Mexican · Islington
El Pastor sits in the atmospheric Coal Drops Yard in King's Cross, serving up vibrant Mexican food in surroundings that feel genuinely lively without being overwhelming — on a good evening you might even catch Latin dancing nearby before you sit down. It's a solid choice for families, with highchairs and a kids' menu available, baby changing on site, and the buggy-friendly layout meaning you won't be wrestling a pushchair through tight gaps. There's outdoor seating too, and vegan options are on the menu, so adults with plant-based preferences are well catered for.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
Serving coffee, wine, beer & cocktails, plus grilled cheese & other bites from morning till night.
