The sun is shining, the weather is getting warmer, and suddenly everything tastes better with a cold drink in hand. ☀️🍹
Sydney, we're officially entering our favourite time of the year! Longer days, warmer afternoons, sunny weekends, and the perfect excuse to get together with your favourite people at Nu'u.
And while we love a classic margarita, sometimes the weather calls for something a little punchier, try our new cantaritos, made the OG way with Jose Cuervo Tequila Australia Tradicional Tequila 😍

Let's walk you through our Jose Cuervo Tequila Australia cantaritos, because there's a lot to love about what goes into these little clay cups.
We make our chamoy in-house and it's thick enough to stay on the rim so you can get a little with every sip. You'll be rotating that cup right until the end!
We add the absolute champ Jose Cuervo Tradicional, grapefruit soda, citrus and a little of agave nectar, there's a reason every single person that tries a cantarito goes for a round 2.
Next time you're at Nu'u, give your usual marg a night off. Try a cantarito and tell us which one wins.

A day in my life as a chef-owner, running the kitchen on my own..

When we first made this dish I thought: “I’m making a dish most Australians have never heard of”. Deeply rooted in our traditions but with a refreshing twist, Diana showed me this idea of pairing it with Jerusalem artichoke for texture and we both agreed the taste reminded us of roasted agave worm, something so Oaxacan in such a simple ingredient? Mind blown. That’s how we got one of our favourite dishes and although it has evolved with time it’s definitely still my favourite.

All I want this spring is tacos! 🌮🌸 And you know what’s even better than Mexican for dinner? Mexican with your favourite person beside you. ❤️

When we say made in house, we really mean it. 🌽🔥
The marinades. The salsas. The mole. The guac. The tortillas. The slow-cooked meats.
The chopping, blending, roasting, pressing, stirring… and the hours and hours of prep you never see.
There’s a lot of work behind what eventually looks like one simple plate.
This is real food, made from scratch, by us. 🤎
And yes… 100% gluten free. Always.

Rule number one: you eat it with your hands.
Pick it up. Both hands, preferably.
Give it a little squeeze so everything settles into place. Don’t be scared if some salsa starts running down the side. That’s part of it...then go in for the bite.
You want a little bit of everything at once: the crispy corn masa, the creamy guac, the pork belly and that spicy salsa. Soft, crunchy, rich, spicy, fresh, all in one very loaded mouthful.
Will it get messy? Probably.
Will you need a napkin? Absolutely.
Should you try it anyway? Siiiii

Three years of Nu’u. Three years of sharing a little piece of how we grew up eating. 🇲🇽
“I didn’t know Mexican food could taste like this” will forever be one of our favourite things to hear.
Come hungry. We’ll look after you. ❤️
