History

Established in 2014.

I’ve always loved food and the memories it would give me. Almost like that of a fragrance would take you back to a certain place and time. I Remember when my Abuelita would make me arroz con gandules y pernil , which is yellow rice and pigeon peas with roast pork. Now whenever I make it, the aroma takes me back to when I was a little kid helping my grandmother mash all the herbs in the pilon to create her infamous Sofrito.  What amazing memories I have just by a simple aroma or even taste. So all of this and much more lead me to want to open a restaurant in which I did in Glendale, Queens . But due to unfortunate circumstances I had to close. Nonetheless here I’m doing it again. This time bigger than ever .We are working the hardest to create a place where you could come in and be received like family . With amazing People , Food , and of course Salsa. So that’s exactly what I’m creating. My journey is to unite this world one plate at a time.
