Chuparrosa

was born from our love of the spirit of Mexico, passion for food, freedom of travel, simple living, the beauty and tradition of hand craft and artisanal practices, and the desire to connect people and create community.  

based in Portland, Oregon, Chuparrosa brings people together through:

• authentic Mexican catering (CONTACT US FOR MENU/QUOTE info)

• creative event planning (including cultural events, community events, team building, etc..)

• cooking demonstrations

• mezcal tastings & bar service

connecting cultures and creating community through food + celebration

We value clean, healthy authentic cooking, beautiful ambient and aesthetic, creating an inclusive community and team for all of our events. We honor our clients as well as our team, and always strive to create the most positive and enjoyable space for all.

Héctor and Elizabeth met while living in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.  They quickly discovered they shared a passion for art, design, cooking, creating spaces, community, food, travel...they share a love for the richness of the culture, tradition and artesania of Mexico....they share a desire to create beautiful and interesting objects and spaces, to collaborate in life with all people old and young, to always teach & learn.  Their daughter Xiluen was born in San Miguel.  They have spent the past 13 years between the U.S. and Mexico, creating and building their vision...Chuparrosa.
