El Pastor Battersea

If your'e looking for great mexican food or if you are a fan of margs this is my favourite in London. I have been 3 times in the past year and have noticed quite an improvement in the food and options ! The place is beautiful with great lighting especially if you are near a window and has outdoor seating. The staff was super friendly, knowledgeable and also helpful with making the right choices. I enjoyed the chicken taco. The short rib was definitely my favourite and the corn ice cream dessert should not be missed.

A solid spot to satisfy your taco cravings, serving up the essentials in a laid-back setting with decor that blends rustic charm with casual elegance. The staff were warm and efficient, adding to the welcoming vibe. The beef tacos were flavorful and well-prepared, using quality ingredients that really hit the spot. The salsa had a decent variety — the first two on the left packed the most flavour and were most mild in spice heat— and the tortilla chips were a standout: crispy, not greasy, and perfectly salted.

I had a fantastic experience dining here! Our server, Ciro, was exceptional and provided wonderful recommendations for both food and drinks. I especially loved the Mezcal, particularly the El Pastor Batch. We tried the Tuna Tostadas, Beef Steak Quesadilla, Baja Fish, and both side dishes, and everything was delicious and of great quality. The ambiance is modern and inviting, making it a lovely place to enjoy a meal. I highly recommend it! Expect to spend around 35-50 per person. Ciro Mille Grazie

Absolutely gorgeous atmosphere, lovely staff and such great food! Our waiter was so helpful and friendly, and made sure to tell us the specials! We had the apricot & basil margarita, the spiced mango margarita, chicken tinga tostadas, the beef tacos and duck tacos. All food and drinks were brought out promptly and was amazing!

The interior is really nice here and the service was great, we even got a free Margarita as it was national margarita day! The food let the experience down though, I was excited to try the Mexican brunch but some of the dishes were a bit weird. The chilaquiles was sort of soggy tortilla chips with an egg on it and the pancakes had crispy pastor ends which were a bit intense. Loved the chilli agave syrup though. And the guac was so green and delicious. The granola was also really nice.

If you’re in doubt about the taste, portions, quality, atmosphere, and service. Don’t. It has it all, great tacos, great drinks, great dessert, great service! 10/10. Will be returning! Special thanks to our waitress, Rafaela

We randomly popped into here for lunch over the bank holiday weekend and were pleasantly surprised. The food came out VERY quickly! I would definitely order the 5 sauces the mango habanero one was my favourite and the hottest sauce didn’t taste of much. I wouldn’t order the daily special pinto beans they were just average. The spicy frozen margarita was THE best frozen margarita I’ve ever had! It was quite busy but the staff definitely were the right amount of attentiveness. I got the steak enchilada and my friend got the chicken of fish baja I believe I may be wrong! The potatoes were lovely would definitely recommend ordering those! All in all I definitely would return

I really enjoyed my experience at El Pastor Battersea, the decor of the restaurant is very nice and comfy with both inside and outside seating. I tried the guacamole with Chicharron, the goat barbacoa tacos , beef brisket tacos and the Al pastor tacos. I thoroughly enjoyed everything, each dish was packed with lots of rich and fresh flavours. I really loved the guacamole and the beef brisket tacos the most. Although the tacos are small, they are packed with a lot of meat which is important. I wanted to try the pork quesadillas but they didn’t have any but that just means I’ll have to come back and try it then. Staff were also friendly.
