It’s an enormous amount of food and for the first half of the meal I am quite certain we’re never going to finish. Ola studied Mexican street food to understand the basics and to form the foundation for his street food riffs, all fast and fabulous dishes. Like Cornish pasties for warmer climes, a way to keep your meat and two safe as you sweat away the day – and often heir to the same culinary ills.

Here is a quick description and cover image of book Death by Burrito: Mexican street food to die for written by Shay Ola which was published in 2014-7-7. Jose Cuervo Tradicional Tequila is the running theme in the six very different cocktails on offer, we tried the Pink Paloma an infusion of Tequila raspberries and Aperol charged with homemade vanilla salted grapefruit soda, the Turbo Chelada, a good one for the lads, tastes like Desperados beer only attacked with foam and finally the Death by Julep which certainly puts the rasp in your voice.
