El Pastor Soho is a lively Mexican restaurant at 66–70 Brewer Street. Inspired by the founders’ years in Mexico City, the richly atmospheric room combines bold food, music and late evening energy, creating a natural meeting place for lunch, dinner and nights out in central Soho.
Tortillas are prepared daily from Mexican heritage corn, giving the tacos a fragrant base with real depth and texture. The al pastor version pairs marinated pork with pineapple and salsa morita, while beef brisket, soft shell crab, mushrooms and palm hearts offer varied fillings for the table to explore.
Guacamole, ceviche and tostadas provide a bright beginning, followed by quesadillas or larger plates such as short rib, roasted sea bream and chicken served with warm tortillas. Homemade salsas move from smoky and mellow to sharp and fiery, allowing each guest to adjust every bite.
Tequila, mezcal, Mexican beer and an extensive margarita selection keep the drinks closely connected to the food. The intimate private dining room suits small celebrations, while the cocktail bar beneath the restaurant and a late licence allow the Soho experience to continue well beyond dinner.
