THE TACOS

 

THE CRISPY CHEESE SHELL

The bit nobody else does. Cheese griddled straight onto the tortilla until the edge goes lacy and crisp, then folded around the good stuff. It is on every taco we make.

WE RECOMMEND

TWO TACOS AND SOMETHING FOR THE TABLE. Three if youโ€™re proper hungry.

Coriander and lime go on everything. Hate coriander? Say so and we will leave it off.
