We want to present Mexican cuisine as it is. Our culture is everywhere, especially at the dinner table, and always involves friends, family, business, music and romance.
OUR LOCATION
We are a proudly 100% Mexican, located in the heart of Georgetown. In the same way that this area has consistently proven its innovation and artistic movement, we want to bring this city a real taste of our culture, traditions and our way of seeing life.
OUR MISSION
We do not consider the authentic Mexican cuisine we serve here as just food, we consider it an art form. The traditional family recipes that we use are preserved in our kitchen as a bridge between our culture and our customers. The genuineness of our food works to remind us of the origin of our passions.
NUESTRAS CALAVERAS
JOSE POSADA
Jose Guadalupe Posada: (1852–1913) was a Mexican cartoonist ilustrator and artist whose work has influenced many Latin American artists and cartoonists because of its satirical acuteness and political engagement. The calaveras ( animated skeletons) however are just Posada's most familiar legacy for time has placed him as a central figure in Mexican art. His life and works have become the foundation of Mexican printmaking and have vitally contributed to the formation of contemporary Mexican art. His genius for inspired illustration of the people's themes continue to make him one of Mexico's most popular artists. The modest hardworking illustrator not only addressed the issues of a society in conflict prior to the revolution, he perpetuated the role of art as an outlet for protest within Mexican society. Posada in his day acted as bridge to the rediscovery of the lost native forms for the Mexican artists who immediately followed his work. The two most important Mexican muralists Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco both point to their admiration of Posada as guiding inspirations for their careers as artists who saw their mission as moving the people forward through accessible art forms. Posada was regarded as the voice of the common man and helped to solidify art as a means to communicate the public's unhappiness and skepticism of the government. He used the practice of caricaturizing figures as skeletons to serve as a sort of satirical obituary. While he lampooned people of all classes, it was his rendering of the aristocrats, whom Díaz held in such high regard, that remains the most popular of Posada's vast catalog work.
The spirit of posadas, as his distinctive black and white engraved images have become known, continue to express a deep commitment to our shared humanity, drawing its inspiration from the great drama of life itself and the final chapters we all share with each other.
