As a big fan of Mexican food I thought I'd try Taqueria. Turned out to be a very good choice.

Went on Friday night with no booking and still got a table, and even though it was in the bar area near the entrance rather than the main restaurant we still seemed to enjoy ourselves tremendously.

With regard to the portions, the tacos are small but only because this is how they are served in Mexico! Yes perhaps the prices could be lowered slightly but remember it is Westbourne Grove we are talking about.

The wait staff were excellent, very friendly and many are actually Mexican which makes a huge difference. The star of the show was the drinks. Their Margaritas are some of the best I have ever had. Go for these alone.

Another addition to my burgeoning list of good eats in London.

My expectations were high when visiting this restaurant. Being called "Taqueria" I was expecting something similar to the kind of food you could get in a real Mexican taco shop.

I was hugely disappointed. Portions are diminutive and prices are high. For instance I tried the "tacos al pastor" which are offered as a plate of 3 small tacos.

These tacos were no more than 6cm in diameter with very little meat in them and one small cube of pineapple decorating each taco. It was like a plate for a child and for £5.50 these tiny tacos were overpriced.

Then I had the "puntas de albanil" which were a pair of slightly bigger tacos but not large. Again, the price did not compensate for the dish.

The service was decent but the atmosphere of the place is rather gloomy and sad. This could have been forgiven if the food was good but it was not the case. The food was edible but not outstanding.

Overall not a nice experience eating there. I recommend to look somewhere else if you want something closer to a nice Mexican meal.

Something did not really feel right at this place. The staff were extremely polite and helpful but it lacked atmosphere and comfort, something which I generally associate with a Mexican restaurant.
The food was OK but nothing to write home about.

Don't go to Taqueria. I thought I would give it a go, even though it has so many bad reviews but I have to say they are all true. The food was average but vey overpriced for the taste and portions. The atmosphere was zero, the waiters were nice but not overly smiley or interested in explaining any of the menu.


The manager was rude and refused to give me a receipt as he couldn't print one! Overall it was awful evening and I wouldn't advise anyone to go to Taqueria ever!

Taqueria do such excellent guacamole, and it's hard to find a restaurant that doesn't serve it out of the jar but Taqueria do homemade and it's wonderful. The other food is lovely but the guacamole stole the show for me!
