Our family recipes and love are the secret ingredients in our delicious Mexican food.

Back in 1970, my grandma used to live across the street from an industrial factory in Mexico City.

The smell of her cooking attracted a group of local workers to knock on her door, They wanted to buy her delicious smelling food!

So, she started cooking for them, until one day she had a line up outside her house! It was time to rent a space.

She opened “Fonda-cocina Economica” which translates to ‘cheap kitchen”, where for a set price, you could get a 3 course meal - dessert included! All her food was made from scratch with fresh local ingredients each day,

In 1985, La Cocina -‘the kitchen’ - was destroyed after the big earthquake.

Years later, we moved to Vancouver and I started cooking my grandma’s recipes-

People loved it, just like those workers back in Grandma’s day. Soon, Mi Casa- or my house- became the answer to people’s quest for Good Mexican Food.

I knew it was time to branch out- to not just cook for la familia, but for everyone in town! Which brings us to today….
