The Verdict
EL PASTOR is the Hart Brothers' Borough Market Mexican taco restaurant on Stoney Street whose al pastor taco, the specific pork preparation from the vertical trompo whose achiote marinade and pineapple finish communicate genuine knowledge of what the Mexico City taqueria tradition requires, and agave spirits programme communicate what Mexican street food looks like when its most Borough Market-contextualised available London practitioners apply genuine taco knowledge in the most architecturally characterful available market setting. The trompo whose daily production communicates genuine commitment to the traditional al pastor preparation; the agave spirits programme whose mezcal and tequila selections communicate genuine knowledge of the Mexican spirits culture.
Why It Works for Solo Dining
A solo El Pastor al pastor from the trompo, the Borough Market arched vaults, the Mexico City taqueria tradition, the achiote and pineapple, the agave spirits, is London solo Mexican taco culture at the level of the most genuinely trompo-devoted available Borough Market taco experience.
