The El Pastor family is a small group of Mexican restaurants in London inspired by the decade our founders spent in Mexico City, running cult nightclub, El Colmillo. Named after the mighty Al Pastor taco, our food is committed to the flavours of Mexico. 

We have restaurants in Soho, Borough Market, Coal Drops Yard and Battersea Power Station that offer tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, mezcal, tequila and lively scenes. In addition to lunch and dinner, we also serve a Mexican brunch at weekends at our Battersea restaurant. As for drinks, think tequila and mezcal with punchy margaritas, Mexican twists on classics and Mexican beers. At our Mezcaleria Colmillo, below our Soho restaurant, we have an extensive mezcal menu and serve expertly crafted cocktails late into the night. 

Sustainability and provenance is of great importance to us. We make our tortillas in-house daily using heritage Mexican corn sourced from Mexico by working with the initiative TAMOA that protects corn biodiversity. Sourcing ingredients with care for both the farmers who grow and rear them, and the environment, feeds through everything we do.  

There are a limited number of bookable tables inside at El Pastor Stoney Steet. Casa Pastor can be booked here and El Pastor Soho and its basement bar, Mezcaleria Colmillo, are bookable here. El Pastor Battersea can be booked here with brunch served at weekends. We always have space for walk-ins across the Pastors. If you’re after a kids menu, just ask!

Well-behaved dogs are welcome inside, and larger dogs on our terraces.

The original. El Pastor Stoney is our first Mexican restaurant, located in the vibrant market area surrounding London Bridge. Come for tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, mezcal and more.
El Pastor Soho is inspired by the faded grandeur of many of the late 19th Century buildings of Downtown Mexico City. Alongside our menu of tacos, tostadas and quesadillas, we also run a lunch special on Tuesday through Friday and on Sundays. Downstairs, ‘Mezcaleria Colmillo,’ is named after the nightclub Sam and Crispin ran in the '90s and '00s in Mexico City and serves expertly crafted cocktails late into the night.

Casa Pastor is located in the heart of Coal Drops Yard, Kings Cross and has a large covered terrace. It serves tacos, tortillas, margaritas, while the long bar is perfect for just dropping in for a drink or two. 

El Pastor Battersea is located on the river, right next to Battersea Power Station with a large terrace that is open all year round. The menu offers the dishes and drinks you know and love, alongside some new favourites. We also serve brunch at weekends with classic Mexican dishes and Mexican twists on breakfast classics.  

Parties

Feasting and conviviality are the soul of Mexican hospitality. Our private dining fiesta menus offer a selection of our most popular dishes, all designed for sharing.

We have various private party and exclusive hire offerings at El Pastor Soho, Casa Pastor and El Pastor Battersea. The spaces are all inspired by Mexico and its vibrant settings. Depending on the location, we can accommodate groups from 12 to 120 with options for seated dining or a more casual drinks-led affair.
