Spicing Up Beijing's Mexican Cuisine

Q Mex is diversifying its offerings with a new location in the Chinese capital. Xu Lin reports.

Q Mex is bringing more of the magic of Mexican cuisine to Beijing with a second location within walking distance of Liangmaqiao subway station. Q Mex Taqueria is offering new dishes made with ingredients imported from Mexico, chef and co-owner Marcus Medina says. The Mexican-American traveled throughout Mexico to learn all he could about the country's fare, he says. The new location's dishes differ from the maiden Q Mex Bar & Grill in Sanlitun, which focuses more on regional cuisine and borrows from his mother's cooking.
