Our Story
Familia
Our journey began in Cuba, where our family was shaped by the traditions, resilience, and warmth of our culture. Life in Cuba was not without its challenges, but those hardships taught us the value of perseverance and the strength of family. With dreams of a brighter future and the help of the most Incredibly generous friends and family, we embarked on a journey filled with uncertainty, leaving behind our lives to start a new one.
We eventually found our home in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a place that embraced us with its unique charm and vibrant community. Here, we decided to turn our passion for food and our rich Cuban heritage into something meaningful—not just for us, but for those around us.
This restaurant is a reflection of that journey. Every dish we prepare carries the flavors of our homeland and the spirit of the adversity we overcame to be here. It’s a celebration of where we come from and the life we’ve built in Santa Fe.
This business is our tribute to our roots, our perseverance, and our desire to bring a taste of home to every dish. Every recipe tells a story, every corner reflects love, and every customer becomes part of our extended family. This is how we share not just our food, but our passion for what defines us as a family and as Cubans.
Thank you for being part of a story that continues to unfold with each passing day.
