8 Mexican Restaurants in London

The Mexican restaurants London has to offer are scattered across the city. Greenwich has a couple of London Mexican restaurants, while there’s at least one Mexican restaurant in Battersea, Camden Town, Clapham, Covent Garden, Crystal Palace, Fulham, and Holloway. With the number of Mexican restaurants in London increasing all the time, and with some taking the form of pop-up restaurants or mobile street-food vendors – true Mexican style – its best to keep your eyes peeled and your poor, abused palate ready for the sudden appearance of new London Mexican restaurants if you’re serious about your chilli and finding the best Mexican restaurants London has to offer.

Mexican cuisine is incredibly diverse, and the best Mexican restaurants in London reflect this, shunning the notion that Mexican outside of Mexico is simply Tex-Mex, the Americanised versions of mostly North Mexican dishes that, for better or worse, are responsible for the spread of Mexican culinary culture worldwide. And Mexican food truly is a worldwide phenomenon. The importance and diversity of domestic Mexican cuisine has led UNESCO to designate Mexican cuisine as an example of the world’s ‘intangible cultural heritage’, an honour previously only bestowed upon Japan and its cuisine. Deeply regional, Mexican cuisine promises a long, tasty journey for those willing to explore its fiery depths.
