About the restaurant

Santo Remedio is run by husband-and-wife team Edson and Natalie Diaz-Fuentes, who opened the restaurant after a successful run of supper clubs in Brooklyn, where they lived before moving to London.

The restaurant started life in Shoreditch, having opened there in 2016 to acclaim and great reviews. After a rent increase forced them to close after less than a year of trading, they crowdfunded to reopen in London Bridge, where they remain today.

Favourites on the menu include the famous guacamole with dried crickets, as well as tostadas and a huge range of tacos made with house-made nixtamalised corn tortillas. A bottomless brunch menu at £30 per person sees the dining room packed at weekends.

Critic reviews

The Infatuation

The space is great, especially the bar area, where you can rock up for a few cocktails. That said, the food unfortunately ranges from OK to totally unmemorable - even adding the memorable ingredient of dried grasshoppers to the guacamole fails to make the actual guacamole anymore interesting.

The Guardian

It’s run by Mexicans Edson Diaz-Fuentes and his wife Natalie, and is a simple blue space of cluttered shelves, coloured tiling and bare wooden tables.

Standard

With a mosaic-tiled bar, multi-coloured wallpaper, bright cushions and walls clad with Mexican imagery and trinkets, the look is as vibrant as the food - and the country from which it hails.

The Telegraph

‘Best one yet,’ said Alice as we left. Thumbs up from me too.

Time Out

Low-lit and inviting, it has a humble, homely feel: patterned cushions on the seats, dark turquoise faux-shutters on the walls, easy-listening Latin grooves in the air.

The Nudge

Colourful, tropical patterned walls; banquettes strewn with stripy cushions and vintage cabinets, mirrors and prints conspire to give the restaurant the feel of a living room – albeit one where you can get the best Mexican you’ve ever eaten.
