How Aguajì by Chef Tita came about
With a name that screams “sea” and “Caribbean”, this new project represents the essence of the island and its unparalleled flavor, above all it reflects Chef Tita’s mission to represent the best flavors and give new life to the ancestral heritage presented as an offering to the gods of gastronomy that Chef Tita honors with each dish.
