Hi friends!

Apologies for the non-taco content, but I wanted to share a few recent pieces of my artwork and be vulnerable for a sec. I have been SO grateful for the overwhelming support my art has received in the past couple of months since I began sharing. Posting my art for the world to see has been a new and scary process, but the warm response has meant the world to me!

If I'm honest, the food truck side of things has been quieter than expected, so I have decided to open a small round of art commissions to help carry us into the Christmas season. 🎨

For the first four or five people who reach out, I am offering original custom A4 acrylic paintings on paper for £100.

These pieces are created from your photos and direction, inspired by the charm and character of places that mean something special. Perfect for someone who adores their local pub, cherishes a historic home, or wants a local landmark captured forever. I love painting meaningful places and turning them into gifts that feel personal and heartfelt.

You will guide the entire process with me, from approving the initial sketch to giving as much creative direction as you'd like, and enjoying sneak peeks as the painting comes to life.

If you'd prefer canvas, board, framing and mounting, or a larger size, those are all available too at an adjusted price. Just ask!

If you're interested, just send me a message. If you know someone else who might be, please feel free to share this post with them. I would love to create something beautiful for you or someone you love this Christmas!

Thanks for your support of all we do 💖

With the food truck season slowing down a bit, we had the room in our schedule to spread the cheer of good Mexican food around town without the hassle, effort, and expense of taking the trailer out as well. We wanted to provide an opportunity for those that wanted to sample our wares (or get a taste without having to drive to Clare/Cavendish/Stansfield to get it!) so we are offering an extended menu for takeaway/delivery this weekend on a limited basis. This includes a 25% price cut on our most popular menu items! (Tacos and sides)

We can accept a maximum of TEN order slots this weekend--three of which are already booked--and will include a free order of tortilla crisps and salsa with each of them!

You may choose between collection on the Clements side of town at the day/time of your choosing Thursday-Saturday this week OR free delivery to your address in Haverhill on Saturday only for orders of at least £30. (Sorry, no deliveries outside of Haverhill this time around!)

This menu is available by preorder only so we can plan around other commitments; please try to order ASAP as we can only service so many orders of this expanded menu this weekend.
If this is successful and we fill all 10 slots this week, we'll do it again SOON! Maybe once a month we can switch up the menu a bit and do some exciting off-menu things like seafood tacos? 😋 Always open to your suggestions so let me know what Mexican cravings we can help you sort out.

The #1 question about our business I get from other people in town is 'when are you coming back to Haverhill?!' and this is the #1 way you can help make that happen, so thank you in advance for your support! 🙏

Just yesterday we celebrated 2 years of TLG, and today we celebrate 3 years of marriage!

Thank you Ed for always supporting my dreams and encouraging me to be my best self. 💖 Cheers to another year of adventure on the books. There's nobody I would rather spend it with. 🥂

Man, time flies when you're having fun!

It was 2 years ago today that we registered our company with little more than a hope, some dreams, and a burning love of tacos ❤️‍🔥 We never could have imagined where we are now!

We celebrated the milestone with a buffet of breakfast tacos and discussed how excited we are to see what our third year will bring us. There are so many exciting things in the works that I can't wait to share with you all. In the meantime, thanks for letting us share this journey and supporting us along the way!

Come out this weekend and help us party it up. Lots of delicious surprises in store for our exciting weekend ahead celebrating two of our fav holidays:

Saturday 1/11 🏵💀 5-8 -

Smoky, savoury, vibrant and fresh--there is a reason our chicken tinga has been a mainstay on our menu since day 1! The beef and pork always hog the spotlight, but our tinga has its own special magic ✨️ but rumour has it there may be some menu changes afoot for spooky season... 👀

Come get some chicken tinga tacos this weekend while you can!!!

Friday 24 October - from 5-8
Saturday 25 October - from 5-8

Autumn is definitely upon us 🍂 welcome, spooky season! 🎃

It's my fav time of year, even if it means the cold long nights of winter follow close behind. It means the final harvest, too, which feels appropriate to celebrate on the heels of this week's harvest moon 🎑

We are excited to celebrate the season with .farm gorgeous naturally grown squash. No pesticides or chemical fertilisers, just wholesome ecology-forward growing practices and lots of loving care. 🌱

We roast them in warming Mexican spices, then add a touch of vegan chipotle mayo, chopped coriander, shredded cabbage, and some crumbled cheese. (Want it vegan? We will happily leave the cheese off!) Maybe even request a drizzle of our lovely salsa macha if you're feeling adventurous 🤩🤤

Looking forward to sharing these with you all through the autumn! 🧡

Birria had its little moment in the sun this weekend with all this awful weather 🌬 Savoury, rich, and stewy birria is at its absolute best when it's raining sideways and you need to warm your bones.

Thanks to everyone who came out despite the horrid conditions. The weather is the only thing about this weekend that wasn't absolutely lovely. It's always a pleasure serving you! 💖

SQUASH IS BACK! 🥳

That means this is the last weekend for nopales for a while. The squash harvest is officially in and our friends at .farm have a beautiful haul for us! So excited.

This weekend we will be clearing out the last of our cactus 🌵 tacos in stock and bringing out the first of our roasted squash, so come enjoy our temporarily expanded menu as we ease into the season! 🎃 Come help us bid adieu properly.

Our nopales taco consists of a bed of guac smeared on fresh and fragrant yellow corn tortillas, tender strips of prickly pear cactus sauteed in aromatics, topped with queso fresco and our homemade salsa macha. It's vegetal and refreshing, but still hearty and satisfying.

If you've never had salsa macha, it's almost like the Mexican answer to Szechuan chilli oil. It's an infused oil, chunky and loaded with dried chillis, garlic, seasonings, a generous helping of sesame seeds and golden fried peanuts. So much flavour and deliciousness get packed into this oil! 🌶🧄🥜

Come and get it this weekend before it's gone.

Where to find us:

Friday 3/10 - 5-8PM
Saturday 4/10 - 5-8PM

Behind the scenes, I've been perfecting my chorizo mexicano recipe 😋 Pretty happy with my latest batch and it's our secret menu offering du jour. Make it to today while we are here to get a taste. 🌮 Open til 5:30! Very limited stock.

We all know and love the cured Spanish counterpart loaded with garlic and paprika, but the stuff I grew up on is a little different. Most commonly, it's a very fine pork mince seasoned with a variety of Mexican chillis and vinegar for a tangy savoury bite with a little spice, a little smoke, and a nice moist texture. Crumbly, meaty, perfect little flavour bomb 💣

Delicious and perfect as-is with just a little onion, coriander, and squeeze of 🍋‍🟩 lime but feel free to request some salsa verde (or if you like it hot, our Scotch bonnet salsa roja)! 🌶
