Breddos Tacos

Top choice in Clerkenwell, Shoreditch & Spitalfields

LoginSave

Started in an East London car park in 2011, Breddos found its first permanent home in Clerkenwell, dishing out some of London's best Mexican grub. Grab some friends and order each of the eight or so tacos, served in pairs, on the menu: fillings vary, but past favourites include confit pork belly, and veggie-friendly mole, queso fresco and egg.

The tostadas are also exquisite and usually loaded with seafood like crab or sashimi-grade tuna. Behind the bar, there's a wonderful selection of tequila and mezcal.
