It was a pleasure to visit the new @santoremedio_uk in Marylebone last weekend. I've been friends with @edsondiazfuentes and Natalie Feary since they opened the first in Shoreditch 10 years ago. I invited along @randygarutti of @shakeshack, who, like many Americans, regretted the shortage of authentic Mexican restaurants in London. (That first restaurant received very positive reviews, but was short-lived because of problems with the landlord.) This time, I invited my oldest friend, @Corrine Bougaard of @union.dance, whom I first met 50 years ago when she danced with the then-Ballet Rambert, now @rambertdance. Anyways, we enjoyed a lunch that included Cured Seabass Ceviche fresh Guanabana juice & Habanero 16; Pork Belly Tacos crispy pork belly, salsa verde, sliced red onion & chicharron 13; Prawn Taco gluten-free beer & Tequila batter, grilled pineapple pico de gallo, Chipotle mayonnaise 14; Pork Belly Tacos crispy pork belly, salsa verde, sliced red onion & chicharron 13 Prawn Taco gluten-free beer & Tequila batter, grilled pineapple pico de gallo, Chipotle mayonnaise 14; and an excellent Dulce de Leche & Ancho Chili Tart crème fraîche 9.5. Very good it all was, too, though not quite so good for my low-carbs diet. Sadly, my Samsung S23 Ultra and I struggled a bit with the warm lighting, and my pictures are not great.) Congratulations and thanks to Natalie and Edson. #rvinesdines #mexicanfood.
