Customer Reviews
We were really looking forward to eating a Cavita. The starters and some of the tacos were nice. Unfortunately the main (beef), sides (rice and potatoes) and cocktails were very disappointing. The steak was cooked nicely but was bland, totally lacked flavour and our portion had a lot of fatty bits - a lot. The rice tasted too cuminy and was cold. The papitas weren’t fully cooked, plus the dressing was tasteless. We tried 5 or 6 different cocktails and didn’t like any of them! We also tried the 2 desserts available and didn’t love them. A real shame. Definitely there are many other places to get much better Mexican food in London and at a better price. Cavita is too expensive for what you get in terms of quality, flavours and portion size. We were 4 people and paid about £600. The service, on the other hand, was excellent.
The food at Cavita was excellent, and beautifully presented. The larger portion of slow cooked pork had plenty of meat, but there was not much protein in the chicken mole. The taste was fabulous though. I also definitely recommend saving room for dessert 😋.
My wife and I are from Mexico City and we've been living in London for the last 10yrs. We are always on the look for a nice and good Mexican restaurant where we can eat some real authentic Mexican food, not the fast food burritos, chili con carne or tacos you find in a lot of fast food chains. Last Saturday we went to central London to see the Christmas Lights and had lunch at Cavita and we loved the place. It was the highlight of our day. Everything is nice, making it a very enjoyable experience : The ambiance is classy and cozy, the decoration is very Mexican, the staff is efficient and friendly and certainly the star is the food. Everything was delicious and absolutely authentic : The best tortillas and totopos I've eaten abroad and the Cochinita Pibil is to die for. They also have a Tequila and Mezcal bar with tens of tasty and innovative cocktails. Definitely our new favorite restaurant in London.
The food was very good...Can recommend the smaller plates over the main courses. Beef birria fantastic. The service and ambience were excellent. Nearly everything on the menu is naturally gluten free so this is ideal if like me you have ceaoliac disease. There wasn't a gluten free desert on the menu that night which was disappointing but the cocktails were fabulous!
