Owner/Chef, Javier Hurtado was born in Cuernavaca, Mexico (aka “Land of Eternal Spring”) located in the valley region just south of Mexico City. Both his mother and father came from a heritage both rich in agriculture, as well as food preparation. His family raised cattle and pigs, selling local meats and cheese when farming was a way to sustain life and livelihood. From an early age, Javier learned the importance of raising meats organically and humanely, and shared his time between his father’s butcher shop and his mother’s restaurant, cultivating the craft of cooking and selling indigenous Mexican food.
