A New Mexican Restaurant in Hackney Wants to Do Things Differently | Eater London

"A new taqueria and burrito spot in a developing pocket of east London near London Fields, it aims to offer Mexican food that deliberately avoids Tex‑Mex stereotypes by delivering honest, playful and creative dishes that push the boundaries of traditional cuisine. The short, mostly straight‑shooting menu features tacos, a burrito, fajitas, enchiladas, quesadillas, churros and snacks such as totopos with guacamole and nachos, while surprisingly including a burger and a “Mexican twist on a poke bowl.” The owners and chef Ernesto emphasise scratch cooking every day, mindful sourcing (including organic and grass‑fed meat) and working with local businesses, positioning the spot as a potential upgrade on London’s under‑represented Mexican dining scene." - Adam Coghlan
