“NICHOLAS’S PASSION FOR MEXICAN FOOD WAS SPARKED BY A STAGE AT RENOWNED MEXICO CITY RESTAURANT PUJOL”
Nicholas Fitzgerald’s passion for Mexican food was sparked by a stage at renowned Mexico City restaurant Pujol. His menu at Padre reflects the incredible street food culture he encountered on his travels around the country. Tacos are stuffed with the likes of ‘carne asada’ (beef steak), grilled shallots and habanero, or cauliflower ‘al pastor’ with coconut and Veracruz-style salsa macha, while quesadillas come filled with chorizo and smoky salsa negra with black garlic and chilli or ‘huitlacoche’, a truffle-like corn fungus. There are crispy churros con choco for afters, too – if you’ve room.
If you can’t make it to the Market, Padre is one of the dozens of traders whose produce is sold through Borough Market Online, which delivers direct to London addresses and, where available, by post to the rest of the UK.
