Set within the reimagined Victorian railway arches of Coal Drops Yard, on the ground level directly beneath Barrafina. High brick arches over a large, deliberately informal room, plus a covered and heated all-weather terrace. Louder, brighter and more casual than its neighbours: the arches do the architectural work while the room stays genuinely relaxed. Now trading under the group's Tacos El Pastor name.
