About
Mexican cuisine grounded in the traditions and flavors of Baja.
At Awacate, we honor the living soul of Mexican cuisine—its flavors, its traditions, and the ancestral pride that shapes who we are. At the heart of it all is corn, the sacred origin of our culture and the thread that weaves together our past and present.
Our handmade tortillas, crafted daily from carefully selected corn, serve as a tribute to centuries of knowledge passed down through generations. Around them unfolds a culinary expression rooted in memory and place: vibrant salsas, pipián-inspired seafood, and profound moles that transport you to Mexico’s diverse and distinct culinary regions.
This journey is complemented by a thoughtful selection of Mexican spirits, inspired by the ancestral wisdom of curandería, where balance, flavor, and intention come together. Every element is designed to honor our roots while embracing the rhythm of Baja.
At Awacate, each dish is an invitation to reconnect—with the land, with tradition, and with the essence of Mexico.
About
Juarez’s mural unfolds with a central figure, a lion of the seas, symbolizing the jungle's monarch with a distinctive Mesoamerican touch, featuring Tlaloc's eyes and a skull reflecting the passion to honor the memories and inner essence of living beings, especially humans. This majestic being blooms like a spring flower, encircled by maguey or agave stalks, encapsulating a chest that harbors the rich diversity of Mexico's corn varieties—integral in agricultural cycles and quintessential to Mexican gastronomy.
The blossoming spectacle draws marine creatures from the Sea of Cortez, including the humpback whale and whale shark. It captures the harmonious convergence of the desert, terrestrial sea, mountains, and sky, portraying the diverse flora and fauna of Baja California Sur. The ceremonial flowering unfolds in the Mexican desert sea of Baja California, marked by vibrant and contemporary colors that define the artistic brilliance of Mexican virtuoso Fernando "Lelo" Juarez.
