At On The Pass we have a deep love for Mexican food—from the humble street taco to the artistry of fine dining. Mexican cuisine is vibrant, flavorful, and as colorful as the people, culture, and diverse landscapes it represents. It’s hard to imagine a time when the beauty and richness of this storied food culture weren’t widely celebrated, both in Mexico and across the globe. In many ways, we can thank our next guest and his partner for helping spark more appreciation for Mexican cuisine and culture.
Santiago Perez, CEO of CasaMata, business partner to renowned Mexican chef Enrique Olvera, and co-owner of iconic restaurant brands like Pujol, Cosme, Damian, Atla, Criollo, and more. Santiago and Enrique were recently recognized on The Observer’s Nightlife and Dining Power List for the second consecutive year—a testament to their enduring influence. Their restaurants have also received accolades from The World’s 50 Best Restaurants and they continue to celebrate major milestones, such as Pujol turning 25 and Cosme marking its 10th anniversary. CasaMata is rooted in tradition, innovation, and an undeniable pride in Mexican culture. Dive into our conversation with Santiago as he discusses his vision for building on these incredible milestones and the future of CasaMata.
