La Bodega Negra is a new Mexican restaurant in Soho from Serge Becker, London restaurateur Will Ricker and entrepreneur Ed Spencer Churchill.
La Bodega Negra features a 100-seater restaurant and bar that you enter through an entrance to a fake sex shop. The downstairs dining room is cool, dark and stylish with exposed bricks and low lighting.
The menu at La Bodega Negra offers ceviches, tacos and tostados, as well as rotisserie dishes and specialities from a wood burning grill – our advice would be to work your way through the cocktails (pisco sours and margharitas are favourites) and sample a few of the tacos and tostados.
There is also a more casual upstairs restaurant with a road side taqueria, and all-day Mexican café.
Serge Becker is behind some of New York’s best loved restaurants, bars and clubs, including La Esquina, The Box and The Mercer Hotel. Will Ricker has a portfolio of Pan Asian restaurants in London including Eight Over Eight, E&O and Great Eastern Dining Room.

went there last night – very dark and hard to read menus and even see what you are eating…
food is very overpriced although tasty
