If you think tacos are just a quick street snack, think again. At Chicome, we bring you tacos that redefine what Mexican food can be bold, refined, and unforgettable. Nestled in the heart of St Katharine Docks, with breathtaking views of Tower Bridge, our Mexican restaurant in London is the perfect spot to explore the rich flavours of Mexican cuisine in a fine dining setting.

What Makes a Great Taco?

A truly great taco is about balance. It’s the perfect harmony of texture, flavour, and authenticity. A soft, handmade tortilla, the right amount of filling, fresh toppings, and a touch of spice, it’s an art. And at Chicome, we take this art seriously, using only the finest ingredients to craft tacos that honour tradition while offering something new.

Chicome’s Must-Try Tacos

Here’s a look at some of our signature tacos that will take your taste buds on a journey across Mexico:

1. Baja-Style Fish Taco

A true classic, our Baja-style fish taco features crispy, golden-fried fish wrapped in a soft corn tortilla, topped with fresh slaw, chipotle mayo, and a squeeze of lime. The contrast of crunchy and creamy makes it a crowd favourite.

2. Cochinita Pibil Taco

A slow-roasted pork dish from the Yucatán Peninsula, Cochinita Pibil is marinated in citrus and achiote, then wrapped in banana leaves and cooked until tender. Served with pickled onions and habanero salsa, this taco packs deep, aromatic flavours.

3. Barbacoa Lamb Taco

Our barbacoa lamb taco is slow-cooked to perfection, infused with smoky, earthy spices. Topped with fresh coriander and served with a side of our house-made salsa, this is a must for meat lovers.

4. Mushroom & Truffle Taco

A perfect choice for vegetarians (or anyone who loves rich, umami flavours), this taco blends sautéed wild mushrooms with a hint of truffle oil. It’s proof that plant-based tacos can be just as indulgent.

5. Prawn & Mango Taco

This tropical-inspired taco pairs succulent grilled prawns with a fresh mango salsa, bringing together sweet, tangy, and smoky notes in every bite.

The Perfect Pairing

No taco experience is complete without the perfect drink.
