Meet your host: Paulina

Paulina is one of London’s most exciting street food talents, bringing the flavours she grew up with in Mexico 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.

Spice it up even further with bottomless margaritas, just mention it as part of your enquiry.

Further Details / FAQ’s:

  • No two events are ever the same, so every workshop is tailored to your specific requirements. We’ll create a bespoke quotation based on your group size, location and any specific requests. Simply click the enquiry button at the top or bottom of this page, and we'll be in touch with a personalised proposal.

  • 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.

  • Table Space

    We’ll need plenty of table space for guests to get hands-on, plus a separate area for demonstrations and ingredient preparation.

    Electric Griddle

    We’ll need approval to use a small electric griddle indoors, used solely for cooking the freshly made tortillas. The griddle is fully electric, with no naked flame and no smoke produced during use (this is just used for the fresh tortillas).

    Microwave & Food Preparation

    The taco fillings are freshly prepared off-site in our kitchen and brought to the venue ready for the workshop. Given the practicalities of delivering a mobile cooking experience indoors, they simply need to be reheated on-site using a microwave.

    Guests will prepare the fresh salsas themselves during the masterclass as part of the experience.

    We ask that a microwave is available within the event space. If you don’t have one, just let us know in advance and we’ll bring one with us.

    Power & Water

    We’ll require access to suitable electrical sockets and running water for handwashing and cleaning.

    We’ll confirm the practical setup with you beforehand to make sure everything is ready to go.

  • This workshop is suitable for groups of up to 20 participants.
