A favorite for those who prefer grilled over slow-cooked meats. The chicken is marinated in a blend of Mexican spices and grilled to achieve a nice char. Served on a fresh blue corn tortilla with salsa verde and a smoky chipotle crema. Reviewers highlight the textural contrast of the blue corn.
Tips from diners
The chipotle crema has a moderate heat level — it adds a nice smokiness without being too spicy.
The signature order. Beef short rib is slow-cooked for several hours in a rich, smoky adobo sauce until it falls apart. Served on a house-made heirloom corn tortilla with horseradish yogurt, pickles, and a bright salsa verde. Reviewers consistently praise the tenderness of the beef.
Tips from diners
The horseradish yogurt is an unusual touch but it really works to cut through the richness of the short rib. Don't ask to take it out!
Proof that vegetarian tacos can be just as satisfying as meat ones. Thick slices of portobello mushroom are grilled until meaty and juicy, served on a blue corn tortilla with fresh pico de gallo and a savory adobo crema. Reviewers note it as a highly successful meat-free option.
Tips from diners
The blue corn tortilla has a slightly nuttier flavor than the yellow one, which pairs perfectly with the earthy mushrooms.
A shared snack that doesn't skimp on toppings. The chips are made from the same high-quality masa as the tortillas and are thick and crunchy, topped with a generous amount of melted cheese, creamy beans, fresh pico de gallo, and pickled jalapeños. Reviewers consistently name them as a crowd-pleaser.
Tips from diners
One order is enough for three to four people to nibble on while waiting for their main food. The jalapeños are properly spicy!
A more substantial alternative to the tacos. It features a base of seasoned rice and creamy black beans, topped with your choice of adobo beef, sabroso chicken, or portobello mushroom, along with fresh salsa, slaw, and crema. Reviewers call it an excellent value for a full lunch.
Tips from diners
This is much more filling than two tacos and only costs a bit more. It's the best choice if you're eating a proper lunch.
Masa Tacos is a specialist vendor dedicated to the art of the tortilla. Sourcing heirloom corn directly from Mexico, they nixtamalize and press their tortillas fresh daily, providing a superior base for their slow-cooked meats and vibrant salsas in the heart of Covent Garden.
The tortillas are the real star here. You can actually taste the corn properly because they press them fresh for every order.
Seven Dials Market gets very busy. Try to grab a seat at the communal tables before you order your food so you're not standing around with your tray.
They usually offer a '3 Tacos for £14' deal which is the best way to try all the different fillings in one go.
