Coyoacan Social

Coyoacán Social is a proud Plate it Forward venue offering a range of elevated street food and traditional signature dishes transcending guests to the streets of Mexico. Founded by Shaun Christie-David, Coyoacán Social will be using the power of food to drive social change for both workers and local community members. 
 
The origin story behind Coyoacán Social was inspired by the relationship between Shaun and the connection he made with his now business partner and Head Chef Roman Cortes at a Day Of The Dead Festival.  

Shaun’s passion for creating social change and opportunities for those recovering from addiction and Roman’s experiences as a recovering addict became the catalyst of their bond. The venue has a mission to use the universal love language of food to create compassion between guests in South Eveleigh with locals in need in both Redfern and Mexico. Coyoacán Social also donates meals to the centre in Mexico where Roman took his first steps to recovery and those in the Greater Sydney area.  

The key menu highlights at Coyoacán Social will include the dish that is sweeping the globe – Birria Tacos, which are dipped in an overnight cooked beef compote and cooked “Jalisco Style” to honour Roman’s grandfather’s hometown. Another signature dish is the Cochinita Pibil which is typically from the South of Mexico and is served in a corn tortilla taco, topped with pickled onions and pineapple and habanero sauce. The Chicken Tinga is also set to be a flavourful crowd-pleaser with its smooth smoky- Chipotle favour and served in taqizas or on top of a tostada with fresh cream, cheese and lettuce. The venue will also have a large offering of traditional Mexican non-alcoholic beverages, healthy salad bowls and gluten-free alternatives. View the full menu here.
