Taquero, a popular Mexican restaurant in Nottingham, has expanded its dining space by renovating the basement. The new area adds 25 seats, increasing the restaurant's capacity to 85. This expansion aims to reduce long wait times, especially during peak hours.
A Nottingham restaurant's expansion downstairs is good news for diners. Taquero , a bustling Mexican restaurant, has attracted queues from day one at busy times, with food lovers having to wait for a table before they can tuck into tacos and tequila. But a revamp of the basement means less time to wait for a table in future. Previously the restaurant in Heathcoat Street, Hockley, didn't take bookings but now bigger groups can reserve a table at certain times of the week.
With 25 extra seats downstairs, it takes the total number inside to 85 and during winter makes up for the lack of pavement seating that had to be packed away at the end of summer. Similar to the ground floor, the new dining area has stripped back walls, with earthy tones and colourful splashes from decorative vintage sombreros in a display case. Dan Lindsay, who opened the restaurant in December 2023 with Jacque Ferreira, said: 'People were queuing at the weekends and it's alleviated that queue a little bit which is good. More capacity has made it easier to get in. It's doing really good. The summer was great, then we lost that capacity outside, and this will make up for that. 'There's elements of the trip I did to Mexico there, the bamboo ceiling down there and I had this idea of collecting vintage sombreros. I think I think I bought pretty much every vintage sombrero in the UK.' It's taken a mammoth amount of work to turn downstairs around. The cave-like basement, used for storage, had a number of walls which had to be taken down to open up the space. Dan said: 'It's the final piece of the jigsaw in a very, very challenging project. It took a lot to get that place looking like that. Before it was unbelievable. It was like being in a cave. We took about 200 tons of bricks out, most of which came from downstair
