Cool beans!

Originating from the 1970’s, “cool beans” is an expression made famous by Latin American comedy duo Cheech and Chong who are credited as pioneers of the term and throughout the 1980s and 1990s the phrase continued to be used and is to this day, it roughly  means “okay” or “sounds good”.

Not just beans, but corn tortillas, enchiladas, tacos and guacamole are all dishes we associate with Mexico but, with foreign travel way down the agenda at the moment, the thought of tucking into these amazing flavours on a local level seemed a distant dream, until now…..

Rosie and her lateral thinking team at The Fig have decided to take up the challenge and today, Friday, February 5, sees the launch of The Fig Mexican lockdown pop up experience. The new and exciting menu is guaranteed to get your taste buds tingling, take a look at the choices below and treat yourself to something different this weekend.

Available every Friday and Saturday through lockdown from 5pm – 9pm, this will lift your spirits, give you something new and exciting to enjoy and if you fancy something a bit different this year, why not go ‘Acapulco’ for your special valentine’s meal in?

It’s easy to order, first choose your base, then choose your filling, then your toppings and sides. Desserts and drinks are also available including the traditional tequila sunrise, who couldn’t resist this?

You can place your orders by calling 07752 562448 from 3pm onwards on Fridays and Saturdays and when you settle up you can book your collection time, simples!

Quick thinking and an entrepreneurial flair are what’s needed in this very difficult climate, finding a gap in the market takes initiative and, if The Fig Mexican Lockdown pop up is half as good as The Fig has so far proved to be, (judging by many glowing reviews) you will not be disappointed. Go on, live dangerously, give it a try and as they say in Mexico, “buen provecho”
