About us

Not a mashup. A reunion.

Zoco isn't two cuisines forced together for novelty. It's one story that happened to take a detour through the Atlantic — and we're the kitchen finishing it in Hyderabad.

What we believe

Three things we won't compromise on

The history is real

Spanish absorbed Arabic for 700 years under Moorish rule. Tacos al pastor were invented by Lebanese immigrants adapting shawarma in 1930s Puebla. We didn't invent this fusion — we're just cooking it properly.

Halal, fully

Every meat in our kitchen is halal-sourced, no exceptions. Not a "halal option" on a mixed menu — the whole kitchen runs this way.

Consistency over speed

Every dish is built from gram-level recipe cards. The shawarma tacos you order today should taste exactly like the ones you ordered last month.

Halal, in practice

A 100% halal kitchen, not a halal corner of one

Our meat suppliers are halal-certified. Our kitchen doesn't handle pork or beef. When you order from Zoco, every dish on the menu is available to you — no separate menu to navigate, no asking twice.

The team

Built by a small kitchen, on purpose

Zoco is run by a founding team small enough that the person who tastes your salsa today is the same person who'll taste it in a year. We're hiring the rest of that team right now — see open roles.
