3 Ways We Honour Local Mexican Cuisine in Nairobi

Amid the hustle and bustle of modern life, nothing reminds us to slow down and enjoy quality time with our loved ones like a delicious meal. When we decide what’s on the menu, Mexican food is always at the top of our list! 

With its rich, bold flavours and warm communal vibe, each meal is both an adventure and a celebration. However, local Mexican cuisine offers so much more than just mouth-watering food: it is a spirited, lovingly preserved, cultural heritage that brings people together in the most beautiful way.

At Si Senor, we’ve created a joyful and authentic Mexican dining experience with traditional recipes, refreshing cocktails, a dash of playfulness, and the sweetness of sharing with others. 

A true Mexican culinary experience extends beyond the food and honours the culture and traditions surrounding this celebrated cuisine. At Si Senor, every detail, from the inviting ambience to the warm hospitality, reflects a deep respect for Mexican heritage and our firmly-rooted family values.

At Nairobi Street Kitchen, we extend this same sense of hospitality to any guest who walks through our doors.Step foot into our communal, cheery space and you will be greeted by a dynamic, warm-hearted team that provides attentive service, fostering the sense of community and happiness that is so treasured in Mexican (and Kenyan!) culture.

    Local Mexican cuisine isn’t just about traditional recipes. It celebrates family values and community impact. Our space was designed and brought to life by incredible Kenyan creatives and we source our fresh ingredients locally to support our community.This focus on sustainability extends beyond the kitchen to our eco-friendly practice of minimising food waste and is a testament to the indomitable Mexican spirit of deeply treasuring the world we live in, human connection, and community.
  • Inspired, Fresh, and Authentic Mexican Dishes
    Yes, you can find authentic local Mexican cuisine in Nairobi! As we do in all our dining spaces, Si Senor’s menu has been crafted with the utmost respect for tradition and culture.

Some of the key signature aspects of traditional Mexican cuisine in our menu include: 

  • Fresh and healthy locally sourced ingredients (there are no store-bought jars here!) 
  • Traditional, imported spices bring the bold taste of Mexico right to your doorstep.
  • Behind our counter, skilled chefs prepare homemade corn tacos – the perfect vessel for our delicious fillings.
  • Traditional Mexican dishes use crumbly white cheeses such as queso fresco or cotija instead of yellow cheeses and we’ve incorporated this throughout the menu.
