From six new tacos to a South American take on New Zealand’s most famous dessert, there are fresh flavours everywhere on Mexico’s summer chalkboard.
Summer is coming! (Allegedly.) And when the temperature soars, there’s little we like more than to settle in for an afternoon of cervezas, margaritas and shared plates at Mexico. Their summer menu is bursting at the seams with new dishes, which we’ve helpfully itemised here so you know exactly what to look for when you next head in.
