Meet the team behind Nottingham's Mexican street food with a twist

Checking out street food markets or pop-ups can be one of the best ways to find the newest, up-and-coming food businesses in the city. Some of Nottingham's most beloved foodie favourites are, or were, street food spots such as Hip Hop Food Shop or Slice and Brew.

The couple started experimenting with food during the lockdown and creating their own pickles. It was here that they got the idea to start Carolina's Chilli. She added: "The other big niche was that there weren't a lot of street food traders that were doing the vegan and gluten-free thing. We love going out and eating street food but I'd go to one stall and Mark would end up with just chips because he is coeliac."

"We don't do it that spicy because we tried and tested it when we started. We took it down a couple of notches because we want people to come back to us. We don't want people to go, oh my goodness that was too hot never going there again," Angela said. "At nine o clock in the morning, you don't want to eat chilli or nachos so we came up with breakfast quesadillas. It's scrambled tofu, melted cheese, 'bacon' bits which are marinated soya and Mexican beans which really took off," She said.
