We are trying to create something that pulls people forward in the way they see “Mexican Food.” We hope to shine some light on all the wild flavors that encompass latin food as a whole. -Chef Aaron Ware

The Beginning
1989
Dora Juarez was a mother to five, a grandmother to 13, a wife to one, and a friend to everyone. In 1989 she opened the best Mexican Restaurant on the planet in Harlingen Texas. She was the cook, the hostess, the server…and the entertainer. After the entire restaurant was sat and had food on their tables, she would begin playing old hymns on an organ set at the entrance of the restaurant. From the made-from-scratch tortillas to the warm greetings, Dora created a special space unlike anything that has ever, or will ever be seen again.
As one of her grandson’s, I hope to take the spirit of hospitality from Dora’s Cafe, and marry it with everything the world loves about latin food.
