Breddos Tacos in Islington

We had lunch and really enjoyed the food. We had one margarita, guacamole, chicken and fish tacos. All very tasty and delicious. The chicken and fish were so good, the sauce and cabbage went perfectly with the rest. Overall we would definitely come back. A set of 2 tacos is 10 pounds roughly.

Having lived in Mexico, I was very happy to find Breddo’s right around the corner from our business. The food was excellent, as was the service. Thank you, Breddo’s! We will be back!

Lovely service and atmosphere at Breddos Tacos. However, the food was disappointing. All the dishes lacked flavour, seasoning and was extremely basic food, that in my opinion did not match up to the restaurants prices.

Nice service but food was rubbish, for what you are paying it’s extortionate and the chicken tacos were cold. The ‘chips with cheese ‘ were just some tortilla chips with greasy cheese filled bowl which was hugely disappointing and sickly. a shame as our service was lovely ,

Probably the best Mexican in London

The rice bowl plate was small and food was cold. It tasted good though. Giving it 3 stars be cause it's also expensive for what it is

Had a Chinese team member visiting, they asked about tacos and I said that I had eaten here a decade ago and it was great. The food hasn't changed, still great, authentic soft tacos with delicious and generous fillings. Had a team of us eat here, everyone enjoyed everything and we've already planned another lunch next time the team are in the UK

Overall the food is okay, not the best tacos in London. The birra taco "starter" was nice. The fried chicken and aubergine tacos were average. Seating at wooden planks against the wall is uncomfortable. Typical London eatery where they bring 5 plates of food at once and there's not enough space and the food is getting cold. Service was very average but on standard for casual London restaurants. £75 for two people without drinks. DF Tacos and Proper Tacos (Nag's Head Market) are both better.

The tacos were mostly good, except for the birria taco. There was too much meat on such a small tortilla, and it was poorly seasoned and watery—it needed to reduce for longer. The fish tacos were good. The tostadas were decent, but the fish on one was salty. Also, fish tostadas don't need any sauce; stop smothering everything in mayo, etc. Less is more when the ingredients are high quality and cooked properly. I'm not coming back as there are better authentic Mexican places in London!

We had a mixed experience. In terms of food, the starters (tacos/tostadas etc) were tasty and intriguing. But then the main was quite bland and disappointing. In terms the room, we had (for most of dinner) to sit on one of the many very uncomfortable and located in weird angles stools. So if you get one the tables with wooden benches or come for take away, I'd recommend the starters. Spent 90GBP for two, for enough food, 1 cocktail and 2 beers

Really nice food and atmosphere at this little restaurant. Everything was very flavourful and fresh tasting. We particularly liked the Seabass Ceviche on the specials menu. They could do with a bigger wine list, but apart from that it is difficult to fault.

Delicious food, highly recommend the baja mushroom and chicken tacos. Good vegetarian options, and although there aren't vegan options on the menu the staff helped adjust the dishes

Quite a nice casual place. The chicken tacos were really good, birrria tacos just ok. Surprisingly good prosecco!

The chilli margaritas were the highlight of the evening.... very nice. Tacos, had the baja fish and birria both really nice n tasty, not the best in London but good. Nice atmosphere and service was good. Took a star off, my only issue was the beer on tap ....you're paying restaurant pint prices but get served less than a standard pint, I think the measure should be on the menu if it is non-standard.

Delicious wonderful best chef Ian and best front of house Adonis

Spontaneously popped on after wanting to try for years and it was beautiful! Micheladas were amazing as was the food. Stars of the show were the tunas tostad, elotes and fish tacos. Will be back for sure!

My new favourite restaurant in London, I had the best experience on my birthday for dinner. Food is absolutely incredible, and the service was some of the best service I've received in London. Extremely attentive and friendly staff, with authentic cuisine. I just wish they were open 7 days a week! Lol

Lovely atmosphere and very friendly service. The food is on the very spicy, slighlty pricey side.

