Siete Stories

Happy Holidays, Familia!

It’s been a big year! 2021, our “golden year," marked seven years of Siete! It’s been a year of reflection about: where we started, how we got here, and where we are going. Here's how we're celebrating this holiday season, and even a few hints at what's to come next year...

Small Batch: Siete X CocoAndré Holiday Bundle

We're delighted and so excited to partner with CocoAndré Chocolatier & Horchatería this holiday season to make... *drum roll, please* ... Mexican Hot Chocolate Bombs! A seasonal treat inspired by ours and their love for gathering with family, laughing, and enjoying desserts—always with cups of Mexican hot chocolate in hand!

Our Family Legacy: Grandma Campos

It was our Grandma Campos who taught us that family always comes first, and it was her stamp of approval of our first tortilla that gave us the extra push of confidence to put ourselves out there and share our food! She inspired us to be brave, lead with love, and put family first. Our grandma shaped us and our family, and we honor her and her legacy every day.

Asada Q&A with Figs and Jorge

Carne asada is not just a scrumptious cut of meat (usually beef) slowly cooked over a fire. It's an atmosphere and gathering where conversations are shared, corridos are played, and eventually, after a handful of cold beverages, bread is broken. Here, our Siete Grill Master and Culinary Expert have come together and answered a few questions about what our backyard carne asada mean to our familia!

Meet Our Juntos Fund Finalists

Along with our recipient, Cindy & Andrea of CocoAndré, we had the pleasure of connecting with Jesse of Algo Dulce, Karina & Lalo of Cocina Consuelo, Jazmin & Enrique of Cocina del Corazón, and Joe of Swine House during the Siete Juntos Fund final interviews. We’re so inspired by the work and the missions of these incredible organizations, and honored to introduce them!

Announcing CocoAndré Chocolatier y Horchatería!

Our Juntos Fund initiative started when we set out to find Latino/Latina/Latiné food businesses creating positive change in their communities. We're honored to announce the recipient of the Siete Juntos Fund:  CocoAndré Chocolatier y Horchatería!

What Does Our Mexican-American Hyphen Sound Like?

Within our family, each of us have our own stories that come to mind when thinking about what it means to be Mexican-American. These experiences—of emotions, smells, tastes, sights, and sounds—are nostalgic to us, and embody what it means to “live the hyphen.”Living the hyphen is an important part of who we are not only as individuals or as a family, but on a larger scale, as a part of the Mexican-American community. Following the previous questions we’ve asked the Garzas about their hyphen, we’ve reached the final question: what does their Mexican-American hyphen sound like?

What Does Our Mexican-American Hyphen Smell Like?

The foods and occasions that the Garzas reflect on in their answers paint a picture of the way (and why) we gather together as a company, years later. They are the same foods that we enjoy on Friday Lunches, summer cookouts, and holiday parties. Their smells bring us to fond memories of living our hyphen, and our nostalgia surrounding them is at the core of the foods we make, and the experience we hope to recreate at your table.

What Does Our Mexican-American Hyphen Look Like?

For some, it looked like a family relic of La Virgen de Guadalupe. For others, it looks like the traditions of gathering around spaghetti on Christmas, and regularly, without occasion. To each Garza, however, our hyphen is both literal and symbolic of connection.

What Does our Mexican-American Hyphen Taste Like?

The Garza’s further explain their Mexican-American hyphen through one of our familia’s favorite topics: food. Potato chips from convenience stores, doused in hot sauce and lime juice, tangy and icy paletas in the summer, and frijolizzas on weeknights with family. In the words of our Grandma Campos, our Mexican-American hyphen tastes like “a little bit of this, and a little bit of that.”

What Does our Mexican-American Hyphen Feel Like?

In a word, we might offer that our Mexican-American hyphen feels like “perspective.” Understanding what albondigas aren’t by knowing what meatballs are; having a firm foot in two seemingly distinct cultures; cooking with ‘a little bit this and a bit little of that;’ growing up in Laredo and living in Austin.

Cinco Con Siete

Cinco con Siete is a season for gathering, a celebration of our family's culture, and an occasion for coming together with friends, neighbors, and community.

SMALL BATCH: KETTLE COOKED QUESO POTATO CHIPS

When our co-founder and sister, Veronica, said she and our Culinary Innovation Team were going to make a queso potato chip, we said, “Y’all are crazy! Everyone knows you can dip a chip into queso, but a Kettle Cooked Queso Potato Chip?!” Sure enough, not only did they pull off a deliciously flavorful mouthful with every chip, but, in true form, they also made them gluten free, non gmo, and yes—even dairy free, too.

What is The Hyphen?

We, Siete, are a Mexican-American food company that lives—what we call—“the hyphen.” The hyphen is a foundational, symbolic way of describing our culture as not being totally one thing or the other. In other words: it’s the blend of our authentic experience of both cultures, Mexican and American, into a unique identity that we identify with more than either culture on its own. Think: tacosand pizza, telenovelasand Friends, Laredoand Austin.

How We Built This

Our Co-Founders, Vero & Miguel, recently sat down (aka hopped on Zoom from their living rooms!) with our friend Guy Raz to tell him the story of Siete.
