LA MEXICANA LANDS AT MANLY WHARF FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME, BRINGING A VIBRANT CELEBRATION OF MEXICAN FLAVOUR, CULTURE & COLOUR, HARBOURSIDE!
At the heart of LA MEXICANA is Michelin Guide-recommended Mexico City taqueria EL VILSITO, one of the world’s most talked about taco institutions, making its Australian debut by the Sydney waterfront.
EL VILSITO’s chefs will travel from Mexico City to Manly Wharf, transforming the precinct into a live taqueria and serving their legendary tacos exactly as they are in CDMX… A pure expression of Mexican street food, delivered by the chefs behind one of the world’s most celebrated taquerias.
Made globally iconic by Netflix’s Taco Chronicles, EL VILSITO is renowned for its cult status ‘Tacos Al Pastor’ – marinated pork slow-cooked on a vertical spit, carved fresh and served hot on corn tortillas. Bold street flavours, crafted with Michelin-recommended mastery.
