‘Cockfight’ between restaurants in Madrid: the customer decides who wins this duel

The gastronomic fights return to Madrid. The chefs Fernando Carrasco and Julián Barros, from Mawey Taco Bar, and Roberto Martínez Foronda, creator of the concept market food Tripea, in the Vallehermoso market, duel this Sunday for the client to decide who is the winner of their tasty proposals.

This ‘taco fest’ gets right into it in the world of flavors and textures to offer the diner a new gastronomic experience that will be held from 8:00 p.m. at the Mawey premises in San Bernardo, 5.

It is a single day, during dinner hours, in which the chefs will offer original tacos. For 45 euros per person, this tasty ‘cockfight’ includes a welcome cocktail, six tacos per person and a dessert to share. Reserve through the Mawey website ([email protected]), in the reservations section of the Gran Vía restaurant, or by calling 91 878 52 01.

The Mawey boys compete with three new creations: chilorio taco of oxtail stewed with three chilies, pickled pico de gallo and cilantro; Angus picaña taco with chiltepin chili and cured cheddar cheese and Iberian feather taco with majorero cheese, sobrassada and morita chili sauce.

His opponent, Roberto, will measure strength and creative capacity with a cevichado taco of Baja California style prawns; another of grilled red tuna parpatana ‘enchipotlada’, green tomatillo and shisho creole and, finally, with a taco of lomo saltado and huancaína.

This curious dinner can be completed with the Mawey drinks menu, which brings together a wide variety of beers, micheladas, tequilas, mezcals and cocktails both traditional and self-created.

Fernando Carrasco and Julián Barrios recover in this way the gastronomic ‘cockfights’ while celebrating the success of their more informal line: The Mawey Cartelwhich offers burritos and has three branches in Galicia: in Vigo, Santiago de Compostela and A Coruña.
