It has rave reviews from fans
A Nottingham chef who took the unusual step of going from fine dining to street food has found success in a 'hidden gem' pop-up restaurant in the city centre. Tacolypto, which boasts an innovative array of Mexican food, can be found at Bodega Bar in Cobden Chambers, off Pelham Street.
"I had cooked French, Italian, modern British and taught bits of Thai, Indian, Vietnamese and Japanese, but no one had ever mentioned Mexican. It suddenly dawned on me that it hadn't really arrived in the UK yet. So I went up and down the country before lockdown trying the top taco bars in each city."
The business started as a pop-up at Bodega in the outdoor seating area which was perfect for the days of outdoor dining due to Covid restrictions. They then teamed up with The Church of 400 Rabbits to launch a taco and tequila delivery option before moving back into Bodega for every first and last weekend of the month. They share the space with Canadian poutine company, The Squeaky Beaver and Prad Thai.
"The business has grown and my confidence too. I miss my mentor but I look forward to becoming one and bringing people in to teach them classic Mexican food. People are feeling more confident with Mexican food as they learn more about it. I want to implement it in a way that British people can understand and feel inspired to try a new dish now and again."
