Taca Tacos

If every train station in London was next to a pink and yellow neon sign with the words, TACO KITCHEN on it, the world would probably be a better place. Taca Tacos is a cosy, little spot bringing some of that sunny, California energy to the arches of Deptford’s Market Yard. It’s quieter midweek which means you’ll be able to snag one of the four inside tables and make a mess of your chicken pibil in peace. The meats are all slow-cooked, fall-apart, and comforting, but the seats are not, making it suited to a quick taco pit stop. Come the weekend, the big shared tables outside, under twinkling fairy lights, are made for big groups and getting elbow-to-elbow with other good decision-makers who are dunking corn tortillas, wrapped in crispy cheese jackets, into the six-hour beef birria broth.
