Feasts built
from memory.

Clay-pot birria. Mole negro. Saffron rice on hammered copper.
Your gathering deserves a kitchen with a story.

From the Grill

Elote the way your tío makes it.

Charred on iron, slicked with crema, dusted with chili tajín. Not a side dish — an event.

01
Mole negro being stirred in a deep clay cazuela, dark chocolate-brown sauce with rich sheen and dried chili aromatics

The Mother Sauce

Mole negro. 34 ingredients. Years in the making.

Coordinated months before your event. The kind that requires patience — and rewards it completely.

02
Long communal tables set outdoors under string lights with families gathered, platters of food being passed, warm golden evening light

The Tablescape

Long tables. Laughing families. Platters that keep coming.

We set the scene. Hammered copper, hand-thrown clay, linen the color of dried corn husks.

03
Tres leches cake soaking through its crumb, milk pooling at the edges of a slice, topped with fresh cream and a strawberry

The Sweet Close

Tres leches that soaks through the crumb.

Baked morning-of. Three milks slow-poured. The last thing they'll talk about leaving.
