New opening hours are in. šŸŒ®šŸ”„

From now until the launch of our Summer Menu, it will be Este Cuate Presents served every opening day.

That means the current menu stays live all week: tacos, quesadillas, loaded flavours, house salsas, and everything thatā€™s been building momentum in the kitchen.

Think of this as the final chapter before the next season arrives.

Over the next month or so weā€™ll be developing, testing, tasting and tuning a brand new Summer Menu through the Live Test Kitchen, ready to bring fresh energy, new ideas and serious flavour for the warmer months.

So if youā€™ve been meaning to come through, nowā€™s the time to catch the current wave before the next one lands.

Thank you to everyone backing the journey so far. Leeds, weā€™re only warming up.

Only the curious taste more.

Last time this spike took 5 months to fill.
This one took 4.

No big campaign.
No paid tricks.
No shouting into the void.

Just showing up.
Cooking.
Learning.
Improving.
Letting word travel the old-fashioned wayā€¦ person to person.

Marketing may have felt slow, but organic growth has its own flavour. It moves quietly, then suddenly you notice the room getting fuller.

Every receipt in this spike is somebody who chose to try us.
Some came back.
Some brought friends.
Some became part of the story.

Progress doesnā€™t always arrive with fireworks.
Sometimes it sounds like paper stacking higher.

Keep moving forward.

Only the curious taste more. šŸŒ®šŸ”„

Rain doesnā€™t stop flavour. It seasons it. šŸŒ§šŸ”„

While most people run for cover, we lean into the smokeā€¦ because thatā€™s where the magic lives. Cooking on the jerk pan in the rain isnā€™t madness ā€” itā€™s commitment to the craft. Itā€™s chasing that deep, fire-kissed flavour that doesnā€™t come from shortcuts or stovetops, but from patience, heat, and a little bit of chaos.

Every drop that hits the coals, every flare of smoke, every second spent standing in itā€¦ thatā€™s all part of the story weā€™re serving.

At Este Cuate, we donā€™t wait for perfect conditions.We cook for perfect flavour.

Rain or shine ā€” the fire stays on. šŸ”„

Most kitchens call it a brigade.

Ranks. Stations. Orders.

But when we first took these photos, something felt different.

Different backgrounds.
Different journeys.
Different hands on the fire.

Not a brigade.

An ensemble.

Like a band finding its rhythm for the first timeā€¦
listening, responding, building something together.

Every taco, every salsa, every service carries a little piece of that moment.

This is the team behind Este Cuate.

Mi cocina es tu cocina. šŸŒ®šŸ”„

Menu revealā€¦ finally. šŸŒ®šŸ“œ

After 7 months of operating like a taco speakeasy, people turning up with zero idea what was on the menuā€¦

I realised something today.

I never actually posted it.

So here it is.
The official Este Cuate menu.

If youā€™ve already been, you probably know your order.
If you havenā€™tā€¦ welcome to the flavour tour.

Word of mouth got us this far.
Now you can actually see what youā€™re coming for. šŸ˜…šŸ”„

Turns out my marketing strategy wasā€¦accidental mystery. šŸŒ®šŸ•µļøā€ā™‚ļø

For 7 months I never actually posted the menu online.
Not once. Not a single post.

People just kept turning up like it was some underground taco speakeasy.

Word of mouth clearly did the heavy liftingā€¦
Este Cuate: come curious, leave full. šŸ˜…

6 chiles. šŸŒ¶ļø

In this series Iā€™m breaking down the 6 chiles Iā€™m currently using inside the kitchen and explaining what each one brings to Mexican cooking.

Flavour. Heat. Aroma. Technique.

If you enjoy learning about real Mexican ingredients and how to use them, Iā€™ve started a private WhatsApp group called The SazĆ³n Circle where I share recipes, tips, and things Iā€™m working on in the kitchen.

If you want to join, comment ā€œSAZƓNā€ and Iā€™ll send you the invite.

Only For The Curiousā€¦

I donā€™t driveā€¦ so Este Cuate runs on Uber. šŸš•

No delivery vans.No chef in a white van.Just me, a bag of chiles, and another Uber driver asking:

ā€œMateā€¦ what are you cooking today?ā€ šŸŒ¶ļø

Somehow every trip turns into a conversation about tacos, Mexico City, marinades, and why the car suddenly smells like Al Pastor dreams.

At this point Iā€™m not sure if Iā€™m building a street food brand or a mobile taco think tank across the Uber network of the UK.

But honestlyā€¦ some of the best conversations about food, life, and business have happened in the back seat on the way to cook.

So if you ever get an Uber that smells like toasted chiles and optimismā€¦

It might just be Este Cuate on tour.
