Cartel del Taco, Hawthorne
Details
Every day since opening their first Cartel del Taco in Hawthorne five years ago, co-owners Marco Ramirez and Erick Martinez have been asked the same question – “When are you opening for breakfast?” At long last, the wait is over. From Saturday August 30, the much-loved taqueria will officially serve Mexican-style breakfasts, and they’re doing it with all the flair, flavour and heart that Brisbane has come to know and love from the pair.
Sure, eggs Benedict has its place, but have you tried huevos rancheros? According to Marco, Brisbane diners have traditionally been creatures of habit when it comes to breakfast, which is why Cartel del Taco held off until now. “People are more willing to try new things these days – more open to experiencing what breakfast looks like in Mexico City,” he explains.
