Last week, @apapacho_taqueria hosted an unforgettable 8‑course tasting dinner as @lasquinceletrasoax and Apapacho came together for a rare mother–son collaboration at La Cosecha. The evening became a homecoming, a passing of knowledge and a powerful celebration of Mexican culinary heritage.
Chef Celia Florián, beloved for her role in championing Oaxacan cuisine and uplifting the women who carry its traditions, brought decades of mastery to Washington DC. Her son, Apapacho’s Chef Alam Mendez, continued that lineage by weaving the flavors of his childhood into a modern DC context, creating a moment where heritage met place through food, family and story.
Together, they presented an intimate tasting that explored Oaxaca’s moles as a living culinary language, layered, ancestral and deeply expressive. Guests experienced Mexican cuisine not as trend but as culture, told directly by two chefs whose shared language was the plate.
