Harden's says
This Latin-American venue in St Katharine Docks, with views of Tower Bridge, brings together Mexican fusion dishes with Peruvian-Spanish influences, from former Barrafina head chef Tomasz Baranski. It promises a less flamboyant but more authentic and elegant approach to Mexican cuisine than is the norm in Britain.
Harden's survey result
Summary
Chef-patron Tomasz Baranski has relaunched his Latino two-year-old in St Katherine Docks (with views of Tower Bridge) rebranding it under this new name (it was previously Chayote). With the culinary focus still on the flavours of Mexico, Peru and Spain, not a great deal else has changed. Feedback remains limited but upbeat. The menu does incorporate tacos to start and burritos at lunch, but main dishes are more substantial fusion fare: for example Pork Cheek Carnitas or Hake Fillet with salsa.
Summary
Innovative, family-run Latino newcomer that opened in October 2023 in St Katharine Docks (with views of Tower Bridge) that brings together Mexican-fusion dishes with Peruvian and Spanish influences, from former Barrafina head chef Tomasz Baranski. Fans say “it’s the most interesting restaurant in the area, but it’s not yet always well-patronised (which can sometimes dampen the ambience)”.
For 34 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK.
