Owner: Maria Castillo

Maria Castillo was born in the neigh­bor­hood of Chi­mal­hua­can in Mex­ico City. Her aunt made the clas­sic botanas of Mex­ico from her home and sold them through­out the neigh­bor­hood in the stores, chains and cor­ners. Maria learned how to make these deli­cious treats from a young age, and she brought this skill with her to the States when she moved here in 2001. In 2003 Maria joined La Cocina, where she has spent time with some of the best chefs and cooks in the city, per­fect­ing her happy snacks. Maria is thrilled to share the taste of her child­hood with you, and she con­tin­ues to look for new ways to make your mouth happy. That’s what Botanas Felic­i­tas is all about.

Mis­sion State­ment

Botanas Felic­i­tas are the clas­sic botanas (snacks) of Mex­ico City made with the kind of love that only years of prac­tice can bring. Using the best ingre­di­ents avail­able, Maria Castillo’s snacks are the authen­tic taste of Mexico.
