El Pastor London Bridge is the original restaurant in the El Pastor family, set beneath brick railway arches on Stoney Street near Borough Market. Inspired by the founders’ years in Mexico City, it combines the energy of a taqueria with a lively London dining room for lunch, dinner and drinks.
Tortillas are made fresh each day from Mexican heritage corn and provide the foundation for tacos filled with marinated pork and pineapple, beef brisket, soft shell crab, mushrooms and other changing ingredients. House salsas bring smoke, chilli, herbs and acidity so diners can adjust each bite to their taste.
Guacamole, ceviche, tostadas and quesadillas expand the menu beyond tacos and make it easy to order several plates for the table. Meat, seafood, vegetarian and vegan choices sit alongside one another, allowing groups to build a varied meal around crisp textures, bright garnishes and slowly developed flavours.
Tequila, mezcal, margaritas and Mexican inspired cocktails are an important part of the experience, supported by beer and alcohol free options. Bookings and tables held for walk in guests keep the restaurant accessible for both planned meals and spontaneous visits while exploring London Bridge.
Address: 7A Stoney Street, London Bridge, London SE1 9AA, United Kingdom
