had a raspberry lemonade. This is branded and not in house made.

They have a disabled toilet.

Parking will be somewhat difficult to find.

They will be opening a second location in Covent Garden.

An interesting concept but still requires some tweaks here and there on their food menu. Don’t know how many food tasting samples they had prior to launch?
