It’s been a year. A very long year. I haven’t been able to see or talk to my angel, my rock, my inspiration: my mom. This is by far one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write. My phone screen is definitely a little blurry with some rn tears right now.
But do I miss you. There hasn’t been a single day since that you haven’t crossed my mind. It’s been so hard trying to act like you’re not away.
I made you a promise a long, long time ago about cooking and about getting a few things from a particular tire company. What were once just “what ifs” are now becoming manifestation and none of it would mean anything if those what ifs didn’t become reality.

You were my inspiration at my lowest, and at my highest. I made you promises that will never be broken. promises that will happen, and never stop.
I love you so much, and you will always be my angel. I know you’re always looking out for me.

(Just do me a favor and don’t scare me if you decide to check up on me 😂)

In the heart of our house, you’ll find our sous, @chxfdeli. Christian brings creativity and heartfelt comfort into every plate we serve.

The canestri verde, in his words, is “nostalgic, simplistic, delicious, and unique. It feels like home on a plate. Every bite makes you feel like you’re at abuela’s house,” he shared.

What makes a Customshop experience memorable for you?

Charlotte, thank you for showing up and supporting Suavecito. The love did not go unnoticed and it truly means a lot. This was just the beginning—I can’t wait for the next pop-up, especially when the weather’s on our side. See you soon.

With Suavecito,
it’s more than food - it’s a story of roots, resilience, and rhythm on a plate.
