Our playlist is created in partnership with our friends at Playlister. It aims to reflect and represent the sort of music you might hear amidst the everyday sounds of Mexico City, ranging from cumbias and reggaeton to 80s Italian synth pop and slow, gritty electronica, potentially with a few love ballads thrown in.

We make every effort to accommodate dietary requirements and are happy to discuss any specific needs to find the best options for you. However, as allergens are present in our kitchen and cross-contamination is possible, we cannot guarantee that our dishes will be completely free from traces of allergens.
We are able to remove ingredients such as salsas, fresh onion and coriander, however, some proteins are marinated in chillies and therefore cannot be modified.
We are always looking for talented team members. Visit our Careers Page for more information.

Our restaurant co-founders Sam Hart and Crispin Somerville arrived in Mexico City in 1997 and spent a combined 15 years there thereafter. Deep and lasting friendships were made, particularly amongst the creative community: musicians, actors, chefs, producers, directors, and artists. Frequent trips back to Mexico continue to inform us about this rapidly evolving cultural landscape.
We are proud to work with some brilliant Mexican suppliers. Chief among them is TAMOA, from whom we source our heirloom Mexican corn – you can read about them here. We have a longstanding partnership with Mezcales Milagritos, who produce our own EP mezcal. Our dried chillies for our salsas and our wheat flour tortillas are from Masafina, a woman and Mexican-owned supplier based in London.
We frequently work with Paola Ferregrino who runs MexiBrit, bringing together Mexicans in London and beyond. We partner with Paola to throw celebrations on key dates in the Mexican calendar, ranging from Mexican Independence Day parties complete with mariachis, to Mexican Christmas markets and Day of the Dead ofrendas. Similarly, we partner with Movimientos, a leading Latin American events organisations, who curate our DJ programming in the restaurants and host occasional parties in partnership with us. We have partnered with Mexican artist Ruta Castor, who has curated all of the art, objects, and Mexican artefacts in El Pastor Soho and have helped to finance their artistic practice. We actively look to engage, partner with, and support people and organisations within the Mexican community. If this is you, please get in touch events@tacoselpastor.co.uk
We are proud to work with Action Against Hunger, who deliver life-saving food, water and shelter to desperate families during emergencies. For every Shiitake Pibil sold, we donate £1 to this cause.
We are very proud of our tortilla-making process and would be delighted to arrange a visit to our tortilleria in Bermondsey. If you would like to arrange a visit, please get in touch events@tacoselpastor.co.uk
We’d be delighted to offer you our tips and recommendations for your trip. Please reach out at events@tacoselpastor.co.uk, if you would like to receive them. We update this list frequently, but bear in mind that Mexico is ever-evolving.
Please email the restaurant and our team will set out to help track down your lost items.
