TACOS– Los Chinitos

We’re a tribute to the taquerías of Mexico City. No Tex-Mex, but with a subtle “Chinitos” twist.

It didn’t start with a business plan

It all began in Mexico’s capital, Ciudad de México. On a Monday lunchtime at the Mercado de La Merced. With three tacos al pastor each. The very first bite won us over so completely that we knew we had to share it with you.

In this city they called us CHINITOS

In Mexico, people with East Asian features are often jokingly called “chinitos”. It isn’t meant as an insult but as friendly teasing — almost a sign of belonging. Chinito became “compa”, and “compa” became “hermano”.

Travelling through Mexico we didn’t just learn a huge amount about tacos — we were welcomed with open arms everywhere we went, and that has shaped us to this day. It’s exactly this warmth we want to pass on to you, in the form of our tacos.
