Proper Tacos

The brains and heart behind the operation is owner Teresa Lopez, who brings recipes and techniques rooted firmly in Mexico, skipping the Tex-Mex clichés in favour of authenticity. Proper Tacos has built a cult following thanks to that dedication, earning a reputation as one of London’s most authentic Mexican eats and picking up awards along the way for its punchy, properly executed plates. It’s a place where quality trumps flash, with a short menu that changes little because it doesn’t need to.

Come casual, come hungry and don’t expect fuss - this is about standing at the counter, chatting tacos and letting the food do the talking. Whether you’re a seasoned taco obsessive or just discovering how good they can really be, Proper Tacos delivers bold flavours, genuine warmth and the sort of meal that has you planning your return before you’ve even wiped your hands.
