After 25 years in luxury resort hospitality all over the world, including most recently as executive chef at Auckland’s Sofitel, Alfredo Romero is returning to his roots with Taco Amaiz. His eatery at 269 celebrates the food of his childhood in Sonora, Mexico, like authentic birria tacos filled with slow-cooked meats. Alfredo, who helped document Mexico’s national cuisine by travelling 4000+ km to preserve recipes passed down by word of mouth, produces pure Mexican soul food, just like back home.
