Breddos Tacos

Breddos Tacos was founded by Chris Whitney and Nud Dudhia during the first wave of the street-food explosion in London in the early 2010s, selling their tacos at Street Feast’s food markets and festivals. This was their first permanent taquería, opened in the heart of vibrant Clerkenwell in 2016.

As with many bricks-and-mortar restaurants opened by successful street-food traders, the atmosphere at Breddos’ Clerkenwell site is dingy and loud – in a good way. The best seats in the house are right by the window, looking out on the crossroads near Golden Lane, or at one of the seats at the wraparound bar counter.

Whether it’s larger plates or tacos, the food at Breddos tends to be jam-packed with flavour. Try the octopus and nduja taco out for size, or opt for long-term favourite masa fried chicken with habanero mayo or a Baja fish taco inspired by the duo’s journeys through the Baja California peninsula. The mezcal list is one of the most extensive in London, too, with many directly imported that you won’t find anywhere else.
