Leytonstone, Mexican Restaurant Guide

“Delicious tacos in a lovely new location” are to be found at this hip-hop-blasting, graffiti-walled taqueria, which has taken over the old Spicebox site on Leytonstone High Road. Arriving with a strong reputation from a five-year stint in a smaller Walthamstow location, the selection mixes classic Mexican flavours with more local ingredients. In a June 2023 review, The Guardian’s Grace Dent thought its “astonishingly good” food to be “one of the more exciting things to have happened to this distant area of east London for a while… This is not Claridge’s – in fact, I’ve had a comfier seat at Costa Coffee – but they play Kool G Rap while you eat, you leave very full and the bill is utterly reasonable”.