I just really like it here. Food is tasty and inventive with unusual and creative flavour combinations. People are really nice and vibe is relaxed but classy. My second time here. I will be back :)

Amazing food, fun & chill staff and lovely vibes 🙌

A very good meal worthy of 5* but for the cold stale totopos with the guacamole (which was great, itself). Also, the Elote was very tasty except it was a far cry from the web picture (especially sad as fresh corn cobs are in season at the moment). The tuna tostada was super fresh. We had two deluxe combos: I had excellent fish and chicken, my partner had egg and mushroom. The "mushroom" was unidentifiable but delicious. The seasoned rice is worth a special mention. The dessert ice cream bar was a surprise confection of chocolate, honeycomb and caramel, produced locally. I'll come back to try the miso and Guinness version. There are lots of dining places with stools and a few booths. With lots of hard surfaces, breddos could be extraordinarily loud in full swing. We enjoyed a more sedate setting for our late lunch.

Came here for dinner with friends. The cocktails were delicious (specifically the margarita's). The staff were lovely and friendly without being overly attentive. We had some crispy potatoes that were insane to eat. Also had baja fish tacos - had a slight kick and were great and generously sized. The corn on cob was perfect.

The potatoes made me a better man. I’d say top three potato experience of my life. The tacos were also really good BUT THE POTATOES!

Great tacos with good flavors. Highly recommended

Sweetcorn, guacamole and cocktails were nice but the tortilla chips were stale and the pork neck was all fat no meat which I pointed out to the staff and they didn’t do anything about which was a shame as it was quite expensive.

Really good tacos! The best thing for me was the sweetcorn. It was so delicious that I had to order twice hahaha. I really recommend it!

I think this might be the best mexican place in the UK I've ever been to, everything was absolutely delicious

The chicken wings were okay - they had a really thick glaze that wasn’t great. I got the lunch time bowl with the baja fish and fried chicken tacos. You get one of each with rice and beans. The rice and beans were amazing! There was only one choice for drink which was quite sour. The best things were the fish tacos. Other than that a bit overpriced. Give the starters a miss!

Food was excellent taste, albeit small portions so my recommendation is you order a lot of small dishes (we had 4 taco dishes, two small plates between 4). Service was decent, speed wise. Waitresses weren't that enthusiastic but a thoroughly enjoyable and quality option for Mexican.

My friends and I had a Thursday meal at Breddos. We were all impressed by the quality, freshness and taste of the food and enjoyed the cocktails. I'd recommend Breddos for anyone who is interested in a high-quality and upmarket meal in the Holborn area. The look and feel of the restaurant is cosy, intimate and atmospheric, and I enjoyed the record collection and music choices of the staff. Friendly and attentive service too. I'm looking forward to going again sometime soon!

Disrespectful staff, mediocre food.

Breddos Tacos has been an asset to the neighbourhood since it opened in 2016. We're blessed to have Breddos' consistently excellent food, service and ambience.

Steak, cheese, chicken tacos and corns are delicious

The food was excellent, so tasty. Truly represents Mexican food. The service was amazing too, we were attended so well. There is a small bar between the tables and the kitchen. The place is small but the atmosphere is great. The whole place looked clean. You can see what happens in the kitchen and, although it was busy, our food was served quickly. Big thank you to Ian and the rest of the kitchen staff, Magdalena and the rest of the staff. We'll gladly return for another visit!

Authentic food, small menu, but all of it is top Quality!

Best Mexican food in London I’ve had.

Such a great experience. Best tacos in London

10/10 best tacos in town, by a long shot. Starters, wings and papas, chicken fell off the bone and the honey glazed spuds were nothing short of a god send. Onto mains Baja fish, fresh, zesty and full of flavour. Chicken, fried well and crispy superb flavour Birria, beef shin, slightly dry but none the less tasty Will be back and will recommend to anyone who’s a taco lovers. Small meals that fill you to the brim. Service 10/10 Food 11/10 Ignore all other reviews.

Lively taqueria bar offering authentic Mexican flavors! Tacos bursting with fresh ingredients, accompanied by zesty salsas and margaritas. Vibrant atmosphere, perfect for casual gatherings. A must-visit for taco aficionados! Chicken wings and the michelada were fantastic.

