London Halal Tacos

Halal tacos, or halal Mexican food overall, are on the rise in London. The city has certainly come a long way. In my opinion, the birria taco hype was definitely what really set things off. It’s been a long-awaited time from having hardly any halal options for Mexican food to now having several options around town! In this article, I’ve rounded up some of the best-known spots that serve halal tacos in London. If you like Mexican tacos, you’d definitely want to save/bookmark this one!

Tucked inside Medz Corner on High Street Kensington is Ooo Burritos, one of our favourite go-to halal taco spots. The lamb birria tacos are the one to go for and they also do birria pizza, burritos, and more!

Meathead Mexican

There is no doubt that Meathead Mexican is one of the most popular halal food stalls in Camden Market and they are one of the early ones driving that birria tacos wave. There are 3 options on the menu, including the 5-hour slow-cooked beef, chipotle chicken, and achiote-spiced lamb. You will always find a long queue, so visit during a quiet day off if possible!

Mexa (at Arcade Food Hall Battersea)

Mexa is a spin-off brand from the popular Sonora Taqueria opening at the Battersea Arcade Food Hall, and its menu is all about tacos, quesadillas, and mariscos. We tried their lamb birria quesadilla but felt like something was amiss.

DF Tacos

DF Tacos is a self-serving sister restaurant from the high street chain, Wahaca. They are now serving halal chicken across all branches and make a decent no-fuss lunch spot should you be fancying some tacos. During our visit, we also enjoyed their rice bowl, which is worth checking out!

Tarcos Mexico

Despite only running on the weekends for collection, Tarcos Mexico has gained a fair bit of popularity among locals. It is run by a Mexican, so you know you’re getting the real deal of authentic Mexican flavours.

Mestizo

Halal options are a bit limited at Mestizo. But for the dishes we managed to try, especially their lamb barbacoa tacos, were absolute ace and definitely some of the best I’ve tried.

Burger & Beyond Soho

Yes, they are a burger joint, not a taqueria. However, Burger & Beyond does have a few tacos available on its menu in the starters section. We tried the K-Pop Chicken Taco at the Soho branch (the only branch serving halal at the moment) and were delighted with how good it was!

Tortilla UK

If you are looking for something fast & easy, Tortilla is always a convenient pick. With so many branches across London and beyond, it’s an easy & no-fuss spot to go to when you fancy a bite. Their burritos will always be my preference but should you be in the mood for tacos, they have them on the menu as well.
