"Proper Tacos is a little Mexican concession inside Holloway’s Nag’s Head Market and it’s worth making a pit stop for. The blue corn tortillas are handmade, the beef suadero drips lurid orange, and the crunchy salsa macha is spooned generously on every taco. You can get three tacos and a drink for £15 and while the pulled chicken encacahuatado can be a little dry, the duo of juicy pork chicharron and dripping beef suadero more than makes up for it.

Literally just had a life changing experience eating at Proper Tacos! The food was so good we kept ordering and eating! Chicken Tinga was our favourite. We also loved the beef, pork, cactus! All the flavours were wonderful. Cooked by lovely people. We will definitely be back!

Really lovely place with a good vibe - was not expecting so many people there but on Saturday night there were lots of tables, staff are really friendly and the margarita was perhaps the best margarita I’ve had in my life! Tacos were yum, the hot sauce wasn’t too too spicy if you’re wondering - I need to go back and ask for more next time :) thank you!

Best tacos I've had in London hands down. Beautifully flavoured with amazing spice, the tacos will be something I'll be savouring for quite some time - in particular the Suadero. The staff were extremely welcoming and went into great detail explaining the dish and the culture around it. Truly spectacular!

Hands down THE BEST tacos and authentic Mexican food in London. I’ve been living in London for nearly a decade and nothing has ever come close to authentic Mexican. At proper tacos you get transported. The service is also second to none. If you are on the hunt for some REAL MEXICAN this is the ONLY place you can get it out.

Amazing amazing amazing food. Very friendly staff who knew a lot about the food which made it even better. Go as 2 people and get one of every taco kind. Get the tamarino drink to level out the spice. Thank me later.

The best tacos in London, hands down. Their mole will blow your socks off - it's phenomenal. The staff are great guys and you can tell they do this with passion. I can't wait to go back and try a gordita, and whatever else they come up with! Must visit if you're looking for authentic Mexican street food.
