"The restaurant was the dream of Hugo Saynes, along with his wife Janet, to share Hugo's culture through food. Hugo is from Oaxaca, Mexico where he grew up second oldest in a family of 12 and began by helping his mom cook for their family. ... Our menu has been constantly changing and growing for the last 24 years and our excitement in sharing these new dishes hasn’t slowed."
