Atlanta, GA
Maricela Vega has spent over a decade cooking in Atlanta and half of that time has been spent learning and growing alongside the food systems in GA.
Her inspirations come from her Mexican heritage that bloodlines as Maíz farmers in state of Guanajuato. At the crossroads of that and being raised in the Southeast is where you will yourself when eating a plate of food by Mari.
We proudly nixtamal and grind in-house, source thoughtfully locally, regionally, nationally and internationally to create the food we aspire to represent!
