If tacos were a religion, then taquerias would be churches – and Xuba Tacos, where the humble Mexican street food has been transformed into a heavenly delight – would be the Vatican. Equipped with a tortilla press that makes nixtamalised blue corn tortillas and a trompo – the rotating skewer for roasting meat – they have won themselves countless devotees.
Here, the tacos are prepared fresh and cooked slowly, with meticulous attention to detail. There are two types on offer: the classics (skirt stake, chicken and al pastor) and the chef’s special creations, where you’ll find gourmet ingredients like foie and truffle with truly divine emulsions, reductions and marinades.
Xuba finds the perfect balance between adhering to Mexican culinary tradition and letting the chef explore his creativity, with conventional flavours sitting happily next to more daring options. The result? A culinary miracle which brings dinners back again and again.
