Come experience the vibrant flavours and vivid spices that are the hallmarks of Guatemalan cuisine. From an early age, Mirelle would revel in the Latin flavours created by her Guatemalan mother. Along with the secret to great tamales, Mirelle learned that this wondrous Central American cuisine is best served alongside animated dinner conversation with close friends and extended family. So c’mon down, bring your friends and enjoy the offerings of this magical and delicious taste of Latin America.
