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
