Savour the flavours of Mexico with an incredible selection of street food and sweet treats, including sopes, tamales, churros, pan dulce, and hot chocolate, plus Mexican ingredients to take home.
If you’re in the mood to sit down and relax, El Pastor will be open throughout the weekend for tacos, tostadas, and festive margaritas made with heirloom Mexican maize and traditional recipes.
