OUR STORY
Where Mexican passion meets Dutch spirit
Some stories are written in the stars, others unfold when you least expect them—like a good taco accompanied by a cold beer. And ours? Well, it’s a bit of both.
Once upon a time, a Dutch caballero set foot in Ireland, thinking he was just there for a little adventure and some lessons in hospitality. But what he found wasn’t just a cozy pub—it was a feeling of belonging, a place that felt like home, no matter where you’re from.
Back in The Hague, he took his experience and love for flavors to the famous Popocatepetl Mexican restaurant, and that’s where fate stepped in. From managing one of the best Mexican spots in town to owning the best Irish pub in the world, destiny had big plans.
Then one evening, in the warmth of O'Casey’s Irish Pub, he met a Mexican señorita—a woman whose heart carried the fiery spirit of Mexico. A land where love runs deep, faith is unshakable, and life is celebrated with every beat.
Two worlds, two hearts, and one dream: to create a place where authentic Mexican flavors could meet the spirit of Irish hospitality—a fusion of cultures, flavors, and stories that brought everyone together.
And what’s a true Mexican experience without Frida? That’s why we’ve teamed up with Frida in The Hague, a kitchen that lives and breathes the essence of Mexico. Together, we bring you a perfect fusion of flavors, a taste of Mexico’s soul in every bite.