The food is not bad but it doesn't have any of the brightness, zing and interesting flavours that characterize Mexican cuisine. The fish and mushroom tacos tasted basically the same. I was puzzled that we were sat on very uncomfortable high chairs while the seats at the tables were empty for the entire duration of our stay. The restaurant also smells of stale, fried oil.

Food was average but came quickly enough and was hot. Difficult to get staff attention but biggest concern was when our hostess used our open water bottle as a ledge to lean her arms/ hands on whilst discussing the food options with us. Had to ask for another and wasn’t offered by default. Made me question the overarching cleanliness of the joint.

Eclectic vibes were adored alongside tacos and cocktails. Friends were present and enjoyed alongside clean banter. The staff spent effort being friendly, friends, acquaintances and smelled good. Thanks

There is a lot to like, and a smidgen to love, at Breddos Tacos. The food itself has plenty of vibrant flavours, some of which really dance off your tongue. Tacos made in house. Fresh ingredients. Guac so bright it makes you wish you were wearing sunglasses. Plus, who doesn't love washing down some delicious tacos with a tangy margarita or a lime adorned bottle of Pacifico. But the chicken was a tad dry and the black beans that came with the Mexican bowl felt like they could have come straight from a tin. Something about the restaurant itself left my partner and I feeling a tiny bit underwhelmed. Perhaps it was the juxtaposition of going from a screening of Dune 2 to the slightly sedated setting of Clerkenwell on a Saturday afternoon. Perhaps its the paradox of street food at not-so-street food prices. It's difficult to put a finger on and it might have just been a time of day thing. Still, top tacos and worth a visit for anyone in search of original flavour combinations, made by people who clearly care about their food.

Good food, atmosphere and service. Would recommend the fish, chicken, and beef shin tacos.

The waitress was super rude to us, food was average, and atmosphere a bit stuffy

Delicious authentic Mexican food, comfortable informal dining a an excellent cocktail menu. Well priced

Amazing tacos. Staff friendly and helpful. We had a lovely evening.

terrible experience, no room. average food

Hands down best Mexican food around!

Booked 8 months in advance (booked along theater tickets), but still given a tiny stool with no leg room and table surface by the door. After asking to move, moved into the corner were I would be butt-to-butt with a fellow diner. I couldn't put my bag down. After the waitress told us to move again, I gave up and walked out. There was only 7 diners in there with tonnes of seating!

Best tacos in London!! I can't thank Ado and the team enough for accommodating our large corporate booking at short notice - they even moved things around so we could stay all night. The service was incredible and the food and drinks were even better. Dine at Breddos, you won't regret it!

The tacos and the burgers absolutely slap

Dim lit and cosy, food was quite bland and the chicken wings were terrible, tasted undercooked and poorly seasoned Got half price through First Table and still don’t think it was worth it. Got the chicken and beef tacos, tortillas were dry and the toppings lacked sufficient flavour Staff were amazing though! Very responsible and friendly

Having eaten here before and receiving rude service and sitting on uncomfortable bar stools, I decided to try again today. Me and my friends were shown to our bar seats whilst all tables were empty. We asked multiple times to be sat on a table to which we were told many different narratives and then we were finally offered a table for one hour. We were about to sit here when I tried to confirm with the very rude waitress that we would return to our bar stools once the tables original guests arrive in an hour, but we were told they would have to allocate us the table on their system if we sat there and so the bar stools would be available for other diners. There was absolutely no effort to come to a solution (like not changing our seating on the system to ensure we have the bar stools when done with the table) and we thought the service was so rude that we decided to leave and go to a restaurant across the street which was much more friendly and welcoming. Will never be returning here even if I was offered the food for free!! What a shame!

The tacos are so good my team went there the second time for our social. That Baja fish one is simply :chef-kiss:

Amazing food, the baja mushroom tacos are out of this world, service on point, and super sounds... Its a must visit! 🔥

A nice cozy dog friendly spot! The cauliflower was spicy and Flavorful, my winners for the day were the elote’s and the fish tacos !!

