Breddo’s Tacos

I’m always on the lookout for a good taco (the Californian in me) and I will say this was a pretty solid taco for London. We went to check out Dinerama this weekend partly due to how close it was to our apartment but also the food choices looked good. I’m literally always craving tacos so when I saw Breddo’s on the list, I wanted to check it out. They had three to choose from: Baja fish (fried), 10 hr short rib and fried chicken. Never had a fried chicken taco and today wasn’t going to be the day; thus I opted for the fish and short rib (2 for £7).
The friendly server took my name and explained it would be a few minutes. Fine by me as I definitely appreciate freshly made tacos. :)
After a few minutes, my name was called. The counter had some salsa and sliced red chilies available and I opted to try out the salsa (would have loved some chilies but that would have involved awkwardly reaching over a man eating his tacos… never get between a (wo)man and their tacos).
Anyways, after walking the short distance to our table, I was excited to dig in. The tortillas were fresh though slightly cold on the edges (the short walk in London winter?) but the fish was warm and expertly fried. The batter wasn’t too heavy and allowed the freshness and flakiness of the fish to shine. I could have done with a bit less crema/​mayonnaise but the shredded cabbage, sliced radish and smattering of tomato did take me back to San Diego fish tacos — not as good but one of the best renditions I’ve had in London. The short rib was also really great. Tender and flavorful without being dry. I had added some of the salsa which had some heat (love!) but also seemed to be a bit sweet (blah). You could tell the tortillas were freshly made and they were strong enough to keep all the ingredients in without being incredibly thick — hate when the tortilla breaks due to all the toppings resulting in eating a taco with a fork… just no.
While there were some things I didn’t love about these tacos; overall, they are a great option for those going through Californian taco withdrawals. I’ll definitely be back at Dinerama to give them another try!

Best tacos I’ve ever had. Buttermilk fried chicken with a spicy sauce, jalapeños and salsa. Heaven. Started with one and ended up having around 4 of these.
Caution: once you have one you won’t be able to stop.
