Welcome to Mexicorn: Bold Mexican Flavours with a Gut-Friendly, Allergen-Safe Twist
Founded with a deep love for vibrant Mexican cuisine and the healing power of fermentation, Mexicorn emerged to bring unforgettable, flavourful street food experiences to Folkestone, Kent, East Sussex, and South and East London.
Our Backstory & Who We Are:
Our story begins with our founder, Jen. After discovering the incredible benefits of fermented foods in combating her own food intolerances and improving gut health, Jen began experimenting in the kitchen. Drawing on a rich culinary background that spans from Northumberland to the Italian Dolomites, she started weaving her knowledge of fermentation into her absolute favourite cuisine: Mexican street food.
During her travels across the globe—both cooking and teaching kitesurfing!—Jen experienced firsthand how the joy of shared, vibrant food breaks down boundaries and unites communities. This inspired her core belief: great food and an openness to new experiences open the door to true cultural connection, and everyone deserves a seat at the table.
What We Cook & Our Specialities:
At Mexicorn, our mission is to create memorable dining experiences that highlight the diverse, punchy flavours of Mexico while prioritising health, wellness, and absolute dietary safety. We specialise in authentic Mexican dishes elevated by unique, gut-friendly ferments. Think fresh, vibrant tacos, slow-cooked fillings, zesty salsas, and fermented slaws that not only delight the palate but nourish the body. Every dish is a celebration of fresh ingredients, traditional Mexican techniques, and a wholesome, creative twist.

What Sets Us Apart?
It’s our unique combination of authentic Mexican joy and health-conscious cooking, but most importantly, it is our rigorous commitment to allergen safety.
Because Jen’s culinary journey was sparked by her own food intolerances, we understand exactly how stressful eating out can be for those with dietary restrictions. We are proud to safely cater to guests who are coeliac. We use specific, dedicated gluten-free equipment and maintain strict kitchen protocols to prevent cross-contamination. This means everyone can enjoy our bold Mexican flavours with absolute peace of mind.
Beyond our safe practices, we are a genuinely warm, friendly, and highly professional team that believes in the power of community. We don't just serve food; we create a welcoming, inclusive space for connection, ensuring every guest walks away with a full stomach and a smile.
