...and in London, Day of the Dead meets Hackney!

Mexico’s beloved grande dame of death, a stylishly attired skeleton named La Catrina, her grinning skull topped with trademark hat, has company in the market stands here: Hollywood extraterrestrials, Batman and other superheroes, along with sundry witches and monsters.

too late...

A good taco can be hard to come by in London, but a Mexican wave of taquerias are cropping up across the city.

The Mexican supper club Hecho en Hackney pays homage to the familial cooking of the coastal Guerrero and Nayarit regions native to Omar Salamanca Lopez.

With a cooking career spanning two decades, Omar has produced food for the finest Mexican restaurants, hotels, and pop-up events in the UK and Mexico.

The most authentically delicious eating experiences in Mexico are often found in simple rooms with hand patted tortillas toasting over wood fires and pots of homemade salsas simmering.

Hecho en Hackney continues this distinctive cooking, learnt at the knees of mothers and grandmothers, by sourcing local ingredients, preparing dishes by hand and staying true to Los jefes de cocinas who have spent entire lives refining recipes.
