Welcome to: The Taco Masterclass
Meet your host: Paulina
Paulina is one of London’s most exciting Mexican street food talents, bringing the flavours she grew up with to markets, festivals and events across the capital. What began with missing the food of home became an obsession with recreating it properly, handmade tortillas, slow cooked meats, vibrant salsas and recipes rooted in traditional Mexican cooking.
But for Paulina, the food is only half the story. Behind every taco are the traditions, techniques and culture that shaped it, and she loves nothing more than getting people hands on and sharing the knowledge behind the food she grew up eating.
Master the Art of the Taco
Get hands-on with the flavours, techniques and traditions behind proper Mexican tacos, learning how to make fresh tortillas from scratch and build incredible fillings and salsas to go with them. Expect plenty of tasting, a little mess, and a masterclass in what turns a good taco into a f’ing good taco.

Most of our workshops are hosted at your venue, whether that’s an office, showroom, breakout space, warehouse or somewhere completely different. Where you need us to provide the space, we also have our own venue in the heart of Wapping, ready to host you and your guests.
Please check the Venue Requirements below, as some experiences require specific facilities such as kitchen equipment, extraction, temperature-controlled environments or outdoor space.
-
Paulina’s workshops need plenty of table space for everyone to get properly stuck in, with a separate area for demonstrations and preparing ingredients. As this is a hands on cooking experience, we’ll also need access to a kitchen or suitable portable cooking equipment, electricity, running water and good ventilation. We’ll run through the practical details with you beforehand to make sure the space is set up and ready to go.
