A ‘covacha’ translates simply as a hole in the wall, unassuming, discreet, humble. Yet, this Covacha’s approach to food, ingredients and preparations holds a deeper meaning, one that’s more poetic, one concerned with its roots, its methods, and its historical consequences.
Covacha is a tribute to the food of the western Mexican “Ranchos”, particularly inspired in Jalisco, honoring the “Milpa” culture (a pre-colonial agricultural system configured around polycultures). Covacha brings authenticity to the table and attention to details all around, while at the same time represents the artisanal processes and high-quality ingredients, with a focus on independent, small batch producers and revised versions of word-of-mouth traditional recipes, as well as a carefully curated selection of boutique Mexican spirits and natural wines.