Amazing authentic Mexican food delivered in style. Incredible how such a small kitchen can knock out insanely good food. Spicy Margs are a must have as are the tostadas. Order everything and then order everything again.

Best mexican joint in London imo. Great atmosphere, service and amazing food. Perfect for a date night.

The food is absolutely amazing although if you want a feast, it will cost you a pretty penny 😅. Great atmosphere and vibe... they will ask for the table back after an hour and 1/2 so if there is more than 4 of you and you want another round of tacos you may run out of time ... they are quite strict about enforcing this, arguably rightly so as they are extremely popular. However I do feel they could offer better non-alcoholic options such as a good beer option or a decent non-alcoholic cocktail rather than just effectively lime and soda.

Delicious! Will definitely be back. Our waitress was very helpful with our order, the food was sooooo good! The place is small so it’s gets very loud but otherwise a great evening at Breddo’s.

sehr leckeres aber scharfes essen! ein besuch bei diesem mexikaner ist es aufjefenfall wert auch nur für tacos mit fondue käse und cocktails (für alle tequila liebhaber ein jackpot)

Breados: My partner and I always come here for the fish tacos 🌮 and we always love it! We believe they make the best fish tacos in London, as two years ago my partner and I decided to go around different Mexican restaurants and just ordered FISH TACOS! Trust me, they make the best one in LONDON! This time we also had the honey potatoes, chorizo melted cheese and a kind of beef quesadilla. All the dishes were stunning! We were served by a friendly Spanish waitress who was really kind and helpful to us. We wanted to order a biscuit margarita, but they didn’t make it anymore and our waitress recommended us the passion fruit margarita, and it was super yummy! I’ll absolutely recommend this place as my partner and I have been more than 10 times! Remember to order the fish tacos and chorizo with melted cheese! Beddros, see you again soon! THANK YOU!

Food is always great! Always looking forward to go back. Stuff is amazing, super friendly and helpful. SAMMY was a star- we came without reservation and had just 1 hour. Place was packed but Sammy was so great and accommodated us. Wonderful customer service and connection! Thank you Sammy!!

Excellent meal, excellent place for friends, partners or family!

Everything was amazing. Especially the tuna tostadas and the corn! Best corn I’ve ever had. Also shout out to the fish tacos. Anything with the habanero Mayo is delicious. Bought the cookbook and can’t wait to make some of the recipes from home. Definitely well priced for what you get. Highly recommend. 😋😋

The food was lacking in flavor to be honest. It looked great as in presentation, but the flavors weren't there for me. Staff and atmosphere were excellent.

A taco spot with potential, but it does lack some details to take it to the next level. The beef tacos lacked complex flavour, and both the beef and bread had a grainy texture which i did not love. The fried chicken tacos had a great crunch, but lacked a punch in flavour as well! The staff is super friendly and the place had a chill vibe, however, the place would benefit from focusing on the music to elevate the mood! The price is a bit steep at the moment conciderinh the quality of the food, as you have to pay a decent amount to leave full. Thus leading to a lower score

Really friendly staff and some of the best Mexican food I've had in the UK. Reasonably priced for London and everything we ate was simply delicious. I don't like coriander (which I know is ironic since I love Mexican) but the staff were so kind about it and made sure to make my tacos with the pico on the side. They even offered to look after my suitcase while we ate. 10/10 would go back again.

So welcoming and the food is delicious. Thanks to Adonis and Ian who were exceptional!

Fun nano-restaurant with great food, fun vibe and hard working and friendly staff. Bar shuts at 10 so don’t be late. Highly recommended!!!!

Booked a table for cinco de mayo, said my partner was disabled. Service terrible, told to sit on stools even though I specifically asked for an appropriate table, (and restaurant was empty). Service was ignorant and nonchalant at best. Disappointed and quite frankly disgraceful. One server followed my partner outside to offer us our money back.

Everything that we ate was perfect, staff was super friendly and very reasonably priced. Definitely recommend!

