"In a city where it’s incredibly difficult to find decent tacos, look no further and grab one of each for delicious, flavoursome and mouth watering tacos in London. It was 3 for £10 which is pretty good for London, give it a punt and you won’t be disappointed. There’s also mild salsa options for the white folks too Also what a kind and energetic individual who owns and runs the stand."
