Cantina del Sol Pop-Up
An eatery in Potts Point becomes a temporary portal into the sounds, flavours and decor of Mexico.
Overview
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.
From Friday to Sunday you'll be able to grab lunch between 12.30-3.30 pm and dinner between 5.30-9.30 pm.
Update 17 Oct: The fiesta continues the Cantina del Sol pop-up has been extended to the last weekend of October.
