El Camion in Soho takes the concept of all-day dining to another level, opening at midday and serving Mexican dishes, cocktails and plenty of tequila until 3am. A Soho institution for over 15 years, El Camion is known just as much for its quirky late-night bar as it is for its flavourful food. With a buzzy location on Brewer Street, very much in the centre of the action, it's no surprise that it's a cult favourite.
The menu kicks off with a selection of antojitos - translating directly to 'little cravings'. These work best shared between a few people and get things warmed up before some larger dishes. You could try the chipotle chicken wings, jalapeno poppers or sweet potato taquitos - offering a smaller version of a classic tortillas. There's also a selection of tortilla chips with freshly-made sides, like guacamole and queso.
Moving onto mains and these can be shared as well. Tacos come in servings of two, stuffed with the likes of Baja cod, grilled chicken, grilled prawns and avocado, or even a tasty-sounding mix of pan-fried chorizo and potato. Get one to try alongside other plates, or order a whole mix - it's totally up to you.
As a standard, the quesadillas are served oozing with melted cheese - which sounds pretty good to us - and boast a varied selection of fillings. Mushroom and spinach or jackfruit tinga are perfect for vegetarian or vegan diners, while house favourites include the steak tlayuda and juicy beef brisket. If burritos are your thing, you won't be dissapointed by options like carne asada or jackfruit and guac.
As mentioned, drinks are also a solid part of the offering here. Margaritas make up a big part of the menu spanning options across frozen, spicy and classic, as well as the Sotol Margarita with Nocheluna Sotol, Alma Finca orange liquer, fresh lime and a smile - of course!
