The London-born Mexican eatery has opened its 11th UK restaurant in Manchester’s Oxford Street after raising £3.4m from crowdfunding. Chilango’s newest site signifies a further leap in the company’s journey, which plans to open over 50 restaurants across the UK. The chain is the brainchild of Chicago-born Eric Partaker, and keen-traveller Dan Houghton; a pair of passionate entrepreneurs who had an idea and watched it explode. Partaker said: “We’ve been desperate to expand our brand across the UK for some time now, and Manchester was the natural move up into the north for us. “Manchester has a fantastic buzz and vibrancy, as does Chilango, so we think the brand and neighbourhood will work hand in hand to make this a great success. “We are very excited.”
