WELCOME TO THE MULE.
We’re not your traditional Mexican place. We just happen to think that tacos are a dish best served fun, with a side of liquor. Welcome to The Mule, where tacos, tequila and bourbon come to play.

Located in one of London's most treasured spaces, we think we’ll be your new favourite lunch spot, your regular late-night haunt and your go-to destination for a good drink. Our bartenders have crafted a bourbon- and tequila-focused cocktail menu that will surprise and fascinate, and we also have a variety of beers on tap.

And don’t forget the food. From Baja wings to Brussels Sprouts tacos, chef Matthew Kershaw’s menu offers an approachable and fresh twist on your favourite flavours from way down south. Our tacos range from classic Mexican to weird-and-wild-you’ve-gotta-try-this. All of our food is 100% gluten-free and we offer a variety of fare that is sure to delight your vegetarian and vegan side.

    We went for a mid afternoon lunch last Sunday. Adi was our server and we always love him. He recalls our drink and food order. He is chatty and friendly. Comes to check on us but gives my friend and I time to talk. A great meal. Loved our Riviera girls!! Still a favourite!!

    The food is excellent and came out very quick. Waiter was great. One small complaint is we were sat near the entry way, and it was pretty chilly. But awesome place, will definitely be back

    Menu is very limited and they were out of two types of tacos so we didnt have much to choose from. Really more about taquila and drinks other than anything else. Service was ok, what i assumed was a manger came by to ask how the food was, couldnt hear her and she was dressed in sweats, not professional.

    I booked this reservation in advance for my girlfriend and me, but upon arrival, the staff didn’t seem to know we were coming. Unfortunately, we were seated upstairs next to a large birthday party, which made conversation difficult. We would have loved to stay longer and enjoy our time, but the atmosphere wasn’t conducive to that. The food and drinks were great, but the overall experience was impacted by the environment.

    Everything could use a bit of a warm up. We had to send back the calamari app, as it was lukewarm when it arrived. Thank goodness we did, it was great when it was hot! The tacos also seemed to be on the cool side, but the flavours were good. The main floor dining area itself was quite cool too. Some of us had to keep our coats on while eating. Looking forward to giving it another chance on a warmer day.

    Thank you for joining us and taking the time to leave a review, Lisa. There was a little bit of a battle with the elements, sorry about that. We look forward to seeing you again soon.

    The food and service was good. We reserved a table in the dining area but were seated near the entrance. We could feel the draft from the outside every time the door opened and a lot of people traffic around us. Ambience not good. The service and food was good.

    Thank you for your review, Teresa. While we are thrilled that you enjoyed our food and our team's service; we are sorry that your seating wasn't ideal. We hope to hope to provide better conditions for your next visit.

    Delicious food and highly appreciate the non-alcoholic drink options. Didn't love the decor but to each their own. The flavour of our meal made up for it. The pork belly taco made me 😍
