Our Story

A Family Table,
Three Generations Deep

Los Primos began in a small hillside kitchen in Oaxaca, where recipes were never written down — only tasted, corrected, and passed from hand to hand. Every mole, every masa, every salsa on our menu still begins the way it always has: with fresh corn, hand-ground spices, and time.

We work directly with local growers for our chiles, herbs and produce, and we still nixtamalize our own corn each morning. Nothing here is shortcut — it's handcrafted, the same way our grandmothers taught us.

Abuela Rosa · Oaxaca, 1978

Opened the original family kitchen with recipes from her own mother.

Chef Elena · 1996

Brought the family recipes to the coast, refining them for a new table.
