The business will open its first London site this summer, marking the start of its UK expansion as Kuvi Hospitality progresses its rollout of the brand.
The opening follows Kuvi Hospitality securing exclusive franchise and development rights for Coyo Taco across the UK, Ireland and GCC, with plans now underway to scale the brand to more than 50 locations across UK and Ireland.
The first site, located in Orchard Place, SW1, will launch in summer 2026, with a further two UK locations planned before the end of the year as the rollout begins.
Founded in Miami’s Wynwood district in 2016, Coyo Taco has built a strong following across the US and international markets.
Its operating model includes daily, from-scratch preparation following the brands ‘todos es fresco’, or ‘everything fresh’ philosophy, including hand-pressed corn tortillas, made-to-order guacamole, responsibly sourced meats and seafood and a dual-format approach combining high-throughput dining with a late-night bar offer.
Shereen Ritchie, Group CEO, Kuvi Hospitality, said: “Coyo Taco is a true Miami institution, with a strong brand identity and passionate fan base built over a decade. It’s a privilege to be leading its introduction and expansion in the UK. We see a significant opportunity in premium, fresh and culturally relevant dining,” added Ritchie. “As consumer demand continues to shift towards freshness, bold flavours and experience-led formats, Coyo is the perfect product-market fit.”
