El Taco Grill

✍️ Time Out Sydney never writes starred restaurant and bar reviews from hosted experiences – Time Out covers restaurant and bar bills, and anonymously reviews, so that readers can trust our critique. Find out more, here. I spent five weeks travelling around Mexico in 2019 – diving into blue-jewelled cenotes, lazily sipping smoky mezcal over card games, and gawking at ancient ruins. But mostly I was eating tacos (plus tamales, chilaquiles and tostadas) for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I fell in love with the warm corn tortillas loaded with charred beef or spice-rich chorizo, paired with crunchy white onion, fresh coriander, creamy avo and zingy lime. Or spit-roasted pork with hunks of juicy, sweet pineapple. And crisp, golden, sweet-tasting battered fish with pico de gallo. You get my gist. The tacos I had at El Taco Grill – a food truck parked at Marrickville Metro, just outside the hustle and bustle, among grocery-shoppers and admin-doers – took me back to the streets of Mexico City quicker than I could say: muy bien! The vibe El Taco Grill is a new Mexican food truck by cousins Edson Dominguez Tapia and Miguel Seynos, who hail from Puebla — an incredibly vibrant city southeast of Mexico City, framed by views of Popocatépetl volcano and the birthplace of mole poblano. First firing up the grill this April, it's located outside Marrickville Metro – a shopping and dining hub in the Inner West – under a big leafy tree, and there's a handful of makeshift wooden crates to sit on. The guys tell me that when it rains, they put up a tarp, but you can also order takeaway to eat at home. This is a casual affair – really good tacos enjoyed sitting or standing on the street, just like in Mexico. The food El Taco Grill's menu is tight. It's all about the fresh, handmade corn tortillas served with guac, chopped onion and coriander – and the grilled meat. Choose from chargrilled tender steak, also known as carne asada, or garlicky chorizo. There's also a flour tortilla option, a big quesadilla filled with melted cheese, and a tostada. The best thing on the menu, in my books, is the volcano – a nod to their home in Puebla. The corn tortillas are baked so they're crisp and crunchy, then loaded with all the good stuff: melted cheese, avo, onion, coriander and lime. Then choose your salsa – there were four when I visited, all spanning different chilli levels. The salsa verde with jalapeños was creamy and subtle, but I preferred the bright, tangy and fiery la diabla with habaneros. Tacos start from $7 a pop. The drinks There's no booze at El Taco Grill – but you can quench your thirst with a cold soda. Better yet is the house-made horchata, a chilled, creamy Mexican drink made from rice, cinnamon and vanilla. Want something lighter? Go for the hibiscus-flavoured water. Time Out tip Starving? Do as I did: order a couple of tacos, including the volcano, and chuck on a quesadilla with mixed meat. Boom. A very good lunch indeed.

One of Britain's best seaside towns is just over one hour from London

London is a marvellous place in sunshine, but even the most die-hard lovers of the capital struggle to resist the call of the sea in balmy summer months. And there is no shortage of beaches near London – here at Time Out we've even made a list of all the sandy, rocky and shingly stretches of coast within easy reach of the city. If you're looking to narrow down your options and visit a tip-top seaside town, consumer advice site Which? has just published a list of the best coastal settlements in the UK – and one of them is pretty near London. To get its list Which? surveyed 5,000 of its members, who fed back on stuff like trip satisfaction and whether they'd recommend a destination to other holidaymakers. Which?'s list is packed with classic British seaside places, with towns in Devon, Dorset and north Wales all making the cut. Top spot was taken by Bamburgh in Northumberland (for the fourth year in a row, no less), and you can read more about that here. So, what about Which?-acclaimed towns that are near London? The highest-scoring (and nearest) of the lot was Rye. The East Sussex town placed seventh overall and received a 'destination score' of 79 percent, with four-star ratings for its food and drink, tourist attractions, scenery, accommodation and value for money. And best of all, Rye is just over an hour from London by train (one hour and six minutes, if you get the fastest trains). If you're driving, it'll typically take around two hours. Rye was the highest placed sort-of-near-London town in Which?'s list, but there were others in similarly prestigious positions. If you narrow the ranking down to just the towns with five-star beaches (besides, Rye doesn't have a beach and sits a few kilometres from the sea), Frinton-on-Sea in Essex is just an hour and a half away by train (and around two hours by car). You can find Which?'s article in full here.

Tiny UK seaside village crowned for having Britain's most beautiful beach

A quaint seaside village that has recently welcomed a £150,000 upgrade has been praised for its pristine golden sand beach that stretches out for as far as the naked eye can see A charming seaside village has been cast into the spotlight, after its 2.2 mile soft-sand beach was named as the best in Britain. Sandwiched in between rolling hills of lush countryside and azure waters lies the often overlooked village of Hoklham. Touted as the 'jewel' of the North Norfolk Coast, this coastal gem is home to an impressive 25,000 acre estate which features perfectly manicured gardens and the grand Holkham Hall - an 18th century Palladian house, home to the Earl of Leicester. ‌ Nearby, you'll find Holkham National Nature Reserve, which is home to large flocks of wintering birds and is an important site for breeding Little Terns, Ringed Plover, and Oystercatchers. "During the winter large flocks of shorebirds can be found along the shore edge and on the developing saltmarsh in Holkham Bay," Visit North Norfolk explained. But it's Holkham's incredible coastline that really sets it aparts from the rest. Stretching out for as long as the naked eye can see, and sheltered by soaring pinewoods, this pristine beach makes you feel like you're a 'million miles away from civilisation'. It's no wonder it recently came at the top of TimeOut's league tables for the best UK beach. "Holkham would be flooded with visitors if it were just that little bit closer to London – or, like, anywhere," the publication hailed. "It's surrounded by a massive nature reserve of pinewoods and salt marsh, full of orchids, sea lavender and rare birds "The beach itself is an enormous sandy stretch dotted with dunes, and it's at least a half-hour's walk from the car park to the shoreline, meaning you see nothing but nature and sea. Oh, and maybe the odd film crew: Holkham has deservedly starred in many a movie (Shakespeare in Love, for one)." Earlier this year, work began on the boardwalk at Holkham beach - which runs from the beach car park through the forest and onto a viewing platform overlooking the sand, to make the nature reserve more accessible. Costing £150,000, the upgrade will allow wheelchair users and families with pushchairs to enjoy the area. Dr Katy Owen, protected landscapes manager at Norfolk County Council, said: "We want more people to be able to experience the sound of the wind whistling through the pine woods, smell the salty sea air and experience Holkham Bay with as few barriers as possible... The boardwalk is the culmination of many years of collaborative work with the estate, and some time ago we recognised the need to upgrade the current facility." ‌ Located some 130 miles from London, driving to Holkham from the Big Smoke takes around three hours and 36 minutes. Alternatively, you can jump on a direct train from Kings Cross over to Kings Lynn, which takes around one hour and 45 minutes. Once in Norfolk, you'll need to catch the 36 Coastliner bus towards Wells-next-the-Sea and get off at Victoria. Then, you're just a minute's walk away from the stunning sand dunes and sea breeze. If you're flexible with dates, you can grab single adult fares for as little as £18. Accommodation in Holkham is limited due to its small size, but The Victoria hotel offers 20 individually decorated rooms across two historical buildings. A weekend's stay (Friday, 18-21 July) in a deluxe double room named the Hare Clump will set you back £330 per night. This is based on two people sharing. If that's too out your budget, the hotel's smallest room - called Honk's Pit - cost £210 per night over the exact same dates. All prices include breakfast. *Prices based on Trainline listings at the time of writing.
