Born from a Craving

Proper Tacos was born from something simple, but powerful; a craving. A craving for true, authentic Mexican food that reminds you of family, laughter, and cooking that comes from the heart.

Not the kind you grab on the go and forget about five minutes later, but food that lingers in your memory, rich in flavour, rooted in tradition, and made with soul.

What makes us
different?

It starts with our refusal to cut corners. We insist on using blue corn for our hand-pressed tortillas, no shortcuts, no substitutes.

For us, it’s not just about taste, it’s about keeping tradition alive. Therefore, we ensure every dish reflects that standard, from sourcing quality ingredients to crafting every taco with care.

Meet The flavour
legends

Meet Teresa Lopez and Scott Collinge, the couple behind Proper Tacos. Teresa grew up surrounded by the vibrant, warm kitchens of Mexico, where meals were a family ritual. Scott, a born-and-bred Brit, fell in love with both Teresa and her food. Together, they’ve worked tirelessly, often through long nights and early mornings, to bring something rare and special to London: real Mexican tacos, made properly.
