La Puerta del Sol was created with the spirit of The Elotero, The Paletero, The everyday Cocinero…

For years, opening up my own restaurant was a dream; fueled by the fire to share something special with people. In 2020, the restaurant industry was devastated by the Pandemic. Lives were turned upside down in a matter of months. To this day, the restaurant industry has and will never be the same…

For better or for worse, this brought many issues to the forefront regarding the industry. At the forefront of these issues was and is exploitation… 

Exploitation of labor, resources, the Land, and just about everything else you could imagine. 

These foods are special to me. Its more than just “Food”. They are our relatives. They have taught me many things. The last thing I want to be a part of is the exploitation of these relatives and our culture…

Perhaps with time, I will discover a way to create a permanent “Healing” space to honor these relatives and share them with our community. For now, La Puerta del Sol honors the nomadic spirit of my being. 

The mission has always been to get these “foods” back into our people’s homes. The easiest way I can think of doing this is by creating products that everyone has access to. 

Our Ancestral Foods shouldn’t just be something that we can only afford on special occasions. These our our relatives and they belong in our homes, nurturing and healing our families on a daily basis… 

It may not be practical for the “modern” family to make fresh Nixtamal weekly, so let us do the work for you. Join us on our healing journey as we experience the benefits and connections of working with our Ancestral Foods…

They say it takes 30 days to build a habit. See what 30 days of eating fresh tortillas brings into your life…

Everything needs a beginning, and I hope that this is the beginning of many more beautiful things to come.

From our Heart (Home) to Yours.
