Historical version 1 of Texas Embassy Cantina, SW1Y 5DL (view current version)

Tex-Mex restaurant on the corner of Cockspur Street and Pall Mall East, near Trafalgar Square.

Kake and friends visited on an early Saturday evening in May 2008. The tables outside were all occupied and we were told it would be a 30-minute wait for an inside table, but since we were only planning to have cocktails and a snack we could sit at the bar immediately; we chose this option. Service was friendly enough, though slightly confused as they seemed to be training a new member of staff.

The cocktail menu wasn't particularly long, but apparently there's a more extensive choice in the upstairs bar.

Bizarrely, when we ordered our second round of cocktails, the bartender warned that they'd run out of the glasses used to serve straight-up margaritas; we handed him the one Kake had been drinking out of and he washed it before refilling it, but not very well as the new drink had a small accumulation of salt at the bottom.

Accessibility: Toilets are upstairs, but they will let you use the service lift to get up there if you need it.
