Breddos Tacos in Islington - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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

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 :)

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

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.

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

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!

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!

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!

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.

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, a few of which 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 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 could have just been a time of day thing. Still, the place had some 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.

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

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

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!

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.

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.

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

These tacos are to die for. Honestly, the flavours are the best thing. Recommend the baja fish specially, but even the chicken ones are super tasty. Really nice vibe! The michelada is also super good

Breddos Tacos Clerkenwell is a great spot for Mexican food lovers. The menu consists of a variety of delicious tacos, all made with freshly made fillings and tortillas. The tacos are full of flavour and the ingredients are all incredibly fresh. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and the staff are always happy to answer any questions and help out with any requests. All in all, Breddos Tacos Clerkenwell is a great place to visit if you’re looking for an authentic Mexican dining experience. Highly recommended!

The food, service and vibes were perfect. This was our favourite meal in London - the birria beef and lamb tacos were otherworldly. We would definitely come back as each of the many dishes we had were very, very good.

The lady in the bar tried to charge us £10 on top of the final bill (£104) when me and my girlfriend split the bill in half. She charged my partner £57 and I noticed the mistake on time before tapping the £57. Nice place but I won’t come back.

I am a fan of Mexican food, and this place is one of my favourite mexican restaurants in London. Disclaimer: I have never been to Mexico, so I cant say if it is authentic mexican cuisine

Excellent Mexican food in a lovely small restaurant. Need to book otherwise you’ll struggle to find a seat. Good is super fresh and delicious

Amazing selection of Mexican flavours, and a fantastically inspired cocktail menu. My friend brought me here when I visited him in London and it did not disappoint- my only complaint is there isn't a branch up north in Birmingham so I can eat it more often! The pork and pineapple were cooked perfectly and complimented each other so well, and the green rice and black beans were lush!

Very nice café. A little bit pricy though. Handy for VFS Global next door, where the queues are horrendous. A friend of mine who also went for an Indian Visa tells me that there is also a workmen's café nearby that is much cheaper.

Absolutely love this place. The food is amazing amd really authentic. Always go for the lunch time deal, two tacos ( choice of chicken, beef or fish), rice and beans, great price and just enough so your not too full. Highly recommend.

Gorgeous authentic Mexican restaurant. Plenty of interesting choices on the menu, including vegan and gluten free options. Staff were efficient and friendly. Would definitely return here!

Kitchen's closed 40 mins prior to closure. Tacos are good and reeeealy overpriced.

Excellent Mexican food with a solid core menu and rotating specials. They do a great michelada!

A bit pricey but I think its worth it. Food is very tasty and meticulously served. Seating is a bit cosy do keep in mind if you don't want to sit knee to knee with friends. Great place

Went here the first time a few weeks ago. Probably ate the best tacos I’ve ever had. Delicious and super fresh food. Lovely staff too. Thank you for a great time!
