Authentic Mexico City cuisine is is coming to East London when we launch our second site later this month in Spitalfields, just a short walk from trendy foodie haven, Shoreditch.
Lupita began almost 50 years ago as a traditional taquería (Spanish word meaning taco shop) just west of the historic centre of Mexico City before arriving in the UK in 2010 with the launch of the first Lupita restaurant on Villiers Street.
The new restaurant will be in keeping with our ethos of serving real Mexican food using fresh, flavoursome ingredients to create exciting and tastebud tingling dishes, to show a true reflection of the incredible flavours, colours and smells found throughout Mexico. Dishes are made-to-order and will include tacos, tostadas, quesadillas and enchiladas and Mexico’s famous Churros con Chocolate - the Spanish pastry brought to Mexico in the 1930’s.
The newly designed restaurant will serve our much loved margaritas and cocktails, made with 100% agave tequila, as well as a selection of South American wines and rare Mexican beers.
Rafael Mondragón, business development manager and partner comments: “Opening our second restaurant is a big step for us and we’re all extremely excited about the launch. We are providing diners with a truly authentic experience in line with the rising demand for real Mexican food that has been created with the country’s food history in mind. The new restaurant will give diners the freedom and flexibility to eat how they want to with express lunches, take away and delivery all an option as well as enjoying leisurely lunches and dinners with colleagues and friends.”
Executive chef Marco Cuervo, from Mexico City, who has been a part of Lupita since early 2011 will oversee the kitchens at both sites.
The new restaurant will be located at 60-62 Commercial Street, Spitalfields, London E1 6LT.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
