Cariñito Tacos at The Lincoln

Cariñito Tacos is a taqueria in Mexico City that gives its tacos such deliciously surprising Southeast Asian twists, spiking its guacamole with nahm jim, for example, or offering an Isaan-inspired pork belly taco finished with ground rice, chicharron, and mint, that it has been recognised by the Michelin guide (“This is certainly not your tia's taqueria”) and has spawned a New York City pop-up.

For three nights this Festival, Cariñito Tacos (aka ‘a little love’ Tacos) takes up residence at The Lincoln Arms in Carlton. Keeping with its CDMX and NYC roots, the space will be small, casual and will be full of energy. They’ll be smashing out a short and punchy menu, with five tacos and a couple of sides, keeping it fast-paced and tasty, and just to keep things really feisty, Long Story Short, the Mexico City cocktail bar, will also be joining the party.

These are short, fast, fun sittings, so your table is not yours for the night, but you're welcome to linger in the Lincoln bar and soak up the atmosphere (and perhaps even another drink) after you've enjoyed your tacos.
