VITAMINA T

Even if you haven’t heard of vitamina T, you’ve probably enjoyed it. The unofficial Mexican food group that celebrates tacos, tortas, tamales, and more are emblematic of the spirit of Mexican street food: ever-changing and always satisfying. For the launch of VITAMINA T at MOFAD, chef Fermín Núñez and Masienda founder Jorge Gaviria will take us on a journey through the streets of Mexico to show us how we can capture some of the magic of this cuisine in our home kitchens. Explore the beautiful sights and bold flavors of a late-night taqueria, a charcoal-burning clay comal teeming with hoja-santa-wrapped tetelas, and all of the tamales, all of the time.

Featuring tacos from Santo Taco and tequila drinks from Via Carota Craft Cocktails, this celebration is sure to please!
