This Mexican Resort Debuts New Pop-Up Celebrating Authentic Mexican Tacos

Grand Velas Riviera Maya adds a new pop-up dining option to its already impressive list for the summer. Tacology is a culinary pop-up celebrating the bold, soulful traditions of the Mexican taco culture. Tacology is opening as part of the resort’s summer offerings and is included in the nightly rate. The new pop-up was created by Chef Nahum Velasco, creative gastronomic director of the resort.

On select evenings from 6 to 9 p.m., Tacology turns the resort’s garden into a lively, open-air spot to gather and see the art of the taco takes center stage. Guests can enjoy a curated selection of Mexico’s most beloved taco creation, including a slow-marinated, spit-roasted al pastor with a touch of golden pineapple or the tender suadero and savory beef.

Each will be prepared with authentic technique and fresh ingredients. Tacos will include classic ingredients that make Mexican street food the culinary tradition it is, like fragrant cilantro, chopped white onion and a molcajete-style salsa.

For dessert, guests will be treated to warm, crispy churros, the perfect ending to the perfect Mexican meal. Throughout the night, the scent of trompo will fill the air as the sound of a live guitar sets the mood, evoking the spirit of a Mexican summer evening.

Don’t worry about making a reservation, simply follow the sound of the music, pull up a chair and enjoy the food and lively atmosphere at your leisure.
