The Three-Generation Tradition
Our family is committed to providing our guests authentic Latin cuisine and superb service in an atmosphere representative of our three-generation tradition. “Don Pepe”, my grandfather, started our family tradition in his cafeteria, serving sugarcane workers of Puerto Padre, Cuba.
He started a tradition of pride and hard work and believed that delicious, hot and healthy food made from natural ingredients was important. Immigrating to the United States in the late 50s, my father, Rene, and my Uncle Raul brought with them recipes and traditions their father started years ago. Rene worked as a chef in New York City before moving to Orlando in 1967.
In Orlando, he worked at the Colombia Restaurant in the Old Cherry Plaza Hotel on Lake Eola and the famous Ronnie’s Deli and Coffee Shop at the old Colonial Plaza. After eight years working for the Walt Disney World Resort, he went on his own; opening his own coffee shops.
My brothers and I became involved in the business in 1991.
