History
Established in 2015.
Equelecuá Cuban Café is the brain child of Caro Lafaurie, who became a vegetarian at the young age of 13. Although her Abuela (Lolita) tried to convince her, like most Cuban grandmothers would, that she’d probably not make it to fourteen from malnutrition, Caro held steadfast to her convictions and to her Abuela’s Cuban sazón (flavor). Together with her mother (Liliana), they began to adapt their regular household Cuban recipes by excluding the meat portion and opting to use faux meats in their place, and eventually they were able to strike a delicious balance, so good in fact that even Lolita herself would be proud! These recipes have been passed on to long time family friend Chef Joseph Amlin, who along with 20+ years of professional culinary experience, is now head chef at Equelecuá Cuban Café. Working as a family unit they are bringing multiple styles of cuisine together, that most would think impossible, Vegan & Vegetarian… A lo Cubano!
