If the name Hakim Ziyech makes you sit up, then you are probably a football fan (or at least a Chelsea supporter). We’re here to tell you that he’s launching a taco restaurant in Shoreditch. That’s right, joining an extremely niche list of famous footballer restaurant owners, Hakim (along with three other co-founders, including two behind Mayfair’s Inca London) are bringing not-so-traditional tacos to East London.
The intimate restaurant (seating is on a first-come, first-served basis) is where you’ll be encouraged to rethink the taco, which come with all manner of toppings, including scrambled eggs and sautéed shrimp, and with a focus on quality ingredients.
There’ll be takeaway items, and a breakfast menu as well as an all-day menu, where you could indulge in the following.
- Crunchy sourdough tortilla with melted mozzarella cheese, scrambled eggs, pico de gallo, caramelised onion, chilli jam, bacon and hash browns
- Poke taco with marinated salmon, teriyaki sauce and pickled cucumbers
- Pulled beef taco with chipotle chilli sacue and pickled jalapeños
- Aubergine achiote taco with pickled cabbage
- Crispy corn tortilla with creamy mascarpone mousse, roasted caramelised banana and Nutella
They’re at pains to point out that vegans and vegetarians will be well-catered for, with Mexican delicacy huitlacoche making an appearance in the ingredients.
And whether it becomes a place for football star-spotting or not is mere speculation at this stage.
