Chicome, near Whitechapel<\/strong>: Family-run, polished plates. Official hours show Tue\u2013Sat noon\u201310 pm, so treat it as an earlier option. 2 St Katharine\u2019s Way.\u2028\u2028<\/p>

City and Shoreditch for the truly late\u2028\u2028<\/strong><\/p>

What to order, quickly\u2028<\/strong><\/p>

Classic tacos<\/strong>: pastor, carnitas, fish. Look for corn tortillas at Taqueria and Santo Remedio.\u2028\u2028<\/p>

Late-night comfort<\/strong>: TacoSmash is \u201cFrench tacos,\u201d so it is melty, saucy, and chaotic in a good way. Perfect after a library sprint.\u2028\u2028<\/p>

Fancy night out<\/strong>: Los Mochis has a fusion menu and a skyline. Your group chat will forgive the bill when the clock hits 2 am.<\/p>

After-11 pm cheat sheet\u2028\u2028<\/strong><\/p>
