I enjoy cooking, but mostly eating. I am always interested in ethnic foods and learning about culture through food.

Personal Statement

The Esperanza home in Oakland (a.k.a. my home) hosts an occasional POP UP Brunch. We serve Traditional Oaxacan cuisine. My husband Raciel is Oaxacan. He is the chef and we serve his family recipes. Our goal is to celebrate the extraordinary food of Oaxaca Mexico and bring great people together. This is where friendships are made, stories are shared, and you enjoy a delicious meal in an intimate setting.
