History

Established in 2006.

The idea for this concept started to develop in 2001. I was driven by a simple desire to help preserve a portion of my parents and families cultural heritage for future generations - a legacy if you will. I often reflect on the sacrifice my immigrant parents made in coming to this country - as many others have - to allow me the opportunity they had lost in their beloved Cuba. It is essential for me to keep alive the "ingredients " of my culture and spirit which make us all unique, thus contributing to the diversity that makes this wonderful country thrive. In 2006, I constructed and opened a small commercial kitchen at an industrial park in Murrieta, CA. we mostly did catering. Within a couple of months I opened the front reception area (6 tables) as a dining room. The word spread rapidly of our opening within the local business community, and through word-of-mouth we established a large following. In 2012 A loyal customer offered us a commercial space in Old Town Temecula.
