The Southwest is rich with stories, and Tía Carmen beautifully weaves them into an unforgettable culinary experience. Every dish is a symphony of heritage and artistry—whether evoking the essence of tradition or celebrating the soul of an entire culture. Under the masterful touch of Chef Angelo Sosa, each creation pays homage to his beloved Aunt “Tía” Carmen, whose influence extends beyond the name to define a dining experience of unparalleled refinement.
