In 2026 London’s Mexican food scene is well and truly booming. Don’t believe us? Check out Time Out’s updated guide to the 20 best Mexican restaurants in London, which spotlights the finest places serving up handmade tortillas, scrummy salsas and ceviches, fresh moles and tasty margaritas. Now, we come bearing even more news that will get you reaching for the maracas. From this summer, there will be one more place to add to the list, because famed Miami taqueria Coyo Taco is opening its first UK outpost. Set to debut in Victoria, Coyo Taco is bringing its menu of hand-pressed tacos and torta sandwiches to the Big Smoke. Burritos, bowls, salads and quesadillas will also be available as part of the restaurant’s all-day dining, which will include a breakfast menu centred on chilaquiles and Mexican coffee. Its ‘todo es fresco’ motto – meaning ‘everything is fresh’ – will extend to the London site, where the kitchen will press corn tortillas daily and smash guacamole to order.

Food isn’t the only focus, either. Like its Miami locations, the London site will be home to late night speakeasy Bar Coyo, where tequila and mezcal will take centre stage. Agave-aficionados will even be able to hire tequila lockers where they can buy and store their own bottle until the next time they visit.  A...

The action will only be affecting services on the Underground, meaning that the DLR, Overground and Elizabeth lines will all still be operating. London buses will be affected by separate strikes in April and May.  RMT drivers are striking over a proposal to condense the working week into four days, resulting in changing shift patterns.  A representative from RMT said: ‘Our members will not accept TfL's plan to condense the working week for tube drivers where shift patterns will become unpredictable leading to fatigue and increasing safety risks. ‘A majority of tube drivers when asked have...
