Harden's survey result
Summary
“Some of the better tacos in London” have made the Hart Bros’ “very crowded” taqueria one of the hits of Borough Market. “Really delicious, interesting flavours – you just want to try them all” – especially if “you love really hot, spicy Mexican food”. The Harts have followed up with Casa Pastór at King’s Cross (see also), Tortilleria at nearby Maltby Street, and most recently Pastorcito in the new Arcade Food Theatre at Centre Point.

Summary
“Top tortillas. Amen!”… “Divine tacos”… “Wish I didn’t have to share with my friend, as I could have happily hoovered the lot” – the Hart Bros’ “cool and vibey” taqueria has become one of Borough Market’s top destinations. “Great Mexican drinks”, too, including 17 mezcals, but you can’t book.
Summary
“Just like being in Mexico” – the Hart Bros brick-lined new Borough Market taqueria delivers “stunning tacos” that are “up there with the best of the best” in conditions of “glorious managed chaos”. No bookings, of course.
For 30 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. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).

"Chilled, authentic, helps you feel alive"
"Fun spot in Borough Market for the best tacos I've had (yet). Good punch of heat in some of the dishes, packed with smokey flavour. We were well looked after on a chilly day for eating outside."
