Jennifer M.
"Everything was so good, where do I start? The rice and beans I loved and reminded me of the ones I used to get at my favorite Mexican restaurant before going vegan. The enchiladas were super good too! I also love the fact that everything was in eco-friendly containers, I loved that so much!"

Nejpali & The Tale of the Nopal

Nejpali means prickly cactus (nopal) in Nahuatl dialect. Symbol of resilience and strength in the Mexican culture.

Huitzilopochtli, God of war, abandoned his sister Malinalxochitl and nephew, Copil to fund his own kingdom. Copil grew up full of resentment for his uncle’s abandonment.

When he became of age, he set up to travel to Tenochtitlán to kill his uncle. To his arrival he realized the size of Huitzilopochtli’s kingdom and figured he couldn’t defeat him alone. Copil went back to Malinalco and brought an army of a thousand men.

While traveling, Copil and his army made camp to rest. When Huitzilopochtli heard of Copil’s plans to execute him, he sent three priests to find him, remove his heart and bring it back to him.

The priests completed their quest while Copil was sleeping. The next day, presented the heart to Huitzilopochtli who ordered them to bury it under a pile of rocks in the middle of a shallow lake (Texcoco).

The next day, out of the rocks, grew up a beautiful Nopal, bearing fruit with the vibrant color of Copil’s heart.

On top of this nopal is where the Aztecs saw the prophecy of an eagle eating a serpent and founded the great Tenochtitlán.

Our cooking classes honor this spirit of resilience, tradition, and celebration — helping you connect with the rich flavors and stories behind every dish.
