Noche Mexicana
Join us as we kick off the first “CENCALLI” event.
CENCALLI meaning familia or family in english is the perfect word to describe Hector Ruiz. From the birth of his children to the birth of his first restaurant, Hector has always been a “family man”. And he has continued to grow and nuture all that he loves and is passionate about. It is out of that love and passion that he created “CENCALLI”.
Hector will be showcasing chefs from Mexico and other Latin regions as well as Mixologists. All of whom he considers his brother/sister, friend, student, mentor, teacher and so much more.
In other words, his extended “family”.
We look forward to bringing you many more ~ talents, tastes and traditions….
