About El Pastor King's Cross
El Pastor King's Cross sits in the Coal Drops Yard development, where the open-plan space manages to feel both airy and intimate. Parents can grab a table inside or out with highchairs and full buggy access, plus baby changing facilities on-site. The kids menu keeps things straightforward. Regulars rave about the Al Pastor tacos (pork with pineapple), soft shell crab, and beef brisket, while the habanero salsa and frozen margaritas get plenty of shout-outs. Staff members Alice, Larissa, and Ankush earn repeat mentions in reviews for quick service and solid menu guidance — helpful when you're navigating tacos with an 8-year-old. The potato and cheese tacos make a safe vegetarian bet, and the shiitake mushroom sharing dish surprises even the meat-eaters. Best for a casual family lunch after a wander around Coal Drops Yard, ideally when you can snag a sunny outdoor spot.
