Lucía grew up behind her aunt's taco stand in Puebla. She came to Madrid to study, missed the food, and started cooking it for her flatmates. Then for their friends. Then for a queue.
The corn comes from Oaxaca and is ground here. The trompo turns from one o'clock. The music is too loud, and that's on purpose.
