Waiter / Waitress - TAQ Ltd. - London

In March 2026, chefs Eduardo Yishima and Jackson Boxer joined forces to relaunch one of London’s original Mexican restaurants. Formerly known as Taqueria, the restaurant has been reimagined as TAQ. Originally opened on Westbourne Grove over 20 years ago, Taqueria was a pioneer of London’s early Mexican dining scene. While it has remained a much-loved neighbourhood spot, London’s taco culture has evolved dramatically in recent years. TAQ represents the next chapter. Our concept is simple: fresh, hot tortillas topped with high-quality grilled meats and vibrant salsas, served alongside cold beers and great-value margaritas. Eduardo’s menu celebrates Mexican classics, tacos, tostadas and quesadillas alongside inventive dishes that bring a fresh and modern perspective.
