OUR STORY
When I lived in Puerto Rico as a young girl I loved to visit my grandmother because she would spend hours teaching me how to cook authentic recipes that had been handed down through generations. Our homes were separated by a long, winding road through the hills and mountains called “El Camino.” When I asked my mother if I could go to grandma’s house, she would say “go ahead and take El Camino.” This road separated us, but at the same time, united us. Still to this day, whenever I am cooking, I fondly remember my visits with her and walking along that winding road to see her, thus the reason a graphic depiction of that road is included in our logo. My grandmother cooked with love and now I am happy and proud to share that love with you. All of Café El Camino’s dishes are made with the finest authentic ingredients and seasonings so you can fully experience the rich, full flavor of traditional Puerto Rican cuisine.
