I WANT TO IMPORT SAUCES AT POLAND THEY ARE FROM MEXICO..can you help me?? [30]
I am mexican and have been many times to Poland, (I also lived there for a few months). I will try to give you some advice on the mexican restaurants that I have been to in Poland:
- Tequila (Wroclaw Old Town): great decoration, menu options are good but taste is far away from real mexican or tex-mex food. Sometimes the decoration is more important because the locals have no idea how tastes real mexican dishes.
- Mexico Bar (Wroclaw Old Town): decoration is little bit cheap, including some masks that have nothing to do with Mexico. However, the corona candelabra they have is great. Food is great, especially the "pollo en mole", its not very expensive and is the closest to mexican food that I personally experience in Poland.
- Taco Mexicano (Krakow Old Town): location is good, place is big and they have good original beans, peanuts and nachos. The food is above average and have nice waitresses (this could be a plus also!).
- Pueblo (Lublin Old Town): cozy atmosphere, good location, they have tables in the cobbled streets of the old town, just like typical cafes from Paris. Food is still far from being really mexican, especially the enchiladas. Good prices, but service is not the best.
- Taco Factory (Warsaw Zloty Tarasy/ Krakow Galeria Krakowska): this is a fast food business, mainly serving tacos and burritos. Salsas are good here, real spicy and tasty like the ones in Mexico. Can't compare with a restaurant, but food is OK for the price you pay, however lacks of many typical dishes.
* Suggestions:I believe that if you offer real mexican tasty dishes (i.e. you could offer filled chiles "chiles rellenos" or carne asada, which I have never seen in Poland), good salsa, nice waitresses, and real mexican decoration with shiny colorful mosaics, real cactuses, talaverna dishes, etc. you could have more than average success. All of them lack of a good selection of Tequilas!! Usually they only have Cuervo, Sauza and the horrible Sierra! You could offer some nice Tradicional, Cazadores, Herradura, or Don Julio and 1800 for the high-roller customers.
You can buy Maseca in Germany, Spain and France. Some international supermarkets in Germany offer some corn flour from Venezuela for making "arepas", you could use it for corn tortillas as well (arepas are the venezuelan equivalent to mexican gorditas). The only "mexican food dealer" that I know is a company called SURIMEX and they are located in Hamburg. So far I know they import all kinds of products from La Costena, Dona Maria, Maseca, and so on. But the prices I guess are going to be expensive if you mind to make your business in Poland.
In Poland there are a couple of stores called Kuchnia Swiat (have only seen them in Galeria Krakowska and Zlotye Tarasy in Warsaw) where you can find mexican ingredients to sky-rocketed prices (i.e. a small can of chiles jalapenos La Costena for 4zl (16 pesos), same can costs you 6 pesos in a mexican supermarket).
Buena suerte!
