Taco Juan, sure. Taco Tomas? Maybe. Taco Dave? Not the sort of first name that has you shouting ‘sí, señor!’ But one mouthful of Dave’s meltingly tender beef brisket, all sticky with Dr Pepper glaze, and his name will be etched into your taste buds. The Dr Pepper thing is more than a gimmick, too – you can’t taste the mysterious fizzy drink as such, but you can certainly tell it’s been there. Also brace yourself for his cornflake fried chicken and veggie ideas such as halloumi with pomegranate molasses.

Don’t miss: Dr Pepper and chipotle beef brisket taco (£6 for two, £8 for three)

Find it at: Kerb King’s Cross, Kerb Gherkin, Broadway Market
