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.

    First time here. Tacos were great and the service even better. Monica was personable, attentive but not intrusive. Very nice! Margaritas were also tasty. Background music needs something else. Maybe Christmas music considering the time of year or just something other than what was on. Dessert was a half full, runny, egg nog crème brûlée. Really not good. Should’ve skipped that. Weakest part of the meal.

    Limited food menu, tacos were small and lightly filled with toppings.

    The drink selections were amazing and our server was both attentive and friendly without being in-your-face. Apps and tacos were perfect along with the choices of hot sauces

    Homemade nacho chips were fantastic. The Dip dip dip appetizer was good value and let us try them all (queso was the best! Yum.) The tacos themselves were dry and bland to my tastebuds (chicken.) I had a taste of the fish, fishy, not a taste I would like (fish was fishy, I know, duh.) Queso poured over the tacos would have improved things immeasurably. Taco itself was soft and not tasty; I would have preferred crunchy, which was not an option. Pass.

    Hi Terry, Thank you for giving us a try. We do hope that you brought the quality issues to the attention of our team. We never want to leave someone with a bad taste in their mouth (so to speak). Hopefully, we can cross paths again in the future.

    Overall good…small plates equate to small portions and difficult to maneuver food around. Food was nice, but presentation could have been better.

    Thank you for the positive feedback, Kevin.
