Tacos and tequila from who? Celebrities jump on the action

Had enough of celebrity tequilas and other Mexican staples? Too bad, now Oscar de la Hoya and Mario Lopez are teaming up to promote the Casa Mexico tequila.

And Dua Lupa has decided to open a taqueria in Mexico City. La Dua, as the place is called, will only be open for five days during the artist’s stay and performances in the Mexican capital. The pop-up is taking place at Taqueria Los Caramelos.

The menu includes three tacos, broth and three drink options for 249 pesos (14 dollars). The three tacos are Radical Optimism Taco – caramel with cheese, Taco Houdini – chicharrón (pork rinds) and Taco Maria with arrachera. Surprisingly, the taqueria will not offer al pastor tacos, a CDMX specialty cooked on a vertical spit inspired by Lebanese immigrants. Dua Lipa is British with Lebanese ancestry. 

Only 800 people will be able to attend per day, starting on December 1, and people from all over Mexico will go to try the British singer’s tacos. Spots are already sold out. 

No word yet on whether she will be present at the La Dua pop-up shop in the Condesa neighborhood of Mexico City. 

As for the Casa Mexico tequilas, they offer blanco, reposado, añejo and cristalino. 

“The response to Casa México Tequila was overwhelming and caught the attention of fellow tequila connoisseur and actor Mario Lopez,” according to the tequila’s website. “Upon tasting Casa México Tequila, Mario immediately knew it was something special and joined the company as an investor and supporter. Soon after Mario’s long-time friend and boxing legend, Oscar De La Hoya, joined the team.” 

Lopez has received criticism for downplaying his Mexican heritage before and also for being pictured with President Donald Trump at several UFC events.
