About this restaurant

  • Good for groups
  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Lively
Soho’s longest-standing Mexican restaurant, El Camion serves authentic Mexican cuisine late into the night. Enjoy freshly made Tacos, Burritos, Quesadillas and signature dishes, alongside what is arguably one of the UK's largest collections of hot sauces.

Renowned for its margaritas and cocktails, El Camion also offers one of the UK's most extensive selections of tequila and mezcal.

Located in the heart of Soho, moments from the West End’s theatres, bars and nightlife, El Camion is easily accessible from Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Circus and Tottenham Court Road stations.

With great music, a warm welcome and a relaxed atmosphere, El Camion is the perfect spot for a date night or a late-night feast.

Be sure to visit the iconic basement cocktail bar, The Pink Chihuahua. Opened in 2011 by the late Dick Bradsell, inventor of the Espresso Martini, the bar serves the full food menu Wednesday to Saturday, 6pm–10pm, followed by resident DJs until 3am.

    Very central for Soho and the food was very fresh and great quality. Service was a bit hit and miss - due to them being busy. They do charge for water (£2) which they don't tell you. Only realised when I read the menu. As it's small I'd recommend booking.

    The food is always great. The drinks were good too and the staff are always friendly! Would definitely recommend this place. It does get really loud inside though.
