Sipping on tequila & juice 🍸
With my mind on my tacos and my tacos on my mind 🌮
The amazing @clubmexicana team really took Taco Tuesday to the next level this week by collaborating with @radioalicepizzeria at @thespreadeaglelondon. Pizza meets tacos (with a margarita or two thrown in for good measure) 🍕🌮 I rest my case. Also, quick shoutout to the man who looks like he’s about to sip on my marg 🤣
🇲🇽 🇮🇹 We kicked off the Mexalian (copyrighting that) feast with tostadas, black bean pesto, sun dried tomatoes, pickled cabbage, fried green frigitello peppers, seasonal leaves & micro watercress 😋 All of these ingredients worked so well together. That pesto is genius! 👏🏼
The Primo course was bruschetta with heirloom tomatoes, Mexican oregano and micro basil 🌿 🍅
Secondi was a trio of tacos; 🌮 The Margarita with slow cooked tomato, ‘Mozzarella’, basil purée and micro basil 🌮 The Caponata with aubergine, capers, peppers, olive ‘speck’ & tropea onion marmalade & micro red vein sorrel and 🌮 The Calabrese Hot with tomato, ‘Mozzarella’, Mexican ‘chorizo’ & pickled Calabrian chilli 🌶 The pretendy Mozzarella and sweet tomato flavours were amazing but my fave was the Caponata. It had a lovely sweet flavour which also contrasted with a slight smokiness 🤤
For the Dolce course (swipe left) we tucked into a perfectly wobbly coconut pannacotta with peach coulis & edible flowers 🍮🌸 I honestly think this got better and better the more you ate. Divine!
I’d be lying if I said I knew what every ingredient was but DAMN I liked them all 😄 I’m yet to dislike anything that @clubmexicana makes. These guys have been top of the game for years now. To top it off, they’re also really bloody lovely. Stay tuned on their page to find out about their next Taco Tuesday (it’s a good’un) 🌮❤️
