WOW. I can't believe a year ago this week, we gathered with a bunch of our family in London to have our first ever taco fiesta!

When we were first thinking of starting this business, we asked some of our loved ones to be guinea pigs and try some early iterations of our food to see if we were onto something. Let me tell you, we are still so grateful they were happy to oblige and deliver much needed feedback, especially the constructive critical kind.

Our process and product have come SUCH a long way in that time, thanks in part to what we learned that afternoon. We are really proud of where we are today, but without our incredible family, we likely wouldn't have even taken the first step into this bold new adventure. I'm glad we did.

¡Gracias, familia! We love you guys 🫶

(If you're driving, check their posts for updates on diversion directions.) Oh, and did you know they make absolutely killer pizza, too? What a match made in heaven. 🍕+🌮=😍

💗 I also just wanted to say thank you for all the lovely messages and supportive comments we have been receiving lately. This autumn has been a challenging time for many small businesses, but all the love we are getting from our guests shows us we are on the right track. It is absolutely carrying us through the colder months. 🫶 Your support means the world to small local businesses like ours!

See y'all this weekend 💃

I stole this shot from our friends . Isn't their cosy little brewery particularly majestic under the Northern Lights?! 🌌

No rad light shows on the schedule for tonight, BUT! We are excited to be cooking for our fav pub quiz night in the county. 👩🏼‍🍳 Let your kitchen have a rest tonight, bring your thinking caps, and show us what you know! 🧠
