London is packed with amazing food, but when it comes to tacos, not every place gets it right. If you’ve been searching for the best tacos in London, your journey might just end at Chicome, a restaurant that brings authentic Mexican flavours to the heart of the city with a twist of elegance.
From the lively energy of St Katharine Docks to the rich, bold flavours on every plate, Chicome offers more than just food, it’s an experience. Let’s explore why Chicome has become a go-to destination for taco lovers across London.
Why Tacos Are More Than Just Street Food
Tacos have long been a symbol of Mexican street food culture: simple, flavourful, and always satisfying. But tacos are more than a quick snack. They tell a story of tradition, spice, and community.
At Chicome, we take this story and build upon it. We don’t just serve tacos, we made them with love, using fresh ingredients, carefully curated flavours, and fine-dining techniques. It’s street food but elevated.
The Taco Scene in London: A Mixed Bag
Londoners love good food, and Mexican cuisine is no exception. But while there are many places offering tacos in the city, it’s often hard to find the real deal. Some places go too far from tradition, while others stick so close to the original that they forget to innovate.
That’s where Chicome steps in, blending authentic Mexican roots with modern creativity, and doing it all in a stylish, welcoming setting right by Tower Bridge.
What Makes Chicome’s Tacos the Best in London?
We might be a little biased but once you try a taco at Chicome, you’ll understand why so many locals call it the best in the city. Here’s what sets us apart:
Authenticity with a Twist
Our tacos stay true to traditional Mexican recipes but aren’t afraid to explore new ideas. Whether it’s a rich short rib or a touch of green apple, our chefs make every bite count.
Chef-Curated Flavours
Each taco is thoughtfully made, no shortcuts. From slow-cooking meats to balancing spice, crunch, and freshness, we focus on flavours that keep you coming back.