The queso was good, melty and stretchy, but would benefit from something fresh to go with it. The elote was perfect. The masa fried chicken taco was very good. The chicken was crunchy, the sauce was great, and the fresh vegetables on top worked really well with the rest of the ingredients. The birria de res was disappointing. The meat itself was dry, and the flavor was not quite there. The staff was friendly and nice, and the place itself was clean and tidy.

Fried chicken tacos were so goooood, also had the beef one but prefer the chicken though. However, you need more than 3 tacos to be full.

Great food, great vibe! 10/10 recommend

Friendly, efficient service. Great atmosphere. Super busy at lunch. INCREDIBLE tacos

Excellent highly recommended - quick service, delicious food.

Fun vibes. Wicked tacos. The chicken esp to die for. Happy endings worth every calorie ✨

Helpful staff and fast service. Dishes were plentiful and tasty. Fair price for the standard of cuisine. We thought the 90 minute time limit for the table a little bit tight.

Great tacos and lunch special. Excellent service

Best Tacos I've had - and I've had a few! Fried chicken tacos are now my new favourite thing, possibly more than breathing.

Have had a lot of tacos in London. This is the best. The servers give great recommendations.

Fantastic spot - absolutely delicious. We started with the queso and I ordered the fish tacos and my wife had the crispy chicken tacos. Dog friendly was a real plus. Def coming again!

Great place for lunch! Good size portions and quick service. Simple menu which makes choosing lunch super easy and super quick. Had the rice bowl and guacamole which was tasty, fresh and delicious.

Asked if they did takeaway, got laughed at and the employee serving me started speaking to another customer. Appalling. I’m sure the food is great but the customer service (for me at least) isn’t it.

Was looking forward to eating here- wouldn't recommend. The food only tasted of chili. no other flavors were incorporated. what a shame.

Great Taco spot for lunch. Fab margaritas, tasty tacos, simple decor but the food and drinks are so good. Small menu which I like in a taco place. Quite small so make sure you book. Egg tacos were great and I wouldn’t usually think of this. Price is ok- you pay for what you get. Will be back.

Loved the fish tacos and the nachos. The food is quite authentic and the margaritas taste good! If tire in the area you should definitely stop here and try it. I would come back

Good food, great cocktails, excellent service from Magdalena and team :)

Best tacos I’ve had in London, Baja fish tacos were the highlight

Get the egg taco. Best taco in town

The place feels really crammed. Cocktails were a bit of a hit and miss - one margarita was delicious and exactly the same one we ordered later was bad (shouldn’t it feel the other way round?). The best dish by far was tuna tostada, really good quality fish. Chicken tacos were dry and not very tasty

Beware if you are with celiac! Despite having gf all over the menu the staff informed me that all the food would be contaminated. If I haven’t double checked I would’ve suffered badly. At the end I had to eat somewhere else alone as I didn’t want to ruin the plan of friends.

Fantastic lunch spot - really quick, great food and great value. ~£12 for the lunch combo - 2 tacos, rice & beans and agua fresca. Recommend.

A great place for some quick tacos.

Excellent quality Mexican food, in a cosy environment, and coupled with attentive service. Highly recommended!

I recently visited a Mexican restaurant and was extremely disappointed with the burrito I ordered. To my surprise, the burrito had no rice or beans, which are two key components that make a burrito complete. The absence of these two ingredients made the burrito lackluster and unsatisfying. The burrito was supposed to be stuffed with a variety of ingredients, including seasoned beef, cheese, lettuce, tomato, and sour cream. However, the lack of rice and beans made the burrito feel empty and underwhelming. It was like biting into a sandwich with only one or two ingredients, instead of a well-crafted meal. The beef was also quite dry and lacked flavor, which made it even more difficult to enjoy the burrito. The cheese was also barely noticeable, and the lettuce and tomato were sparse. The sour cream was the only saving grace, as it added a bit of moisture to the otherwise dry burrito. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant's burrito. The lack of rice and beans was a major oversight, and the dry beef and sparse toppings made the burrito unappetizing. I hope the restaurant can take this feedback into consideration and make improvements to their menu

Really lovely atmosphere, definitely good for a first date. Really great food, try the chicken tacos
