Manchester's latest restaurant opening is a true love letter to Mexico. Madre, the ‘taqueria and mezcaleria’ that's been a huge hit in Liverpool since 2019, has finally landed in the city centre - and it's a beauty.
Opening its doors at the vibrant Kampus Development near the Gay Village and Piccadilly Train Station this Saturday, the 90-cover restaurant is looking to provide diners with an authentic taste of Mexico through classic dishes like tacos, pork carnitas, beef birria and fresh seafood cooked over a wood-fired grill.
It's been four years in the making for the team behind London's Breddos Tacos and Belzan restaurant in Liverpool, and draws inspiration from trips the team - which includes Chris Edwards, Nud Dudhia, Sam Grainger, Owain Williams and Chris Witney - have taken around Mexico over the past two decades.
