Tacover 2026 champions you can visit

Four award winners from The Tacover 2026 have a fixed home in London. Here is the route, and where to find the rest.

TacoverAwardsCrawls

The Tacover is Europe's big taco and tequila festival, and it hands out the National Taco Awards. Most winners trade at festivals. Four of them have a fixed home you can visit any week. They're spread across London, so this one is a day out by train and bus, not a walk.

We checked every address and opening time against the venue's own listing before putting this together.

The route

1. Homies on Donkeys, Leytonstone

Best Trader and Best Halloween Taco, from the judges and the people's vote. 686 High Road Leytonstone, E11. Closed Sunday and Monday. Tuesday to Thursday from 5pm. On Friday and Saturday, lunch runs from 12 (the kitchen closes at 3pm) and dinner from 5pm.

2. Pretty Boy Tacos at Little Fires, E2

Best Taco from the judges and Best Modern Taco from the people's vote. Little Fires is the mezcal bar at 125 to 127 Bethnal Green Road. It opens at 5pm on Saturday.

3. Nopalito at The Hope, Richmond

Best Traditional Taco, people's vote. Nopalito runs the kitchen inside The Hope pub on Kew Road. Known for handmade tortillas and award-winning vegan tacos.

4. Tacos MX, Kingston

Best Traditional Taco from the judges, at both 2026 awards. 4 Town End Parade, Kingston. Open 11am to 11pm every day.

How to do it

  • Go on a Saturday.
  • Start at Homies for lunch, between 12 and 2.30pm. The lunch kitchen closes at 3pm.
  • Take the Central line to Bethnal Green. Little Fires opens at 5pm, so you have time around Brick Lane first.
  • Take the Overground and Mildmay line to Richmond. Get to The Hope before 9pm.
  • Finish in Kingston on the 65 or 371 bus.

More 2026 winners

Polanco also took home a 2026 award, and it has a restaurant at 43 Chamberlayne Road in Kensal Rise, about 300 m from Birria Taco. You can do both on our Portobello and Kensal Rise crawl. Ofrenda, A La Mexicana, Taco Dave and Awebo! trade at markets and festivals, not from a fixed site. Follow them to see where they're trading next.
