About Us
Our Story
Our culinary adventure kicked off January 2024 with pop-up events at Xocolatte, a vibrant coffee shop in Bushwick, Brooklyn, where we proudly served our famous Mushroom Based, Vegan Friendly, Pozole Verde. As our passion for Mexican cuisine flourished, we confidently transitioned to Sabor a Mexico II, in the Upper East Side, enabling us to expand our menu, cater private parties, and organize dynamic events that showcase the richness of Mexican culinary traditions.
