Who we are

It all started around
a tableThe way the best stories in Mexico always begin.

A Mexican family who came to Aguadulce with one simple idea: to share Mexico the way it is lived at home.

¡Viva México! over the map of Mexico — the heart of Alebrijes Tapería Mexicana

We took the Andalusian tradition of the tapa and joined it with the richness of one of the oldest cuisines in the world. At Alebrijes food is never just food: it is memory, identity and community. That is why maize sits at the centre of everything we do… because before we were cooks, we were Children of the Maize.
