  • My experienc was a bit of a mixed bag

  • The beef acos were actually quite disapponting

  • The service was quite slow and messy

  • Better mexican street food is to be found somewhere else

  • Taqueira is a great lively place with good food and efficient service

  • We settled in with some margaritas (which were very delicious) and ordered Tinga Tacos which were served quickly and were made well

  • Chorizo quesadillas and Pollo Milanese tacos are superb as well

  • Margaritas are brilliant too

  • It is a casual place with no tablecloths

  • The head chef since August 2009 is Adam Pawlak

  • The soft corn tortillas are made here on the premises

  • In this case it was made by deep frying angel hair pasta

  • The resulting texture was neither crisp nor really soft

  • Service was well meaning and with two soft drinks the bill came to £

  • At a second visit I was able to try more dishes

  • The flour tortillas fried so they were crisp (11/20)

  • Much livelier was tinga tacos

  • Tomato and spicy chilli chipotle with a little avocado (12/20)

  • Tomato and green chilli sauce that was surprisingly lacking in spice (11/20)

  • Refried beans were much better than the slop that passes for the dish in most Mexican restaurants in London (12/20)

  • To finish churros were enjoyable and suitable sugary (12/20)

  • While deep fried plantain was rich but very pleasant (12/20)

  • Overall Taqueria was very pleasant and ambitious by London standards

  • Indeed it may currently be the best Mexican food in London

  • Not least the extensive menu (there are around twenty different types of Taco alone) of what seems to be truly authentic Mexican fare

  • Nothing here is toned down for the bland

  • It's also as much of a feast for your eyes as it is for your stomach because they've clearly taken time with their presentation too

  • The atmosphere is buzzy and fun

  • I believe this was helped along by the Shakira lookalike hostess who flirted with everyone and made us feel welcome and cared

  • The cocktails are reasonably priced and pack a pretty punch

  • The last time I was in Taqueria

  • The Cool Chile Company was founded in 1993 and has grown into a thriving operation for its owner and in 2005

  • Soft corn tortillas which are made here in London by the machine appropriately named 'El Monstruo' was enough to make me leap into the car and head on down

  • If you like beer then Negra Modelo is a refreshing and surprisingly light beer to quaff with your meal

  • The Cochinita Pibil was calling to me like a rat to the Pied Piper

  • Refried beans and house pickled Scotch bonnet encased in a thin corn tortilla was a dreamy mouthful bursting with wonderful flavours and exotic spice

  • Wrapped in a warm blanket of tortilla and steeped in a luscious tomato sauce with onion and green chile sauce

  • Crema and cheese was truly delicious

  • The cool of Tacqueria is unmistakable

  • The service was efficient and our waitress very likable

  • Quality ingredients that have been together with a great deal of thought

  • One of my dearest friends is totally mucho loco for all things Mexican and she wanted to try out Taquerí

  • First thing you notice when you walk in is the very grilly grill smell

  • All the waitors also spoke both english and spanish which was very cool in my opinion

  • So the portions were quite small especially for the prices

  • Also I couldn't resist the churros for dessert as the lovely waitress gave them such high praise and she was totally right they were divine

  • A drink I had a nice Mexican bottled beer (which was brought in a chilled glass and was heavenly)

  • Because it was definitely delicious and a nice visit overall

  • Service is not the best you can get

  • Recipes loaded with greasy sauces and burdened with microwaved sides

  • A stack of Dorito like chips horrendously doused in chilli sauce and sour cream is always an added benefit

  • The ambiance and target clientele are more or less the same

  • The downside of Taqueria is that portions are rather small

  • A tapas place could get away with this quite easily

  • The price for feeling you've eaten well and abundantly is at least £

  • The tuna tostada was the highlight of my meal

  • It comes as a small crunchy tortilla with avocado cream

  • The portion is fit for a starter to a more substantial meal

  • I can't help thinking that if the base was slightly larger

  • Then grab the remainder of your tostada with both your hands and bite into it

  • Those onion shavings are as addictive as the tastiest packet of crisps

  • I've never been disappointed with fish tacos so far

  • Taqueria's are no exception

  • The pairing with chipotle mayo worked flawlessly

  • The menu also offers starters you can keep for yourself or share (a portion of totopo chips with guacamole is enough to feed three people that's £

  • The choice is limited to fried plantain with ice cream

  • A selection of micheladas (beers with added juices and herbs)

  • Given mine are usually hard to cater for when it comes to Mexican food

  • I'm rather pleased with what I've seen and tasted so far

  • Since this is London and I won&rsquo

  • This Notting Hill Mexican favorite is always packed

  • The restaurant design is unexpectedly minimalist

  • There are no giant main plates here so if you're craving for Mexican rice and enchilidas and lots of cheese then this is not your place

  • We started off with some nachos which were alright

  • The roadhouse chicken is my favorite

  • The fish tacos were very good as well

  • The kind that you would gladly eat if you were hungry but you would never crave

  • The desserts were a disaster

  • The churros tasted like they were fried in the same oil as the chicken was

  • The chocolate crepe was the worst I have ever had in my life

  • The chocolate did not taste well and the crepe was out of form

  • Steak tacos and chicken roadhouse tacos were the only ones that were above average

  • The tortillas are hard and the queso is bland

  • Miso Hungry is back a day before a new year's resolution was due to begin

  • I'd probably say there are a handful of places but after a recommendation from a friend from West Coast (they probably take it more seriously than Mexicans) I had to give this a try

  • Started with a Classic Michelada which is a now my preferred method of drinking beer

  • My wife and I were here for dinner with a couple of our friends
