Tacos, Beer and Frida Kahlo Combine for New Mexican Pop-Up

If you’re a fan of all things Mexican, you might want to visit the Cantina del Sol pop-up. For just one weekend, Villa Bar & Kitchen in Potts Point will be transformed into a Mexican cantina by interior designer Ally Bercich, inspired by the vibrant artwork of artist Frida Kahlo and the Mexican spiritual holiday Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead).

There will be Sol beers, colourful cocktails decorated with fresh fruit and authentic Mexican cuisine. Fans of roaming taqueria-on-wheels Al Carbon will be happy to learn they will be catering the event, treating guests to their sharp, spicy street food. And, really, who can resist a charcoal barbecue?

DJs, musicians and other creative types will keep the crowd entertained, including Balmain independent artist Skullavera whose hand-crafted ceramic skulls — also inspired by dia de los muertos — are spookily awesome.

The Cantina del Sol is open on the October long weekend, from October 4-6, at the Villa Kitchen and Bar, 1 Kellett Street, Potts Point. You'll be able to grab lunch between 12.30-3.30pm and dinner between 5.30-9.30 pm.
