Who we are

El Jardín is a Latin American pop-up rooted in tradition and reimagined for today. Our tapas-style menu is inspired by how we eat back home—gathered around the table, sharing food, laughter, and memories.

Our resident chef, born in Colombia and raised in the UK, blends fine dining techniques with the bold spirit of Latin street food. His cooking honours tradition while reinterpreting it with creativity, authenticity, and style—always full of flavour and heart.

After seventeen years in the IT world, he took a leap of faith into hospitality, learning the craft in several London kitchens before deciding to go solo. From that journey, El Jardín was born—a space to celebrate and reimagine Latin American dishes for a new audience.

From slow-cooked beef in our Mexican-inspired tacos to pickled vegetables and Cali-style street hot dogs, everything we make is rooted in care, culture, and deep respect for where we come from. This is our garden—growing new ideas from deep roots. Pull up a seat, grab a plate, and be part of the story.
