We are always on the lookout for good Mexican restaurants, it’s one of our favourite foods and not always easy to find in London so we were thrilled to find this little gem of a restaurant that has recently opened in one of our best loved spots – Exmouth Market.

Cielo Blanco is a fun Mexican tapas style restaurant with a vibrant, lively atmosphere and quirky, colourful decor. The emphasis here is on relaxed social dining, paired with a passion for Mexican cocktails. Choose from tapas sized street food dishes, larger mains or sharing plates and if its too early for cocktails, try one of their delicious super juices or Mexican fruit waters. We loved both the fish and chicken tinga tacos and the slow cooked goat pilbil flautas. The kids enjoyed quesadillas from the children’s menu and also devoured a side of sweet potato fries. Unfortunately we didn’t leave much room for desert but just enough to share between us a portion of our favourite churros and an amazing Dulce de Leche ice cream sundae, delicious!

As with most restaurants and cafes in Exmouth Market there are plenty of outdoor tables and chairs creating that inviting cosmopolitan street-cafe vibe. With an interesting menu packed full of unique twists on traditional Mexican dishes and good- milder kids options too, we think it’s a perfect spot for a family lunch or early dinner.
