How we got here

We grew up eating like this.

Markets. Neighbourhood kitchens. Long family tables. Tortillas made by hand, one at a time. Salsas that change with the season. Maize nixtamalised the night before, because the next day it shows.

We moved to Cambridge and that food wasn't here. Not the version we grew up with. So we stopped looking for it and started cooking it.

Mexuk is that kitchen. Mexican food cooked the slow way, in Cambridge, by people who know the difference. British produce where it makes sense. Mexican technique where it matters.

The doors aren't open yet. We're still building the kitchen, testing recipes and bringing the team together. Get a few months closer with us.
