Great food, service was amazing. Irene was so lovely and we had a great laugh with her, she gave strong menu recommendations and made 10/10 cocktails. Would come again!

Best place to satisfy tacos cravings! Tacos were as delicious as they look on Instagram. Succulent other dishes with margaritas, and a variety of cocktails for your likings. We relaxed in a cozy and exotic atmosphere, transporting us to a beautiful Hawaii (in my mind) ?? Resto worth visiting.

Unlimited tacos & margs!! Offer is unlimited refills of tacos and margaritas for 1 hour and boy were they good! The staff were great at topping up our drinks and serving the food. The food is so tasty and there are a range of taco fillings to try. Decor is really nice and it's a cosy little venue, though there are only about 8 tables to be sure to book in advance!

Had been really looking forward to trying out El Takoy, shower left feeling disappointed and that we had massively overpaid for what we had. Cocktails fairly priced and decent, no complaints. Food however, £18 for 2 underwhelming tacos is absurd, nicely presented but disintegrated immediately and tasted bland. We shared a side of the pork Bao (again £18 for 2), they were good but again over priced. Had checked menu online prior to going and prices advertised were significantly cheaper. Yes we could have left, but were curious to see if the food would be worth hefty price tag. Save your money and go elsewhere.

Concept seems interesting but is very misguided. The Hawaiian inspiration is nonexistent. It’s more so a space and service for Instagram influence and content creation. Service was lacking and cold with no attention given to patrons. Food presentation is picturesque but lacks in flavor and passion.Items are rather on the pricy side and sadly lacking when it comes to quality.The layout is cosy and intimate which is nice. The color scheme and decor is tropical and inviting.Sadly key factors are authenticity, pricing, and the issue with staff just hanging around.Visit if you want Instagram content, other than that there are better options with better quality and pricing to what you get. It’s too expensive for what you get.

Went for bottomless brunch on the Sunday - so attentive with margaritas refills. Venue itself very close tables, was quiet when we went but will be overwhelming if all tables are fullVegetarian options: One veggie option for the bottomless brunch (mushroom tacos)

We came across this place by accident and settled for it mainly out of curiosity. We loved the food and the atmosphere and the staff was most welcoming and friendly. Would absolutely recommend.

Hidden gem in Covent Garden. Went for the bottomless tacos & margaritas and it didn't disappoint! The staff was super friendly and did not stop topping us up with both food and drinks. The tacos were delicious and the margaritas were genuinely some of the best ones we've had. I only wish the bottomless lasted a bit longer, not because we wanted more food/drinks (we could literally not move afterwards), but because the vibe was so nice that we'd love to space it out a bit more. Still 5 stars, definitely recommend??

Went to this restaurant to celebrate my friends birthday. First we were greeted at the entrance and shown to the restaurant downstairs. The restaurant was was small but really nicely decorated. We ordered 5 different plates. It's a bit like tapas. Everything we ordered though was really tasty and fresh. I would particularly recommend the eggplant empanadas and lomi salmon toscana. Cocktail were nice also, very fruity. Overall great food and friendly service. Will be returning again.

Great service from our hostess who made us an amazing mocktail. Food was tasty and different which was great for my friend and I. The ambience and the atmosphere is intimate, with great music in the background to vibe too. Great for date night and meeting friends. Will come back again

Staff were really lovely and attentive but the food is bad. Bland taste and bad quality… shame. Even with 50% off it wasn’t worth it unfortunately.Definitely wouldn’t recommend this place for food, it is probably better just for drinks.

We got a 50% deal so have to check out this new restaurant - the ambient is very nice as well. We got the table a bit late but the staffs offer us a free drink while waiting at the bar upstairs so no complaints! The taco are pretty creative in flavors, the bun was surprisingly good, and the sharing platters we had were all very pleasant - the ingredients were fresh and well seasoned. Nothing particularly stands out to me, portion is on the smaller side, but we had a very nice dinner anyway!
