The 18 Best Restaurants In Hackney

"Papi, in the ground floor of a London Fields apartment block, brings big house party energy and serves creative, European-leaning small plates. The menu is full of fun and nostalgic dishes, like the cheeseburger-inspired tartare with a red plastic bowl of hot fries, but also elegant plates of smoked rabbit kielbasa. This is where to go for disco balls, Polaroid photos in the loo, and an extensive wine list." - jake missing, sinead cranna, daisy meager

We were a bit skeptical coming in because it was completely empty at 12pm a a Saturday, but glad we stayed! We shared the fajita nachos and ordered a carne asada taco. Very yummy 😋 That only have regular salsa, not spicy, but still tasty. They also have Miller lite 🥳

My husband really liked what he ordered (the tacos you dip in the oil). Mine was okay (tamale and enchiladas), but it had more cumin in it than I like. The elote was good. And the service was phenomenal! The atmosphere was also fun with a live band. I would try again but I would order something different off the menu.

Very good food and great service. We had a large party but the managed our orders and tickets flawlessly. The salsa was great with chip, definitely better than a lot of places. My mother's order came out wrong and they corrected it immediately and quickly. Everyone in our party left there with full a belly and a satisfied appetite. We will come back for sure.

Food is consistently delicious, no matter what dishes we've tried. Generous portions as well. I've checked a few on the provided list that we've tried and can recommend, but we have not yet tried anything that was not delicious, we've been here a lot, and there are a lot of options. (Highly recommend the jalapeno cucumber margarita with your meal as well). Service can occasionally, but rarely, be a coin flip depending on your server. However, overall this a great place for food and drinks and I recommend it a lot! Parents and adult children always very happy to meet here for lunch or dinner...it's one of our regular go-to's. We typically do spend a bit per person here, as we generally get adult beverages with our meals, but you can definitely get a great meal for less than what we normally spend.

This was one of the best Mexican dining experiences I have had in some time. The FOOD was EXCELLENT, the SERVICE was FANTASTIC, and the ATMOSHERE was PERFECT! You can watch sports, enjoy live music, or have a romantic date. The food was seasoned perfectly, even the refried beans were delicious. The salsa was definitely made fresh and had a little kick! You'll love the music and overall vibe of this Tex-Mex cantina. You definitely have to give them a try.

Huge portions of delicious food! Be warned the drink menu has no prices and one Margarita is $15 but they are very good margaritas.

Don't let an empty parking lot scare you away! My party of 3 decided to try this restaurant for a late lunch and were pleasantly surprised. Fast friendly service from employees and delicious food. Tortilla chips were hot and fresh, and the unsung hero was the flavorful and spicy salsa. We had a variety of different dishes and all were fresh and tasty. Even the special request of "no cheese" for one member of our party was taken seriously and there was no cheese despite the beans coming with a garnish of cheese. This may seem like a trivial detail, but it is appreciated and takes a careful staff to pay attention to detail. The only criticism I have is a minor complaint, but customers should be aware that this restaurant charges over $2 for card transactions. Given the economy, I get it, but customers paying attention to their bill may be disappointed.

Great birria tacos, queso dip, tamales, and enchiladas. Will return!! Edit. Returned and was not happy with what we got. My shrimp dish was made with bagged frozen veggies that were cold in the middle of the big pieces. Was not impressed for $14. And my girls chicken dish was beautiful but completely lacked in flavor and for being an "artichoke" side, there was not a single artichoke on the dish. No salt was used either obviously. It was not good. Best part was the rice. Even the $15 margaritas was lack luster. Didn't taste like any liquor was added. Probably won't return again. Don Pedro's always impresses us! Hands down Edit to the edit: went back today June 20th and had the birria tacos again and they did not disappoint. I guess I'll stick with these bad boys. Margarita was alot nicer too! Thank you
