England v Mexico

Our chef David went to see the England v Mexico game last night and he says the atmosphere was amazing. All he could hear was the Mexican fans even though they were in the minority. Just like us, they are pocos, pero locos - small, but crazy!





Funny English fans :)








The crowd managed to do 4 consecutive Mexican waves!

Super fan


Meet Rafael Nieves, a student from Colombia - our very own super fan! He will do almost anything to get his hands on a beef burrito with pinto beans.

Happy Birthday 2 Us!

We are 2 months old on Friday!

Can't believe things have gone so quickly. Like sands through the hourglass, so are the days of our lunch.

We are celebrating and we'd love for you to join so come into the shop on Friday for a surprise.

Adios!

Kitchen in training

We opened our doors this week for training with all food at half price. We were expecting to have the odd friend or neighbour popping by but instead we were inundated with local bargain hunters, including a food reviewer - yikes - a bit of a tough ask given we were far from ready!


Monday
We completely underestimated the amount of prepping that had to be done and couldn't serve a single person :( A big thank you to our neighbour who bought a coke so we didn't have a complete donut of a day...

Tuesday
We managed to have everything ready at 12.10 and even though it was raining (bad weather means bad business) a little queue of people formed... but then again, that might just be because Christina needed a bit of help working the till!

Wednesday
Christina improved her till skills, but we ran out of beef.


Thursday

The oven decided to malfunction and again we only managed to open after midday.

Friday
We hired someone to help out with our morning prep, but they decided not to show up, so again we weren't ready on time and even lost an order of 7 burritos* because of the delay.
*If you're reading this Terry, we're really sorry we let you down. If you still wanna give us second chance, you can pick up your order any time this week for free.


It was good practice though, and hopefully this week we'll do better!

Though still don't feel confident enough to charge full price just yet. Our target for this week is to be ready at 11:30. If we're able to do 5 in a row, we'll open properly the week after.


I can see the mariachi band already...
