Taco royalty Sonora’s next chapter starts with birria in London’s hottest food hall
Mexa, which will open at Arcade Food Hall Centre Point from 16 September, will see co-founders Michelle Salazar de la Rocha and Sam Napier depart from their laser-like focus on de la Rocha’s home region of Sonora. Spurning the traditional divide between tortillas and seafood, Mexa will bring Sinaloa’s marisco culture to the fore, with both ceviche and aguachile headlining the menu. The former will centre around sea bass, while prawns will be the base of the aguachile.
The duo will also introduce two new quesadillas to their rotation: “gobernador,” another Sinaloan preparation of prawns, melted cheese, and salsa roja; and birria de res, served with consomé. This melting concoction of adobo-stewed meat — here lamb — hasin recent times, but quality versions are yet to make the leap across the Atlantic, save for at Bake Street near Rectory Road overground station.
The opening will be Sonora’s first after it closes its hugely popular London Fields location, with the last weekend of service being 9 — 11 September. The co-founders, who recently married, are also aiming to open a fully fledged restaurant in the longer term.Check your inbox for a welcome email.By submitting your email, you agree to our
