El Pastor Battersea

"On a sunny day, El Pastor's terrace outside Battersea Power Station is the place to be. The mood calls for margaritas (even if it’s a Tuesday), platters of short rib, and great baja fish tacos drizzled with tangy verde fresca and finished in three clean bites. It’s an excellent group dinner spot, but the vibrant terrace can turn a quick after-work dinner for two into a fun evening." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

"El Pastor are opening their fourth spot in Battersea Power Station. The Mexican restaurant will feature similar dishes to the others—tacos, tostadas, margaritas—plus a new weekend brunch menu. We recently checked out El Pastor. Read our first thoughts here. " - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak

"Come to El Pastor for tacos, and stay for the holiday-like energy. On a sunny day, the terrace outside Battersea Power Station is the place to be. You can count on at least a couple of margaritas on each table (even on a Tuesday), platters of short rib are wiped clean, and baja fish tacos are drizzled with tangy verde fresca and finished in three clean bites. Yes, it’s a fun group dinner spot, but the hectic, vibrant dining room and high counter-like seating on the communal tables inside can also turn a quick after-work dinner for two into a lively evening. Dishes that start off as good are elevated to great with the addition of the salsas which range from tangy and mild, to fiery once you reach the 'del vic'. The ceviches are lime-heavy and excellent, the guacamole is welcome during all parts of the meal, and the outdoor terrace is just the cherry on top when the weather is cooperating. photo credit: Teo Della Torre photo credit: Teo Della Torre photo credit: Teo Della Torre photo credit: Teo Della Torre photo credit: Teo Della Torre" - Rianne Shlebak
