London, May 2025; Authentic Mexican food brand, Gran Luchito, is excited to announce that it will be hosting its first consumer experience – an exclusive dining event landing in London, ‘La Taquiza’ (aka a Mexican taco party). In pursuit of its mission to make tacos famous by bringing real Mexican food to dinner tables across the UK, The Shoreditch Treehouse will be transformed for one night only to celebrate Cinco de Mayo and kick off the early May Bank Holiday weekend. The evening will bring one of Mexico’s biggest calendar events to the heart of London, combining Gran Luchito’s fighting spirit (Gran Luchito translated means ‘Great Little Fighter’) with delicious food and drink. Tickets are priced at £10, with all ticket proceeds going to The Felix Project to support the charity’s efforts in fighting food waste in London.
Gran Luchito invites ‘adventurous foodies’ to honour and recognise the food, culture and community which defines the brand’s origins. La Taquiza will be hosted by chef and food writer Sophie Wyburd, who will be serving up a vibrant muti-course taco menu that she has curated alongside Gran Luchito’s head chef and Mexican cuisine connoisseur, Susana Villasuso. Guests can enjoy the bold flavours of authentic Mexican cuisine that Gran Luchito offers, incorporating a selection of its range of sauces, seasonings, salsas, wraps and tortilla chips. Channel 4’s drinks expert, Pritesh Mody, has also put together a special handcrafted Mexican cocktail menu for the evening, and will be in attendance to demonstrate how to elevate the traditional margarita using Gran Luchito’s product range. Throughout the evening, guests will hear from Sophie and Pritesh about how to host authentic taco nights at home, with tips and tricks on maximising flavour with limited time.
The consumer event reflects Gran Luchito’s promise to provide real Mexican food which can be made easily at home, and is part of the brand’s wider efforts to bring accessible Mexican meal experiences to cooks of all levels. Gran Luchito’s investment in such marketing efforts precedes upcoming new product development which is set to land on supermarket shelves later this year.
Paul Vita, Managing Director at Gran Luchito comments: “Bringing the vibrant spirit of Mexico to the heart of London, our ‘La Taquiza’ supper club is more than a meal, it’s a celebration. We’re excited to be hosting this with both Sophie and Pritesh, whose passions and creativity bring an unforgettable twist to traditional flavours within the food and drink they create. As our first consumer event, we are looking forward to connecting with our audience in a new way, and hope to inspire them to recreate the bold flavours of Mexico at home, and show them what truly authentic Mexican cuisine should taste like.”
