La fiesta.

Tequeños & Croquettes

Venezuela's greatest party gift — golden-fried cheese sticks by the dozen — plus the croquette family.

The stick that runs every Venezuelan party

Legend places the tequeño's birth in Los Teques, outside Caracas: white cheese wrapped in a ribbon of dough and fried gold. Wherever it was truly born, it became law — no Venezuelan celebration starts until the tequeños land on the table.

Party math, from a kitchen that caters: count three to five per guest before dinner, more if the guests are Venezuelan. Our boxes run from a dozen to the fifty-piece TQMuch, with guava-filled guavaqueños and jalapeño jalaqueños for the adventurous end of the tray.

These come from the counter, for catering and special orders — call (813) 969-3609 or start a special order and give us the day.

Hecho a mano, hecho aquí.

Every plate and pastry on this page is made by hand in our Carrollwood kitchen at 14445 N Dale Mabry and finished when you order it — never from a freezer truck, never from a factory. One family kitchen, feeding Tampa Bay the way we feed our own, with pickup and delivery across the bay and daily favorites at our St. Pete and Soho rooms.
