Our story
Two islands, one table
Mis Raíces was born where two islands meet. Eddie is from Cuba; Ana is from Puerto Rico. When they built a family, they brought their two kitchens together too — the lechón and ropa vieja of the Cuban table, the mofongo and pastelón of the Puerto Rican one. That is where the name comes from — Mis Raíces, "My Roots" — and the logo: a bird with one Cuban wing and one Puerto Rican wing over a flamboyán tree, because as the poet Lola Rodríguez de Tió wrote, "Cuba and Puerto Rico are two wings of the same bird."
“Cuba and Puerto Rico are two wings of the same bird.”
