Humans of La Manzanilla - Martha Martinez
Posted by David Dagoli on November 4, 2018, 4:35 pm
If you've eaten breakfast or lunch at the Mi Kasita restaurant across from the fish Co-op, you know how good Martha's cooking is. She's now moved to the corner of the jardin, taking over from Arroz y Leche, (and Cafe Risa before that). Martha is from one of the oldest and most respected families in La Manzanilla - there are seven daughters and three sons in the Martinez family. You may have taken Spanish lessons with her brother, maestro Miguel. Another brother, Pepe Martinez is the 'Cazador de cocodrilos' - he runs the Cocodrilario, and had the original tortillería in town for over 30 years. Martha's nephew Gerardo runs tours in the mangrove and is studying to be a marine biologist. In this photo, Martha looks very excited and proud to be in her new restaurant (she's on the right, with shy young server Eva hiding behind her). She told us they plan to have an espresso coffee machine in a couple of weeks. We wish her all the best in her new endeavour!

How interesting to observe the evolution of the puebla each year. I'm sure Mi Kasita will be enormously successful in this location and wish them all well! | -----------------Re: Humans of La Manzanilla - Martha Martinez

one of my favorite lunch spots now resides in one of my favorite spots...….. though we now lose the panache of talking about sitting in the street while eating in LM | -----------------Re: Humans of La Manzanilla - Martha Martinez
