OUR APPROACH
THE MILL
Out of love for technique, tradition and discipline, Jorge makes tortillas, tamales and other corn delicacies on his own mill — self-built, with the support of Rolls-Royce engineers. The mill is a work of art and the heart of Taco Kween.
The heirloom corn arrives whole. It is cooked with lime, rested overnight, and ground wet on the morning. That step is called nixtamal, and it is what gives a tortilla its smell, its warmth, and the taste people recognise even when they have never been to Mexico.
Cooking since 2008.
Every salsa, every marinade, every mole is made for the event it belongs to. Some of it takes days.
That is simply how long it takes.

THE OFFER
THREE WAYS TO EAT WELL
One kitchen.
Tamales — from €12 per person
A tamal is a whole meal wrapped in a leaf: masa, filling, corn husk or banana leaf, steamed slow. They arrive hot and ready to serve, meat or vegan, always gluten-free, with a chips & salsa bar beside them. Set up takes minutes and 20 to 600 guests eat well within the hour.
Classics — from €40 per person
Live taco bar, finger food reception, tamales bar for the big rooms. The format that fills a party: plates get refilled, people stand, talk with their mouths full and come back for thirds. For 20 to 200+ guests.
Deluxe — from €148 per person
The tasting menu, with the mill at its centre: handmade nixtamal tortillas, premium cuts, lobster, venison, artisanal mole. Five to six courses, plated and served, for 8 to 40 guests around one table.
Same philosophy. Three different formats.
