Drinks
Side Hustle brings a Mexican-inflected cocktail and food menu to Bow Street in Covent Garden, pairing playful, well-reviewed drinks with dishes that reviewers frequently call a standout in their own right. Its high trendy score and strong ratings reflect a buzzy, of-the-moment crowd drawn as much by the food as the cocktails. It works well as a full evening out rather than a quick drink stop.

What people say
"First of all, our waitress was the sweetest person ever. She was definitely one of the best waitresses I’ve ever seen. The atmosphere of the place is very nice. We liked many of the things we tried, although some felt quite ordinary. We also found the menu a bit limited, and after a while, everything we ate started to taste somewhat similar. The portions were very small. We understand they are meant to be tasting snacks, but the prices definitely didn’t feel like snack prices. Overall, it was a nice experience, but we don’t think we would come back. I’m sharing what we tried in detail below: * Prawn croquettes: We loved them, absolutely delicious * Padron peppers: A familiar taste for us, but still good * Chicken taco: It was okay, nothing special * Pork taco: We liked this one * Carne asada: We didn’t like it at all, the meat was very bland * Boom Chakalaka: It was the taco of the month, and we really liked it * Lamb birria pupusa: Not bad, but we didn’t love it * Bergamot chili margarita: It was good * Rhubarb margarita: Amazing, definitely a must-try"
